Three Special Offers on Jesus on Every Page

December 16, 2013 David Murray 1 comment

Turned on my Mac this morning to discover Amazon selling the Kindle version of Jesus on Every Page at just $2.99. Not sure whether to be happy or sad about that!

That comes on top of the special offer of $100 of free Old Testament Resources if you buy before December 20.

Skype Lastly, and hopefully not leastly, if you are using or plan to use Jesus on Every Page in a group Bible study, I’d love to connect and chat with your group via Skype. Shoot me an email at blog@headhearthand.org and we’ll set up a time for a Video Q&A about the book.

Let a sad fox, a judgmental reindeer, and an empathetic bear teach you the difference as they bring Dr. Brene Brown’s famous 2010 TED Talk (viewed 12.5 million times) on The Power of Vulnerability to life.
