If you want Christian books without a paywall, start here. The Free Christian eBook Reader is the Android app for FreeChristianEBooks.org, a non-commercial library of Christian living and Bible-study titles you can open with no account and no ads.^1 Every e-book and audio book on the site is free, with no fees and no registration.^1
Inside the app you read every e-book and Bible on the site in EPUB or PDF on an Android phone or tablet.^2 The Play listing says you can browse the growing collection by author, title, topic, or category, and read, listen to, and download the books.^3 The ministry is working toward four formats for each book: the e-book in EPUB, MOBI, and PDF, an audio book, a podcast discussion, and a short explainer video.^4 Its podcast page offers Deep-Dive discussions that work through a book's central ideas in a few minutes.^5 Many titles are already MP3 audio books, with new ones added each month.^6 Recent work on the New page includes a video summary of Ruth, an explainer video for Living Thanks, and a Telugu translation of Job: Answering the Question of Suffering, alongside existing Hindi and Nepali translations.^4 The library also hosts the Berean Study Bible^7 and the Free Bible Version by Dr. Jonathan Gallagher.^8
The site is part of a non-denominational, non-commercial internet ministry whose volunteer team includes scholars trained in theology and history, past and present pastors, and Christians from various denominational backgrounds.^9 The same ministry publishes TacticalChristianity.org, LivingWithFaith.org, and CornerstoneCourses.org.^10 Many of its e-books and articles are by Dr. R. Herbert, who served as an ordained minister and church pastor and holds a Ph.D. in the languages, cultures, and archaeology of the ancient Near East and biblical world.^10 The ministry says it has nothing to sell and does not solicit or accept financial contributions.^10
The official app is Android-only and shows only books offered on the site. Readers on other devices can open the same free files in Google Play Books, Kobo, or FBReader.^2
