Well, I've got $4.00 of ebooks that I don't know if will be fixed or not. Of course, if the boilerplate message is truthful, I can return them. I'd like to hang on to them for a while, though, because I'd like to keep them if they get fixed. But, I feel like I run the risk of waiting past some kind of deadline, whether stated or unstated, that they impose on such things. But, I probably have nothing to worry about. At the end of the message, it said that Amazon wanted to "build Earth's Most Customer-Centric Company." I wonder if that was boilerplate? ha Chat it is, next time. And with a transcription sent to me when I'm through. |

I've never tried to return an ebook anywhere close to 7 days later, or even 7 hours later. About the only time that I needed to return an ebook is when I've accidentally clicked on a purchase link. In some configurations of the Amazon product webpages, a purchase link (a button) is located right below an innocuous link, which is in very small letters, that I meant to click on.

I've fat-thumbed one or two in the years since 2009. I returned a gift book via CS because it was a formatting hot mess. Another was returned because the author had released an old book under a new title.

A Candid Examination of the Scofield Bible, by Pieters. (is free epub,mobi,pdf)
“The Scofield Bible may be called perhaps the most influential single work thrust into the religious life of America during the twentieth century. Those who use this work are, in other respects, among the best Christians in our churches. These good people do not lack faith and zeal, but they sadly lack knowledge; and the tragedy of the situation lies just here, that this is the very thing they think they have obtained from the Scofield Bible! In general Bible knowledge, Scofield makes many mistakes, and in his eschatology he goes far astray from anything the Church has ever believed.” This booklet holds four erroneous doctrinal areas of the Scofield Bible up to biblical light to reveal its errors and set the reader on the right path of orthodox Christianity: 1) artificial typology, 2) doctrine of dispensations and covenants, 3) eschatology, and 4) doctrine of the church. http://www.chapellibrary.org/book/ce...field-bible,-a |

Kindle Deals - The Blazing Center
The Blazing Center periodically collects Kindle books on sale. They tend to find books related to church issues, doctrine, and theology, typically by well-known authors. The prices tend to be between $0.99 and $3.99 on sale. I've picked up quite a few very good books there (and I check their site almost every day).
The link is: http://theblazingcenter.com/kindle |

I thought that I was aware of about every good website out there, showing religious ebooks free, marked down etc. But I wasn't aware of this one. I will definitely bookmark this site under my "Check These Daily" bookmarks. |

How to Think About God by Mortimer J Alder.
I got this book on the old sony store which transferred over to the kobo store. On a whim I went to the kobo site and saw it's available at the ridiculous low price of .99. IMHO, this book provides a brilliant cosmological argument for the existence of God. https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/how...source=App_Acq Last edited by Ricky D'Angelo; 07-07-2017 at 04:09 PM. |

It's entitled How to Think About God: A Guide for the 20th-century Pagan : One Who Does Not Worship the God of Christians, Jews, or Muslims, Irreligious Persons. The reason that I put a question mark after "same" is that it almost sounds, from the book description and subtitle, that this is a revision of some kind. I don't think that Adler ever revised his book. I think, but am not sure, that the text is one and the same as the original. It almost sounds like the publisher might be trying to throw people off so that they buy the book again, thinking that this is an update, revision, or whatever. So, choose your poison--Kobo or Amazon. I'm an Amazonian, so I bought the Kindle version. I haven't followed your Kobo link yet. The Kobo would have been nice, because I would like to have it in another format, if something happened and the Kindle or Kobo disappeared one day from my hard drive. Stranger things have happened. I've got the dead-tree version, somewhere in this mayhem around me that I call the inside of my house. https://www.amazon.com/How-Think-Abo...hink+about+god. ADDENDUM: The Kobo book has the same-looking cover. Oop, it's Rakuten Kobo now. Excuse me. Last edited by GtrsRGr8; 07-07-2017 at 07:51 PM. |

I've got probably every book of his, in dead-tree paperback, at least. But I haven't gotten around to reading any one of them (coincidentally--I think that one of his titles is How to Read a Book. ha).
Thanks to everyone for your kudos on the book--I'll be even more likely to read it now. But this is one that I wish were available in (affordable) audio. |

If you don't already have a kobo account you could get the book for free via the promotional five dollar credit account for new users.

Perhaps listening to this librivox recording will peak your interest to dust off those paperback books of Adler. |
