Free Book (EPUB) - The Me I Want to Be

The Christian publisher Zondervan is giving away a download of The Me I Want to Be ($9.99 Kindle), by John Ortberg, as part of a promotion for their ChurchSource Small Group Catalog. The only format available is EPUB, but there is no DRM, so it can be converted for most ereaders.

Book Description
God's vision is for each person to grow spiritually toward a life where the Spirit flows through them like a river. The Me I Want to Be guides readers through the great task and joy of becoming God's best version of ourselves. Bestselling author John Ortberg uses Scripture to confirm God's vision for his creation and reassure readers that this is God's project, not our own. Simply follow His lead and stay on task-not always easy for real people living in the real world. But this straightforward guide provides the inspiration and the tools people need for sidestepping the barriers they encounter. It also gives clear, practical instructions for building the skills and practices necessary for sustained spiritual growth.The Me I Want to Be resonates with Christians who are young or old, new or seasoned. It's the ideal guide for anyone who longs to be spiritually mature, fully alive, and more closely aligned with God's perfect vision.

Click HERE to access the catalog and begin your search. You need to find Gertie, the critter peeking out over the catalog in the picture at the right. I found her hanging of the edge of a page (but the location may vary for each person). Once you find her, click on her to start the process of getting the book. You'll have to click on the eBook link on that page, which will take you to a registration page for Zondervan's ChurchSource program. You can actually enter fake information on this page (or just tell them you don't want any follow up emails) and when you submit the info, you'll go to another page with the download code you need and a link on another website (ebits.net) where the book is actually stored. You'll need to create an account there and enter your code before you can download the book. You'll be given several options for where you'll be viewing the book - just choose Computer and EPUB as the format (EPUB is the only option, no matter where you tell it you want to read it), then pop the book into Calibre to convert it to a format you want (such as Mobi for the Kindle).
