Free Book (EPUB/nook) - In Between

Update: 3/15/11 Now free at Christianbook.com and Sony

In Between ($7.99 Kindle), by Jenny B. Jones, which was free on Kindle last June, is free to download in the B&N store for the nook. This is the start of the teen christian fiction Katie Parker Production series and has almost all 5-star reviews.

Book Description
Unlike most kids, teenage Katie Parker never got a fair shot at a normal life. With a mother in jail and a missing-in-action dad, she's never known what it's like to truly be loved. Low on options and family members, she's soon shipped off to a foster home. Now in an unfamiliar town, Katie's rebellious attitude is at odds with her new family, school, and classmates. And after falling in with all the wrong people at school, things go from bad to really bad after she takes the blame for vandalizing the local performing arts theater. But in the midst of a dark situation, Katie finds light in the most unexpected places: through her new friendship with an eccentric senior, the commitment of her foster family, and a tragic secret that changed them forever. And as she inches closer to acceptance and forgiveness, she finds that God has been there all along.

Free Audiobook - The Holiness of God!

Tyndale House Publishers, Ligonier Ministries and Christianaudio have partnered up and are giving away an audiobook download of The Holiness of God! ($9.89 Kindle) by R.C. Sproul, narrated by Grover Gardner, for free during the month of March. Several of this popular reformed theologian's books have been free Kindle, but generally only for one day. It is rare to see one of his free for an entire month and especially so to have six other titles marked down to $4.98 each.

Book Description
What is the holiness of God? Are you intrigued by it, or are you terrified? R.C. Sproul clearly identifies this attribute of God and all the associations one may make with it. This absolutely will inform and radically cause a re-thinking of one’s view of God.

Get your free audio download HERE and scroll down the page for the discounted titles. The checkout process is very streamlined(a coupon code is no longer required) and the download process (no longer do you have to download each part of the book separately). You can also send a gift download of the free audiobook to someone else!

After you finishing your order, you download a zip file with the entire audiobook - select MP3 if you want to be able to play the book on your Kindle. Unzip the contents to the \audiobooks directory on your Kindle (not \music) in order to have audiobook controls and see it on your Kindle home page.
