FREE EBOOKS: Understanding Anglicanism and Praying for GAFCON IV

Here at IVP we aren't an Anglican publisher (though we are part of a wider Anglican mission organisation - we recently shared about how that's going) but we are a confessional publisher.

We get asked regularly about the tension between those two things - just as we are asked about tensions between being missionally-based and a for-profit publisher, and an evangelical/evangelistic publisher who is also engaged in academic conversations.

With GAFCON IV - have you been praying for it? - ongoing in Kigali, we've gathered some prayer points, and in this blog post we want to gather some ebooks to give away for free - as well as a massive discount on a major historical-theological book by Gerald Bray. 

FREE EBOOKS - Understanding Anglicanism, and to pray for GAFCON IV

We wanted to highlight a few resources. Using the code 'GAFCONFREEBOOK', you can get a copy of the titles below, wherever you are (until the end of the conference on Friday 21st April!):

• God's Church for God's World - an edited collection of stories and perspectives from across English Anglican Evangelicalism, including an exploration of how the communion got to this tipping point.
• Powerful Leaders, by Marcus Honeysett - this is a probing and important book about how leaders wield power. Why not read it with your leadership team?
• The Gift, by Chris Green - this is a book on leadership in the church, by an experienced Anglican minister.
• Evangelical Truth, by John Stott - a classic primer on what it means to be evangelical.
• Accidental Anglican, by Todd Hunter - a book about discovering Anglicanism.
• Essentially One, by Jonathan Lamb - a book about unity, from someone who's spent a lifetime pursuing it, and is (incidentally) an Anglican).
• The Church, by John Stott - a short book about the Church Jesus is calling into being.

We also want to promote Gerald Bray's recent magesterial 'The History of Christianity in Britain and Ireland', a landmark publication. It's not just about Anglicanism, but it's an essential resource for understanding this corner of the church. Using the code 'BRAY1.99', you can save £39 on the book by buying it in ebook format.
