If you’re into audiobooks, Audible (which is associated with Amazon) has all of their titles discounted, many up to 85% if you purchase them rather than use a subscription credit. So, for example, Becoming Elisabeth Elliot is 85% off while that great new biography of David Livingstone is 56% off, as is the new biography of Corrie Ten Boom. And it’s not just biographies, of course. Basically, just search for a book and click on the audiobook edition to see the sale price.

Today’s Kindle deals include one about the church and one about Jesus.
