[Vyrso/Logos] free ebook on contentment (until 19/6)
How much is enough? In an age of conspicuous consumption—of designer sunglasses, jeweled cell phones, and five-thousand-square-foot homes—is it possible to be content? In a society where children spend more time worrying about their weight than their grades, is it possible to find peace? In a world being drained of its natural resources, is it conceivable that we do nothing? And with a universe of dazzling temptation at our fingertips, will we still seek the God of all creation?
[Vyrso/Logos] free ebook on human relations (until 19/6)
While skillfully identifying the deeper issues that keep relationships less than they are designed to be, Tim Lane and Paul Tripp show readers how to experience the other side of relationships as well. They convincingly testify of the power of God's presence to bring believers to the place where:
• Conflicts actually get resolved • Tough conversations turn out positive • Forgiveness is granted and real love is expressed and shared • Casual relationships mature into deep friendships • Weaknesses are overlooked and strengths are applauded • People are honest without being mean
A book about relationships, written within the context of their own friendship, Tim and Paul's new offering is straightforward about the relational disappointments that we all suffer. But they are also optimistic about the power of grace to redeem and restore our relationships. Rather than presenting new or sophisticated techniques to make relationships flourish, the authors instead focus on the basic character qualities that can only be formed in the heart by the gospel.

[Kindle/Vyrso/Logos] free ebook on fear (up to 13/6HKT)
Running Scared: Fear, Worry, and the God of Rest
by Edward T. Welch
- Logos/Vyrso format
- Kindle format
Edward T. Welch reveals God’s plan for encouraging those in the grips of fear. One of the haunting dilemmas of the human condition is that fear is “an inescapable feature of earthly life.” Every person who has lived on this earth has encountered fear. Tragically, for this reason our race for the good life finds us all too often “running scared.”In his new release, Running Scared, Edward T. Welch investigates the roots of fear in the human soul and the ramifications of living in the grips of anxiety, worry, and dread. Welch encourages readers to discover for themselves that the Bible is full of beautiful words of comfort for fearful people (and that every single person is afraid of something). Within the framework of thirty topical meditations, Welch offers sound biblical theology and moment-by-moment, thoughtful encouragement for life-saving rescue in the midst of the heart and mind battlefield of rampant panic-stricken responses.
This comprehensive primer on the topic of fear, worry, and the rest of God will have readers retreating to scripture for invariable constancy, stalwart care, and robust comfort, instead of as Welch terms it, “hitting the default switch” by responding with characteristic human independence, control, and self-protectiveness. Running Scared affirms that, through Scripture, God speaks directly to our fears:
Welch’s lively text provides convincing evidences that humanity’s struggle against active and dormant fears are countless. The good news is that God provides both the remedy and the cure for this malady in the person of Jesus Christ, the work of the Holy Spirit, and through powerful, life-altering promises in Scripture. Far more than merely another psychology “self-help” guide, Running Scared serves as a biblical roadmap to a life of serenity and security.

[Logos/Vyrso] free ebook on defending Christian faith (limited time offer)
Reasons for Faith
by Gerstner, John H.
Reformation Trust, 2014
This classic defense of Christian belief from John H. Gerstner speaks to the “thinking public,” and college students in particular. Gerstner avoids technical jargon, and speaks directly to practical issues of faith and doubt. The pastor and professor works his way from general theism to particular Christian belief, addressing criticisms and objections along the way. He addresses the questions about the Bible’s authenticity, miracles, prophecy, and social and scientific objections using biblical archaeology, Christian history, classic philosophy and theology, as well as his own personal experience.
John H. Gerstner (1914–1996) was professor of church history at Pittsburgh Theological Seminary and Knox Theological Seminary and an authority on the life and theology of Jonathan Edwards.
