Free Audiobook: Religion Saves and 9 Other Misconceptions

Until the end of February you can download a Mark Driscoll book for free at christianaudio.  In Religion Saves: And 9 Other Misconceptions, the Seattle pastor addresses questions he is most-often asked about his influential (and often controversial) ministry. The ten topics include:

  • Birth Control
  • Humor (specifically, the appropriateness of humor in the pulpit)
  • Predestination
  • Grace
  • Sexual Sin
  • Faith and Works
  • Dating
  • The Emerging Church
  • The Regulative Principle (i.e., what belongs in a worship service)

The chapter on humor is worth your time if you don't have time to listen to any other part of the book.

The only downside: Driscoll recorded his own audiobook, and the longer he read the stranger his cadence became, putting pauses and emphasis in the wrong places in the sentences. It was sometimes exhausting to follow his train of thought when he fell into those odd rhythms of reading. 

But download the book and give it a listen: It's an entertaining way to get introduced to some important subjects.
