    Thou Shall: Freedom to Strip Away the "Nots" and Discover What God Really Wants [LINK]

    by Jamie Snyder (2014)

    Normally: $15.99
    Currently: FREE

    THOU SHALL NOT. The Ten Commandments are vital pillars of Christianity, but building a life entirely on not doing leaves much of God's purpose for your life undone. A fresh look at the Bible reveals significantly more "Thou Shall" callings from God than "Thou Shall Not" directives.

    A vibrant Christian life is far more about active faith than passive avoidance of sin. The biblical God is defined by movement and action. Jesus's life teaches engagement, sacrifice, and service. God calls us to go, act, advocate, and serve. THOU SHALL.

    The Harvard Classics, vol. 14: Don Quixote, part 1 by Miguel Cervantes [LINK]

    Published by P. F. Collier & Son (1909)

    Normally $17.95

    FREE TODAY ONLY when you use coupon code WINDMILLS at checkout.

    “Destiny guides our fortunes more favorably than we could have expected. Look there, Sancho Panza, my friend, and see those thirty or so wild giants, with whom I intend to do battle and kill each and all of them, so with their stolen booty we can begin to enrich ourselves. This is nobel, righteous warfare, for it is wonderfully useful to God to have such an evil race wiped from the face of the earth."
    "What giants?" Asked Sancho Panza.
    "The ones you can see over there," answered his master, "with the huge arms, some of which are very nearly two leagues long."
    "Now look, your grace," said Sancho, "what you see over there aren't giants, but windmills, and what seems to be arms are just their sails, that go around in the wind and turn the millstone."
    "Obviously," replied Don Quixote, "you don't know much about adventures.”
    Don Quixote

    NOET FREEBIE FRIDAY – TODAY ONLY

    The Harvard Classics, vol. 2: Plato, Epictetus, Marcus Aurelius [LINK]

    Normally $17.95
    FREE if you use coupon code STOIC at checkout.

    Of the three great thinkers featured in this volume, Epictetus is probably the least known today.

    Born a slave in 55 CE, Epictetus showed great interest in philosophy from a young age. With the support of his owner, he studied under the Stoic philosopher Musonius Rufus. After earning his freedom, Epictetus taught philosophy in Rome—at least until the emperor Domitan banished all philosophers. Sent into exile, Epictetus spent the rest of his teaching at Nicopolis in Greece. Thanks to his pupil, Arrian, Epictetus’ teachings were recorded for posterity.

    Epictetus, a Stoic, focused on the practical applications of philosophy. He emphasized the importance of cultivating one’s inner self and living a peaceful life. The Golden Sayings of Epictetus, a collection of the great Stoic philosopher’s best-known aphorisms, relates his teachings on how to lead a good life. Here are a few of the sayings included in this work:

    Seven Golden Quotes from Epictetus​

    1. “Nature hath given men one tongue but two ears, that we may hear from others twice as much as we speak.”

    2. “The beginning of philosophy is to know the condition of one’s own mind.”

    3. “No labour . . . is good but that which aims at producing courage and strength of the soul rather than of body.”

    4. “I am by Nature made for my own good; not for my own evil.”

    5. “If you are told that . . . someone speaks ill of you, make no defense against what was said, but answer, ‘He surely knew not my other faults, else he would not have mentioned those only!’”

    6. “At feasts, remember that you are entertaining two guests, body and soul. What you give to the body, you presently lose; what you give to the soul, you keep forever.”

    7. “Choose the life that is noblest, for custom can make it sweet to thee.”

    Zondervan - four views on baptism

    Understanding Four Views on Baptism [LINK]

    Zondervan (2007)

    Use coupon Code FOURVIEWS at check out

    What is the significance of water baptism? Who should be baptized? Is infant baptism scriptural? Which is the proper baptismal mode: sprinkling, pouring, or immersion? Should people be rebaptized if they join a church that teaches a different form of baptism? Should baptism be required for church membership? These and other questions are explored in this thought-provoking book.

    Do you think that only believers should be baptized? Do you think that children of believers should be baptized as well? Ever wondered how the “other side” defends their position? With this excellent resource from Zondervan you can explore how each of the four views (not just two) listed below argue for their position. In a debate like this, it is important that we understand well the views we argue against, as well as knowing clearly our own view. This book can be of great help with that.

    The Furious Longing of God [LINK]

    by Brennan Manning (2009)

    Brennan Manning's inspiring autobiographical message of God's fierce love for His children. Manning describes himself as a recovering alcoholic, a divorcé, a Catholic priest, and a sinner.

    Imagine a stormy day at sea, your ship yielding to a relentless wind, pummeled by crashing waves, subject to the awesome force of nature. A force that is both fierce and majestic. A power that is nothing short of furious.

    Such is God's intense, consuming love for His children. It's a love that knows no limits, and no boundaries. A love that will go to any lengths, and take any risks, to pursue us.

    Renowned author and ragamuffin Brennan Manning presents a love story for the brokenhearted. For those who are burdened by heavy religion. For those who feel they can never measure up. It is a provocative and poignant look at the radical, no-holds-barred love of our Heavenly Father. It is a message that will forever change how you view God.

    Please allow me to ask you a few questions.

    What level or version of Logos do you have?

    How do you like the Greek tools in it?

    In John 3:16 is the word whosoever in the original Greek?

    The program works best when you have the advanced tools that are offered in the pricey range - but for reading and basic study you can get by without them.
    I've been an owner of Logos products for more than 15 years and have a mid-level collection - far more than I ever could read!


    How do you like the Greek tools in it?
    I've never purchased any other program and can't compare it to other programs. It exceeds my expectations and needs.

    I concentrate and dabble more in Hebrew rather than Greek and know just enough to get in trouble.

    In John 3:16 is the word whosoever in the original Greek?
    Bring up this question in the Translations Forum!

    The "wise-guy" answer is "no".
    The word, "whosoever" is an English word and there are no English words in the Greek New Testament.

    BUT the Greek word that has been translated as "whosoever" is πᾶς (pas) = "all"

    In the verse it is used to mean "all the believing ones".

    Thanks Deacon,

    So then if our original copy of scripture says "believing ones" then the answer is "whosoever" is not in the original copy, logically your answer is no, right. :)
