    I wanted to buy one of Ray Franz's books in hardcover as a gift. I went to the Commentary Press website where I learned that temporarily only PDf versions are now available from them. They said that print versions could still be bought from booksellers such as Amazon. This is the price I got from Ama.zon

    In Search of Christian Freedom

    The Freeminds doesn't indicate whether it is hardcover or paperback. I stupidly lent mine to a distant family member and never got it back. We had already left but we were all riveted to the book. His status and familial lines made his revelations pure bliss. I wasn't used to someone aritculating so forcefully. He certainly encapuslated all the nonChristian behavior and cult control.

    On freeminds it says:

    Quick Overview

    Ray Franz, a former member of the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses gives a unique insight into the authority structure of that religion. The book allows the reader a view of the decision-making sessions of a religion's inner council, and the powerful, sometimes dramatic, impact their decisions have on people's lives. Although initially written in 1983, this latest revision reveals a distinctive and basic pattern, a pattern which continues essentially unchanged. Rather than reducing the book's relevancy, the passage of time serves to manifest the validity of the evidence offered and the currency of the issues and principles involved. Latest and Final (4th) Edition, 2008 version, 438 pages, paperback.

    I just posted this the other day, but here goes again:

    By the way, right now I am the sole administrator of all NEW Commentary Press books (Crisis of Conscience,In Search of Christian Freedom, and CJ. Jonsson's The Gentile Times Reconsidered and probably will be for awhile.

    Therefore my books will always have the lowest new price. You can get them from Freeminds at:

    http://www.freeminds-store.com/books.html

    or an Amazon.com at:

    The Free Minds Store:

    http://www.amazon.com/gp/shops/storefront/index.html?ie=UTF8&marketplaceID=ATVPDKIKX0DER&sellerID=A51EU2TKBJ8RY

    or on eBay at:

    http://myworld.ebay.com/mbsurfer

    These are my stores.

    For downloads of Crisis of Conscience from Commentary Press, go here:

    http://www.commentarypress.com/index-estore.html

    I have 40 Crisis books brand new paperback in stock. The hardcover is the previous third edition, so I don't stock it.

    Don't pay $45 for Crisis or $800 for In Search!

    and please don't rip off Cynthia Franz by sharing the PDF file of Crisis.

    We no longer carry Sign of the Last Days, which Commentary Press no longer had an inventory of, but you can buy it at Amazon for $38 new at:

    http://www.amazon.com/Sign-Last-Days-When-Jonsson/dp/0914675095/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1304648998&sr=1-1

    I just noticed my listing for The Gentile Times Reconsidered is $24.95 and the rest are used from $40 to $499 for a new copy!

    In Search of Christian Freedom is not even available from others on Amazon.com, though some were selling it for $899 before I put up my store. :-))

    Now that I am temporarily out of Crisis, only one is avail. (earlier version) new for $79.95 and the used ones start at about $50!

    Vultures. Buy from friendly animals like Dogz.
