Greetings,
I have a non-fiction book for everybody to check out. It is a topical Bible study book written in everyday language so any reader can look it up and verify it for themselves. Simply send an email mentioning Booktalk.org and requesting an e-copy of "The Bible I Thought I Knew" to:
[email protected]
We will send a free copy to you for review and discussion in non-fiction forum, Booktalk.org (a $15.00 value). You will be shocked to discover that Elijah was not taken away on a chariot of fire, Delilah did not cut Samson's hair, Abraham had more than two children, the Israelites had more to eat in the wilderness than manna, there is nothing about a seven year tribulation in the Bible and Jesus did not carry the cross. This book dispels some of the folklore, confusion and false teachings associated with the Bible and you are sure to find some surprises compared to what you were told in church.
Looking forward to sending your copy...
Peter B

Thank you for the kind offer, Peter. We have quite a few people here that know the Bible very well but not from the perspective of a believer.

Re: WANTED: Non-Fiction Suggestions of FREE Books for Group Discussion
You're probably right, lindad_amato. We have quite a few book discussions running right now.
But it is a good thing to have this thread open. Maybe we can start a new non-fiction around April 1st.

Hello - I wrote a book recently and I would be willing to email it to anyone if they wanted to read and then partake in a discussion? It relates to our current political climate and my thoughts on how we can get the middle class back to work and such.
Just a thought, let me know what you think. You can probably read a sample here....

Re: WANTED: Non-Fiction Suggestions of FREE Books for Group Discussion
Hi bloge16,
Thanks for offering your book for free!
You will probably generate more interest in your book if you...
1. Get some quality reviews of your book on Amazon.com. There are none right now. You need 5+ quickly.
2. Add a quality book description to your book on Amazon.com. I suggest a paragraph or two. And then try for professional reviews.
3. Provide a link in your post to a personal website that shows your credentials and background. Don't have one? You need one.
4. Fix the misspelling of humorous on your Amazon.com description. You have it as humerous.
Your book may be fantastic but as an author you need to give potential readers a reason to click and order your book. I'm offering this as constructive criticism because I genuinely love to see authors succeed. It upsets me when I see so many authors struggling to make even a few sales let alone actually break-even.
Give us more! If you don't have a personal website create a free Wordpress Blog.

Thanks for the tips, appreciated. I've asked for reviews, but as a newbie they are hard to come by.
I do have a blog, however, feel free to check it out. Here is one post I was particularly proud of.

Re: WANTED: Non-Fiction Suggestions of FREE Books for Group Discussion
Maybe we can get some members of BookTalk.org to write some reviews. You might want to create a brand new thread in this forum asking for reviews of your book in exchange for free copies. Having a handful of reviews on your Amazon.com listing is extremely important.
But even to get reviews you need to write an enticing book description to get people interested in reading/reviewing your book. One single sentence just isn't enough unless everyone already knows your name.

I'd be willing to kick up some free copies of my memoir, A Life Gone Awry: My Story of the Elan School, but, might Amazon get angry? If not, it's a pretty popular book, and, it helped close them down 35 years after I left

Wow this book has generated some controversy on Amazon. The story itself sounds very interesting and actually a bit disturbing. I would be willing to read your book and write a review.
