I ran a poll on Facebook a few weeks back about how many books people read per year. It seemed that the average was around 20-40, but there were some who read 200 or more!<\/p>\n

So if you are looking for some books to read over the summer, here are 21 free books to get you started<\/a>. Only one of them (mine) is in the “Theology” category … the others are all novels from various genres. <\/p>\n

\"21<\/p>\n

Since most of you reading this are probably Christians, I suppose I need to tell you that it is quite possible that some of these books might contain sex and language. Sort of like life. Ha! <\/p>\n

Anyway, if you download one of these books and enjoy reading it, most of these authors also have other books you can read as well. So hopefully you will find a good series to enjoy this coming summer. <\/p>\n

My book, The Skeleton Church<\/em>, has a free online course that goes along with i<\/a>t. You can join the “Discipleship” area of this site to get access to the course. <\/p>\n

Here’s a video that explains more:<\/p>\n
