Free Book of the Month

Somehow I already own the free book of the month for March, as well as the two additional books at a deep discount.  That's cool in one sense, but kind of a bummer in another.

    The larger your library, the more likely it is. I reckon I have at least three-quarters of the freebies already. But don't forget there are other free books of the month at Verbum and Faithlife eBooks.

    This is my personal Faithlife account. On 1 March 2022, I started working for Faithlife, and have a new 'official' user account. Posts on this account shouldn't be taken as official Faithlife views!

    This is now my third month in a row where I already own the "free book of the month" + additions. Mark is right, this is the consequence of having a larger library. Another issue for me has been some of the deals on Faithlife books... twice in the past year I have been unable to acquire them since they are unavailable for download in the UK. In saying all that, I still count it a blessing to receive a free book that I don't own ;-)

    I have a rather small library, 2700ish. I have all 3 too. First time for me. So, was a bit of a bummer. But, yeah, makes sense, the larger the library, the greater chance you'll already have the freebie, and/or deep discounted books. And, I dont know that I knew that about Verbum Thanks.

    I think someone posted in another thread that these books come in Standard Bronze and higher, so many people have them already.

    I generally don't buy the standard packages but the denominational ones, so these are all new for me. It's a double blessing as they cover something I'm teaching on soon.

    That's way cool. It is indeed a double blessing then. 
    I always had to buy my material, and make up my own. (I like my own material better, usually).
