I noticed that there were a lot of books about the Reformation being featured on various sites, and floating around on the markdown lists. I couldn't find anything that said
why, though. Then, finally, I saw a snippet that said that October 31 was the 499th anniversary of Martin Luther's nailing of the 95 theses on the Wittenburg castle/church door! That explains it.
Anyway, in honor of the occasion, Crossway is offering a "
free" copy of
The Reformation: How a Monk anda Mallet Changed the World, by Stephen J. Nichols. You can get it in any or all three of our favorite flavors--PDF, ePub, and mobi.
The catch is that you've got to fill out a short survey. And, folks, this one is really
short. I think that anyone could complete it in less than 5 minutes.
This is a valuable book. Amazon is currently selling the Kindle (mobi) edition for $9.79. And the book is rated 4.5 stars there. I
bought the ebook some time back, when it was on sale for $2.99, and thought that I had gotten a good deal.
(I'm not a complete sucker, though--I used this opportunity to get the PDF and ePub, also).
Doing a little quick math . . . . If the book is worth $9.79 and it (for some unimaginable reason) took you 5 minutes to complete the survey and everything, that's like making $58.74 per hour. I could live off of that.
The URL for this webpage should get you to the survey.
But don't dawdle. You must do the survey by Thursday, November 3 if you want to get the
freebie.
I'm salivating thinking about the deals that we might get next Oct. 31, the
500th Wittenberg anniversary!
CORRECTION: I double-checked my math. Spending 5 minutes for a $9.79 book actually would be like making $117.48 per hour ($9.79 x 12 (number of 5-minute increments in an hour))!
