We here at Doulos Christou Press believe that the capitalism of the American marketplace is fueled to a large extent by greed. However, as followers of Jesus Christ, we understand ourselves to be set apart from the ways of the marketplace and "the world." Thus, in order to combat the greed in ourselves and in our culture, we have decided to make a habit of giving stuff away for free. This page will serve as a repository of resources -- our own and those of others -- that are free and worthwhile to those interested in radical Christian discipleship. Please download, print and distribute these resources as often as you like. We only ask that -- in the spirit of generosity -- you do not sell these works.
