Free book (nook/Sony/Kobo/Kindle) - The Heart of Memory [Christian Fiction]

[ATDrake]

The Heart of Memory, a contemporary self-discovery novel by Alison Strobel, is free courtesy of Christian publisher Zondervan.

Currently free from B&N, Sony, and Kobo (available to Canadians). Likely to show up free for Amazon (linked for your pricedrop-check convenience) since Zondervan is an Agency publisher.

Description
When beloved Christian writer and speaker Savannah Trover becomes gravely ill, she has to face the sham that her faith has become. Days before her heart transplant, she vows to change her ways and she renews her relationship with Christ. But when she awakens from the surgery, Savannah discovers that her faith has left her completely.

Savannah's husband, Shaun, is concerned about his wife's odd behavior—and even more concerned about the secret he's keeping from her. If she doesn't bring down their ministry, then he might, losing his family in the process.

A stranger may hold the answer to Savannah's recovery, but is Savannah strong enough to return to her old way of life? Can Shaun right his wrongs before word gets out? And do either one of them remember how to be who they once were—or who they want to be?

In this latest relational drama from Alison Strobel, readers will explore the difference between emotional faith and life-giving truth as Savannah wonders if she can ever trust her heart again.

there sure are a lot of free christian ebooks o_o

Apparently the publishers have determined free giveaways boost sales. Or maybe just get the message out and evangelical considerations trump monetary returns. Who knows?

In any case, I'd say that the erotica people have determined the same, given how many freebies they give away as well.

This one is non-free for Canadian Kindlers, by the way.

ETA: Might as well add that it's also free in ADE-DRM ePub over @ Christian Book (not available to Canadians).

Thanks for the balance For good or bad (depends on the individual), the free book spurts come in different genres, not just Christian

[ATDrake]

I just wish they'd spurt more sf/fantasy/mystery/historicals that didn't happen to be crossover/paranormal porn.

Not that the frequent offerings aren't great for people who love to get free paranormal porn, but it would be nice to have some more stuff I actually read offered to try at zero initial cost.

But then, there's the Baen Free Library and assorted promo CDs, so when I think about it, I'm probably somewhat ahead as far as freebie genre selection goes. Or I would be, if I were considerably fonder of MilSF.

Careful there - it shows free on the product page, but $9.99 when you add it to your cart or click on Buy Now. Hopefully will settle down and be fixed by tomorrow.
