KJB 1611 Commemorative Edition Giveaway

~ Bob Hayton

In honor of the 400th Anniversary of the King James Bible (which was officially yesterday), I’m hosting a giveaway of a free copy of Hendrickson’s KJB 1611 Commemorative Edition Hardback Bible. Check out the details of the contest over at my group KJV themed blog: KJVOnlyDebate.com.

Also, if you haven’t checked out my video review of A Visual History of the King James Bible by Donald Brake, you should. There’s a lot of history in visual form, which captures the beauty and wonder of the history of our English Bible.

Live at The Gospel Coalition Conference – 3

~ Bob Hayton ~ 2 Comments

Books, books, books!!! Lots of book tables at The Gospel Coalition Conference. I had the chance to help out at the Christian Focus Publications table for an hour, with my friend Shaun. I also received multiple free books and Bibles galore, as part of the conference.

Tuesday night, both of us attended the Band of Bloggers event. 150 bloggers met to discuss blogging and working together to advance the Gospel. We heard from well known bloggers like Collin Hansen who directs the Gospel Coalition blog, Justin Taylor, Tim Challies, and many more.

Everyone got about 17 books (they ran out at the end, so I ended up with 16) from publishers who sponsored the event. You can see the list of books here. Around our table were five other bloggers, some of whom are pastors: Pastor Mike Berry of HeartofaRebel.com, Pastor Eric Redmond of A Man from Issachar, Nick Rynerson of Gospel Community Culture, Pastor Deryck Barson of PrizingGod.com, and Pastor Caleb Billingsley of Redeemer Church blog.

It was fun to be included in the Bloggers event and meet other men who are passionate about disseminating truth through online media. Another blessing of the conference has been meeting a few of my readers who stop and let me know they’re blessed by my blogging. Three different people have stopped me and talked to me about my blog. It’s a joy to know that my labors are helping others. To God be the glory.

Live at The Gospel Coalition Conference – 1

Yesterday my good friend Shaun & I drove to Chicago for The Gospel Coalition Conference. This morning we registered and received a new NIV compact Bible, a new edition of the ESV and an HCSB plus Collected Writings on Scripture by D A Carson.

We got a sneak peek at the expansive book tables and vendor area, too. The McCormick Place is huge and I hear 6,000 are attending the conference. I’ll try to give live updates from time to time, as I can.

For those who aren’t here, Desiring God is helping to live stream conference! Tune in, and be blessed.

Win Free Bible Commentaries & Theology Books from Christian Focus

~ Bob Hayton ~ 10 Comments

If you’re like me, you are always looking to expand your library. The best way to do that is by winning free books! Blogging & social media offer opportunities to get books, but often they aren’t necessarily books you’d really purchase yourself. They aren’t that great, sometimes.

Well this week, Christian Focus Publications is giving away some really good theology books & a Bible commentary over at their new BookNotes blog.

There will be two winners, and you can win either of these prize packs:

First Prize:

Second Prize:

Be sure to enter this special book giveaway. And for another chance at a free Bible commentary, you can also enter a contest I’m running over at my King James Only debate blog. Zondervan is sponsoring the giveaway of their new two volume King James Commentary on the whole Bible. Learn more about that contest here.

I believe both contests run through the end of this week. From one book lover to another, enjoy!
