Free DCC book comes up as .99 at Faithlife ebooks

Fresh Eyes on Famous Bible Sayings: Discovering New Insights in Familiar Passages is supposed to be free at ebooks.faithlife.com through 1/2/2019 but shows as $.99. I'd take it for that, but guess there is a problem.

I would like to know why as well.  The offer is suppose to be for free and I am afraid if I do not hop on this, I may miss the freebie as I will be traveling al day on the 2nd

I think Logos had better call an exterminator as I can hear a lot of crickets chirping.

Time for you 5 followers to bump this thread before the day ends ;-)

David E Cook had the same problem.  The free book yesterday had a Faithlife copy so I clicked on it so it would be part of my Library and not Kindle.  When it went to the FL there was a $0.99 charge.  Figured it was an oops, and Cook would fix it with FL.

It looks like this will not get much attention because it was placed in "General" and not "Faithlife Ebooks." I wish there was a way to cross post and get an answer.

Thanks for your response Deborah. There's a problem in the logistics then because DCC was promoting your site as a place to get this book for free. Here is the email I received.

Look clear to me, don´t know any other way to say FREE.   Would be nice if Faithlife would honor this deal, not just give a discount.  

Perhaps good-hearted Christians make mistakes and we don't have to take advantage of that to save 99 cents.

I once got too-good of a deal from Logos through a sales-agent.  I think (?) it was a mistake, but never really knew what happened at Logos internally.  Logos honored that deal, and although I was appreciative, I never felt completely good about it.  I would rather pay a fair price and sleep well at night.

What is DCC? I am always looking for deals on theological books. 

DCC is a book publisher - David C Cook.

I find the best way to keep abreast of books on sale is:

https://gospelebooks.net

This always promotes the sale on Amazon, so I always then check Faithlife. I've saved this link for Faithlife eBooks on sale (excluding fiction)

Of course you should also check out the Logos monthly sale, daily homepage deal and daily Twitter deal too.

Thanks! This is very kind.

We are going to honor the free book for all of you who graciously brought this to our attention in this string.

Thanks Deborah, I could not figure out why the book just downloaded, but now I know.[:D]  Thanks Again.

Even though I didn't purchase this resource, I've been following this thread.  Logos has a history of "making thiings right" with the customer and they did so in this case too.

Deborah, what about those of us who held off buying the book until we got an answer from FL which came too late? Can we get a coupon code to get it for free?

GOOD POINT     Seeing how long it took FL to act
