Since the other Christian thread just said "free" and things seem to have shifted to monthly threads...
We point out free and bargain Christian titles to each other. Please don't post any self-published books, and please do a search before posting to avoid duplicates.
Be aware that many freebies are only free for a day, so grab them fast!
First up, the Baker Publishing Group has a couple of bargain books that just before this post were still coupon-eligible at Kobo in the U.S. using
BookRiot50.
First, the oddly-named
Baker Illustrated Bible Handbook (Text-Only Edition) is $1.99 before discount and is, as promised, text-only. Here is their excuse (from inside the book):

In this text-only edition, there are references to images and maps that are found in the print edition that do not appear in the text-only ebook. The print edition includes more than 1,100 full-color pages featuring some of the best biblical photos and artwork available. However, at the current time, standard ebook file formats are not capable of faithfully reproducing a full-color book of this scope. Because we recognize that many readers will want to take The Baker Illustrated Bible Handbook with them on their e-readers, we are publishing this text-only ebook as a convenient, portable supplement to the print edition.

I decided that even so, it was still worth it at 99 cents after the discount at
Kobo.
It's also $1.99 at
B&N,
eChristian and
Amazon
Though $9.99, the
Google Books edition includes a PDF scan that presumably includes the missing illustrations. I'm not very hopeful, but maybe it'll drop in price in the next few days.
The other bargain is
Jesus Mean and Wild: the Unexpected Love of an Untamable God by Mark Galli. It's $2.99, but discountable to $1.49 at
Kobo. Also $2.99 at
B&N,
eChristian and
Amazon.

God loves you and has a wonderful difficult plan for your life.
The contemporary church loves to paint Jesus as gentle, meek . . . nice. But in this striking book, Mark Galli introduces us to a different sort of savior--one who often makes other people feel decidedly uncomfortable.
Focusing on Jesus as he is portrayed in Mark's Gospel, Galli unveils the power of Christ in his militancy--an aspect frequently ignored in many churches today. Through biblical episodes, stories of saints--classic and contemporary--personal snapshots, and discussion questions, Galli shows that Christ's deep love for his people is richer and more difficult than we imagine. But it is in this persistent, fearsome, and untamed love that we can find true joy.
