Because of the recent Price Fixing Settlement between Harper Collins and the Dept of Justice, there is a slow transition back to the ebook store setting the prices on their ebooks instead of the publishers (just like regular paper books.) But we are still in a grey area. Not all books have been released back to Amazon to price and most of the imprints (including Zondervan) have not been released any books back to Amazon. But there are Zondervan books that are free on other sites and at least right now those books have not been marked as free for Kindle. If you want to get the ePub versions (which might be able to be converted by Calibri) or can be read on an ipad or phone or computer, then you should go ahead and pick them up now. You can also report the lower price to Amazon and that might help.

Not a Fan (Teen Edition): What Does It Really Mean to Follow Jesus by Kyle Idleman – $8.99 free at Amazon or Free at Christianbook.com
225 pages, 12 of 12 reviews are 4 or 5-star
If someone asked, ‘Are you a fan of Jesus?’, how would you answer? You attend every movie featuring a certain actor, you know the stats of your sports hero, and can recite each lyric from your favorite band. In short, you’re a huge fan. But are you treating Jesus the same as the other people you admire? The truth is, Jesus wants more than the church attendance, occasional prayer, and the ability to recite Scripture—the fan response. He’s looking for people who are actually willing to sacrifice in order to follow him. In this teen edition of Not a Fan, Kyle Idleman uses humor, personal stories, and biblical truth as he challenges you to look at what it means to call yourself a Christian, and what it means to follow the radical call Jesus presents. So will you be a fan, or a follower?

I have not read any of these books, so they may not be any good. Some of the books from previous Free Book posts or previous Kindle Deal posts are still available. If you want to see all free books as they come out you should follow Books on the Knob on their RSS or Twitter Feed. Or Ireaderreview or the many free book threads on Amazon’s Message Boards.
As always please check to make sure the books are still free or on sale before you “buy” them. Prices can change quickly. This may be a one day offer. Pick it up quick. If you do buy a book and realize later you have been charged for it, here is a guide on how to return a kindle book.
