I ran across
this website at some point in the past, but didn't have (or take) the time, then, to vet it. I did a little vetting--about 45 minutes' worth--of it this morning.
The website is
LaymansBookstore.com. The organization is a bookstore/ministry. They've got the slogan "Where the Truth is Free." (Well,
most of their truth is
free, anyway--they do charge for a very few things.
. But, still the slogan is clever, don't you think?) They request donations, but it is on a purely voluntary basis--I've seen no indication that there is any pressure to contribute before you can download what you want. And they don't make you feel like a heel if you choose not to contribute.
Anyway,
this website has some high-quality ebooks, and other materials. And
most of them are things that I just haven't seen anywhere else,
free at least. It seems that most websites with free ebooks appear just to have thrown together whatever they've happened to find; the organization behind
Layman's Bookstore seems to do some real curating before they post their ebooks and other items. This website of
freebies of "Christian Interest" is like a breath of fresh air.
Being a ministry (or associated with one), the organization does, of course, espouse certain beliefs. But it's all very low-key, and really the only way that I could find to determine where they stand on doctrines is by examining the particular ebooks that they offer. There may be a "statement of beliefs" or something to that effect somewhere on
their website, but I never did see one.
This is a
website that, in my opinion, you definitely need to check out. And that's exactly what I plan to do more of later today, soon after I've gotten some (much-needed) shuteye.
