Free from the author @ Kobo & iTunes & B&N, and thence price-matched at Amazon (available to Canadians).

Cast a Road Before Me by Brandilyn Collins, a 1960s-set historical literary coming-of-age drama novel, 1st in her Bradleyville series, originally published by Zondervan in 2003.

"A course-changing event in one's life can happen in minutes. Or it can form slowly, a primitive webbing splaying into fingers of discontent, a minuscule trail hardening into the sinewed spine of resentment. So it was with the mill workers as the heat-soaked days of summer marched on..."

City girl Jessie, orphaned at sixteen, struggles to adjust to life with her barely known aunt and uncle in the tiny town of Bradleyville, Kentucky. Eight years later (1968) she plans on leaving—to following in her revered mother's footsteps of serving the homeless. But the peaceful town she's come to love is about to be tragically shattered. Threats of a labor strike rumble through the streets, and Jessie's new love and her uncle are swept into the maelstrom. Caught between the pacifist teachings of her mother and these two men, Jessie desperately tries to deny that Bradleyville is rolling toward violence and destruction.

I had seen this study Bible before, and had decided against purchasing it.

However, your post prompted me to look at it again. After looking at it this time, I liked it and decided to purchase it. So, thanks for posting it!

A couple of comments . . . . One interesting thing that I think that I liked was the way that the book presents the material as plays do--with "acts" and "scenes." It is an unique approach--or nearly so--anyway.

Second, Holman (the publisher) seems to be marketing this book inter-denominationally. If so, I think that it would be appropriate that they refrain from including denominationally-specific material (Holman is a publisher affiliated with Baptist Churches). For example, and one thing that I noticed right away because it is so prominently displayed, there is a "Plan of Salvation" presented. While a popular one, it is far from being one accepted by most of those who consider themselves Christians.

I'm liking the sample, except for the 'week one day one' terminology instead of 'January 1st'. I tend to get behind and then play catch up, so this phrasing will confuse me.

Not sure the best way to phrase this question, but does anyone think chronologically in weeks instead of months?

If you haven't seen it, you might enjoy The Word on the Street by Rob Lacey. The author paraphrased the Bible in a sort of "street talk", which I think began as a personal devotional exercise. The memorable thing for me is that Paul's epistles are rendered as emails. By way of review, I liked it and thought it was fun to read, but it wasn't as thought-provoking as I'd hoped.

Rediscovering Kingdom Worship: The Purpose and Power of Praise and Worship Expanded Edition by Myles Munroe is free from Destiny Image.
B&N Amazon

I was a little surprised since Destiny Image has been skipping Barnes & Noble lately. Now that Baker/Revell/Bethany House seems to be skipping B&N, I guess Destiny Image decided to include them again. Go figure.

This book is always free -- I'm mentioning it now because it is arranged by calendar for a year's study. George MacDonald was a great influence on C.S. Lewis, and this book is a good introduction to his works...

Even Now by Karen Kingsbury is free for the moment. It's not really my style, but Zondervan freebies are few enough that I thought I'd post it.
