Free Audiobook - Jesus Calling

ChristianAudio's free download this month is Jesus Calling by Sarah Young, narrated by Grover Gardner ($9.99 Kindle). After adding the audiobook to your cart, enter the coupon code JAN2010 during checkout.

Jesus Calling is a devotional filled with uniquely inspired treasures from heaven for every day of the year. After many years of writing in her prayer journal, missionary Sarah Young decided to listen to God with pen in hand, writing down whatever she believed He was saying to her. It was awkward at first, but gradually her journaling changed from monologue to dialogue. She knew her writings were not inspired as Scripture is, but journaling helped her grow closer to God. Others were blessed as she shared her writings, until people all over the world were using her messages. They are written from Jesus' point of view, thus the title Jesus Calling. It is Sarah's fervent prayer that our Savior may bless readers with His presence and His peace in ever deeper measure.

Video Game Deal at Amazon

I know several people picked up new video game controllers over the holidays (my brother finally got a PS3, for example), so I wanted to let you know about this deal at Amazon, as well as an updated version of one of my favorite WII games, Rabbids Go Home ($27.99), which is today's game of the day (so the price is only good thru midnight PDT).

Game Description

• In true Raving Rabbids fashion, soup up your shopping cart with a Jet Ski, an airplane reactor, or a hospital Bubble Bed to wreak endless havoc everywhere.
• In the Rabbid's first comedy adventure control two Raving Rabbids and their shopping cart as you collect everything is sight to build a junk pile high enough to reach the moon.
• Make a huge mess and provoke hilarious situations in over 15 striking game environments. The greater the mess the more in-game opportunities you will have.
• Race, chase, boost through 40+ missions while scaring the Humans right down to their undies, literally! Ridicule reams of relentless enemies and their nasty pooches in an increasingly paranoid world of Rabbid-haters.
• Encounter a cast of colorful, oddball characters and explore a remarkable parody of the modern world as if you were living inside an interactive cartoon.

The rest of the Video Games they are running isn't one that runs out today (but soon - tomorrow) and can be combined with today's Game of the Day if you want. If you spend $80 or more on video games, in a single purchase, you'll get a $20 promotional credit to use for a later purchase. There is a link for qualifying games, but there seem to be hundreds and choices for every gaming console out there. There are a few restrictions, the biggest of which is that only purchases from Amazon.com as the seller and made between 3:30pm Pacific time December 28, 2009 and 11:59pm Pacific time January 2, 2010 will qualify for this promotion. Accessories don't qualify, but it seems you can mix and match games for different consoles, so long as you get to the magical $80 total and once you get the credit, you can use it on any video game, not just a restricted list.

Looking through the lists, it seems that most games have at least a small discount, some more than others. I saw a great deal on Your Shape at $49.99 ($20 off) and The Biggest Loser is $34.99. I've played both recently and you can get a good workout with either one (the former is a bit more intense, but also seems to require more room, as your entire body must be seen by the camera for it to register movements. I actually have EA Sports Active: More Workouts $35.99 on order right now, or I'd add that to my order so that I can get the credit. I am considering Active Life: Extreme Challenge at $46.98, but that still leaves me about $10 short ... excuse me while I go shopping for a while....

Free Book (PDF) - Loving Eliza

Ruth Ann Nordin has added another free novel to her website, Loving Eliza. Like the rest of the free books there, only a PDF version is available.

Book Description
All Eliza wanted was a new beginning...

Eliza leaves Omaha for a new life. A chance to be something she never had the opportunity to be before: a lady--a woman with a good reputation.

John Evans has never belonged in his small town. So when Eliza shows up and treats him better than anyone ever has, he's ready to marry her before she finds someone she'd rather be with.

But she harbors a secret that makes someone like her unsuitable for marriage, and she is determined that no one will ever find out. Ever.

Until someone from her past shows up...

Then who is going to dare love a woman like her?

Happy New Year!

We will open the book. Its pages are blank.
We are going to put words on them ourselves.
The book is called Opportunity
and its first chapter is New Year's Day.
