Free Download of Pure Pleasure by Steve Watters on 11/19/2009 at 5:46 AM

Recently Gary Thomas gave us a taste of his new book Pure Pleasure in the article "Enjoying the Earth Without Loving the World." Now he's making the whole book available as a free download. See details at his Website. 

Candice has almost finished the book, but she's let me interrupt her reading to knock out a couple of the chapters. I couldn't get enough of it -- especially as someone who grew up in a fairly legalistic church community and had some difficulty learning how to rightly enjoy God's good gifts.

I appreciate the great job Gary does of explaining how enjoying God's gifts properly is the best shield to resisting our enemy's counterfeits. 

Don't miss this chance to read one of the best books of the year at the perfect price for Boundless readers ... free.

Great... announce the book as a free download less than a week after I buy it.

*sigh* LOL.

JVR, hard copies are worthwhile, though. You can't lend someone a download, or read it by candlelight or on a camping trip or on the side of a hill under a tree with the same enjoyment as you can a book made of real paper, in my opinion. Be of good cheer!

But of course, I like free stuff as well, hehe.

Thank you so much for making this available for free; it was a very enjoyable read. This book was balanced, and did a good job regarding controversial issues. I especially appreciated that Mr. Thomas did not overstate his case; it seems like a lot of Christian books argue so persistently for one point that they swing the pendulum too far in that direction.
