About Reading and Readers
Every month I review Faithlife’s Free Book of the Month. I help you decide whether to get the book for free or to buy it if you missed the offer. Then, while we wait for the release of the next free deal, I review another piece of Christian literature. For the launch of the Reading and Readers Podcast, I review the first four free books of 2021: (Jan) “Deep Church” by Richard Mouw and Jim Belcher, (Feb) “Count It All Joy” by David Jeremiah, (Mar) “Tempted and Tried: Temptation and the Triumph of Christ” by Russell Moore and (Apr) “XXX” by “XXX”.
