Introducing the 2011 EMA exit books
Each year we secure a number of books available for just £1 at the EMA exit. We introduced this as an idea last year and it was enormously successful. This year, we've gone for three books of theological and historical substance, plus an introduction to one of our 2012 speakers:
- Wednesday's exit book is Bible Answers by Derek Prime. I've found this Q&A theology book a great help working with leaders and upcoming men in the church. It's a substantial book and well worth the normal retail price of £6.99, let alone a single squidoony.
- Thursday's book is My dear Erasmus by David Bentley-Taylor. This is quite a different book. It is a short biography of Erasmus – the forgotten reformer. Of course, we don't necessarily share all his view on everything, but his high view of Scripture was formational in the doctrine of Luther and some have said that without Erasmus we wouldn't have had the Reformation. A useful hole filled in my historical knowledge. Again, it retails at £6.99 and is a great read for £1.
- Friday's book is by one of our 2012 speakers, David Cook. David is the retiring (i.e. he abot to retire, not that he's shy!) principal of Sydney Missionary and Bible College and his book Romans; momentous news is a series of 50 undated Bible readings in the book of Romans. Great to use for yourself or to give away in church. Not so much of a bargain, but from £4 to £1 is still 75% off!!
