Here's the URL of the webpage, telling about the sale.
My opinion: this is potentially a good deal. It is possible, under the right circumstances, for you to get two audiobooks for $20, which comes to only $10 each.
Maybe the best part of this sale is that it apparently includes every audiobook that ChristianAudio sells. To maximize the value of this deal, you would want to try to select the most expensive two audiobooks that you would be interested in. Just for kicks (I lead a real dull life. ahhahah), I searched for the most expensive audiobook that Christianaudio.com sells--it is $165.00! And that's the "member price"! On the other hand, there are a lot of audiobooks that are less than $10 any day, especially if you are a ChristianAudio member.
One hint before I go: under some of the books there is a light green button that says "Get Free." You might want to ignore those, and click somewhere else connected with the books that have that button. Reason being, clicking on "Get Free" automatically adds a trial membership to your shopping cart.

My apologies . . . . I misunderstood the offer.
"If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is."
The offer is not "pick out any two audiobooks with a total price of $30 or more, and you get the audiobooks for $30, less $10 off (or, $20)" (too good to be true). The offer is "buy two books with a total price of $30 or more, and you get $10 off" (an offer that's easily believable).
There is a huge difference in the two scenarios. In the first, you could pick out two audiobooks of $165 (as the one that I mentioned) each, and since that is over $30, you would get both for $20. In the second scenario, you buy two audiobooks, whose total is $30 or more, and you get $10 off."
How you would maximum the value of the deal, as it really is, is to buy two books, with a total price as close to $30 as you could, without going under $30. With a lot of looking around on
ChristianAudio.com's website, you probably could find two audiobooks for a total of $30, or just over that amount; therefore, each one of the audiobooks would be $10 each, or just over that amount.
If you tried the first scenario, you would find out the truth at checkout. I hope that no one ended up doing that, however (I had gotten close).
My opinion and advice now: The deal is just mediocre, and too labor-intensive, what with having to look for the right combination of books to get a total of $30. My advice: skip it--there are better things to do with your time (watch the grass grow, watch paint dry, etc.).
