Friday is for Freebies (December 16, 2011)

My giveaway this week is Holy Vocabulary: Rescuing the Language of Faith by Michael Kelley, a thought-provoking Bible study written for young adults that deals with the idea of keeping the true meaning of Christian vocabulary from becoming trite.

This study has a retail value of $49.95 and includes both a copy of the book and a DVD with 7 video sessions.

Holy Vocabulary examines words like saved, grace, sin, and repent, and how we've lost some of their actual meaning. Because Christianity has developed its own subculture over time, this subculture has its own music, customs, even buildings, not to mention a vocabulary of holy words that we, as members of the subculture, use to talk about Christianity and are synonymous with the Christian experience. Michael explores the classic, if over-used, words of the church and dives deeply to rescue their meaning. Whether you're new to church lingo or it's your native tongue, you'll find that these holy words have deep and significant meanings regarding faith.

To be eligible to win, tell us what your favorite book of the Bible is and why.

The deadline to enter is midnight CST this Saturday. We will select one winner from the entries on Monday morning.
