The free deal is supposed to be good through next Tuesday, December 17.

To add an exclamation point to the very high ratings at Amazon, GoodReads has it rated 4.56, which is extremely good for them.

Of course. Sorry.

At least I haven't put 2016 on everything, after New Year's. It usually takes me a month to break the habit of putting down the previous year on stuff.

Now if I could just break the habit of looking for ebook bargains and being on MobileRead too much . . . .

[badgoodDeb]

I'm usually good at writing 2017 in January. It's February, or March, when I'll revert to using 2016, by habit!

That's 85% off of the digital list price!

There are way too many awards, etc. for this book to list them here. Please take a look at Amazon's dedicated webpage for the book!

Sometimes there is a large disparity between the views of Amazon reviewers and of GoodReads raters. Curious, I checked GoodReads' ratings. They are 4.13, from 15,312 [sic] ratings.

No god but God (Updated Edition): The Origins, Evolution, and Future of Islam. By Reza Aslan. Rated 4.4 stars, from 410 reviews at the present moment at Amazon. Print list price $17.00; Digital list price $12.99; Kindle price now $1.99. Random House LLC, publisher. 384 pages. https://www.amazon.com/god-but-God-U.../dp/B004SOQ0U8.

Book Description
In No god but God, internationally acclaimed scholar Reza Aslan explains Islam—the origins and evolution of the faith—in all its beauty and complexity. This updated edition addresses the events of the past decade, analyzing how they have influenced Islam’s position in modern culture. Aslan explores what the popular demonstrations pushing for democracy in the Middle East mean for the future of Islam in the region, how the Internet and social media have affected Islam’s evolution, and how the war on terror has altered the geopolitical balance of power in the Middle East. He also provides an update on the contemporary Muslim women’s movement, a discussion of the controversy over veiling in Europe, an in-depth history of Jihadism, and a look at how Muslims living in North America and Europe are changing the face of Islam. Timely and persuasive, No god but God is an elegantly written account that explains this magnificent yet misunderstood faith.

Okay, I'm going to go on memory here, because it's late in the evening and I want to hit the sack. So there may be some slight errors . . . .

Back probably about 9 months ago I mentioned that the State of North Carolina and/or the North Carolina Museum of Art would digitize any(?) books that they had published (they all were dead-tree versions to begin with, I think). You had to make a request, and then wait a while for them to get around to it (my words).

As it turns out the North Carolina Museum has had numerous art shows and things like that over the years. One of them was called Sepphoris in Galilee: Crosscurrents of Culture. The eponymous book is not only about excavations at the town, which it seems that NCMA was some kind of sponsor, but also gives a wealth of information about the town gleaned from other sources, too. I think that there was some kind of exhibition involved, too, and a number of artifacts were displayed. Perhaps, in fact, this book can best be described as an exhibition catalog. I requested that the State of North Carolina and/or NCMA digitize this book.

I just found out that the North Carolina State Library and/or NCMA have fulfilled my request, and have posted the book on the Internet Archive, free for anyone in the world, I suppose, to download, to read, or to thumb through.

Many Christians should be interested in this book, because Sepphoris was very close to Nazareth, the tiny home town of Jesus. It is not unreasonable to think, although it is not stated in any of the Gospels, that Jesus visited Sepphoris many times as a pre-adult (Sepphoris was much larger than Nazareth at the time; ironically Sepphoris no longer exists, but Nazareth is a fairly big town now), and he may have visited there during the part of his ministry called the "Galilean Ministry." Too, things uncovered in the excavation can shed much light just on what life was like in Galilee in the days of Jesus.

The NCMA has done a first-rate job digitizing this 262-page book, providing a wealth of download options for it, sharing bibliographic information about it, and things like that.

The Internet Archive is the only place that I know of where you can get this book in digital form. Amazon, for example, sells it, but only in the dead-tree form (paperback). BTW--the least expensive copy (Paperback--Used, Very Good) at Amazon is nearly $15 with shipping.

Get R.C. Sproul's book Abortion: A Rational Look at an Emotional Issue. It's free.

You can get it in either or both ePub and mobi. The ePub edition, at least, is 161 pages long.

I don't see a list price for either one of the two available free digital editions. However, the hardcover edition has a list price of $15.00.

This is the twentieth, updated edition. Here's more information about the book:
In this book, Dr. R.C. Sproul employs his unique perspective as a highly experienced pastor-theologian and a trained philosopher to provide well-considered and compassionate answers to the difficult questions that attend termination of pregnancy. Dr. Sproul strives for a factual, well-reasoned approach informed by careful biblical scholarship. He considers both sides of this issue in terms of biblical teaching, civil law, and natural law. This edition includes a new foreword by Dr. George Grant and has been updated to reflect developments in the issue. Appendixes provide further background on the issue of when life begins and list sources for pro-life resources.

Go to this webpage to get your free download(s). I don't know if this will hold true for all of their free offerings, but for this one, at least, you do not have to have an account--you can checkout as a "guest." They do ask for an email address and phone number, I think, so there is the possibility that you may get some solicitations and such by email or over the phone, from time to time. If you are overly concerned about that, check the fine print. The email address is used to start a library on their website (they call it "My Learning Library," I think) of the books that you have acquired from Ligonier Ministries (the publisher).
