Free article, journal, video, and book

In the gift economy, information wants to be free.  So, here are the latest freebies I've run across that are both free and excellent.

The new Neue Quarterly will be out soon, and my article "Remembering Why You Said Yes" is in this issue.  You can read my article for free, compliments of the folks at Neue by clicking here.  The entire quarterly, all 200+ pages of it are free, here.

Scott Linklater sent me a link to a free video, What is Simple Church? The vid provides great interviews with simple church pastors who are doing amazing things on very little money.  These churches are a model for the church of the future, and you ought ot watch this, then share it.  And, it's free!

And, if you missed it, Chris Anderson's new book, Free: The Future of a Radical Price, is well....free!  Click Google's Books blog for all the ways you can get Free for free.  Chris Anderson wrote The Long Tail, and is an editor with Wired magazine.

I've written about this before here, and Free supports my point that you ought to make as much stuff free as possible, and that it pays off in the long run.  Besides, shouldn't we as followers of Christ be giving away the insights God gave us that will help others?  I think so, and Chris Anderson's book proves it. He's given away 100,000 free digital copies, and this week the book premiered at number 12 on the New York Times Non-Fiction Bestseller list.  Free works!

Enjoy the free stuff!
