Order an ESV, Get Rethinking Worldview at 50% Off

Our friends at Crossway have extended a special offer to Bible Design & Binding Blog readers! From now until December 14, when you buy an ESV Bible from Crossway, you can also get my book Rethinking Worldview: Learning to Think, Live, and Speak in This World at 50%. That works out to just $8.50 per book, the lowest price available anywhere. If your total order exceeds $30, Crossway throws in free shipping. Look at the nifty banner, and then I'll explain how this works.

What you'll need to do is click on the banner, which will take you to the Bible page at Crossway.org. Add whatever Bible(s) you'd like to the shopping cart. Then, add a copy of Rethinking Worldview to your cart, too. It will show up at the 50% price. The only catch is, to get the discount, you'll have to add Rethinking Worldview to your cart.

You could pre-order one of the upcoming Personal Size Reference Bibles, due out in January, and get a copy of Rethinking Worldview for half off. Or you could spring for the excellent Daily Reading Bible. The possibilities are endless. And if you decide that everyone on your Christmas list needs a copy of Rethinking Worldview -- and let's face it, who doesn't? -- you can buy a whole stack of them at discount. Just remember to pull the trigger by December 14.

I want to thank the folks at Crossway for making this possible. They've been extraordinarily supportive of the book. And thank you for making the Bible Design and Binding Blog such a cool place to hang out!
