2023 Theological Gift Guide

Christians should be the best at giving gifts...

The Gospel is always free.

And, I’m trying to keep everything we publish free to download. (But, it’s kinda weird to give someone a pdf for Christmas.)

Here again are some sanctified Christmas gift ideas.

Please add your own suggestions in the comments!

1/ Book (kind of): Lord, Teach Us to Pray

Here’s the newest book, Lord, Teach Us to Pray. But it’s a little more than a book. It takes Martin Luther’s explanation of the Lord’s Prayer, and includes a QR link to a video of me teaching on the text.

We lowered the price to $9.99, AND Lulu is offering 30% off this weekend.

Click here to order this book, and use promo code TWINKLE30 at checkout for the discount.

2/ Lulu has the Books

All the books we’ve republished are also on Lulu. (Remember TWINKLE30 for 30% off.)

Browse over 35 titles here.

Our friends at Ad Crucem continue to add to their great collection of orthodox products. They have tons of great gifts. Not trinkets, but real art. Check out their collection here.

8/ Logos Bible Study Software

I use Logos for the Worldwide Bible Class, sermon prep, Bible Study, and theological research. It’s a pricey piece of software, but very helpful. Click here to look around, and get 15% off. Click here to see their Black Friday deals.

Finally, you’re asking, “Hey, buddy, where’s the calendar?” Alas, I had great plans for 2024, A Year of Peace, but couldn’t get it done. Sorry.

Happy Thanksgiving! Christ is risen!
