    Kindle deal hunters will find just a few relatively minor ones today. (Yesterday on the blog: Risen Motherhood) Is Your Church Frantic or Focussed?

  • The Truth of The Scriptures: The Most Practical Thing You Can Give Your People

    This week’s blog post is sponsored by Southern Seminary, an institution that equips people for pastoral ministry, missions, and counseling in the truth that endures. J.T. English hears it all the time: “We live in a post-truth world.” That’s true, English says, but we have to resist the temptation to assume the church is a…

    Not Home Yet

    If you pay attention to Christian publishing, you’ll observe that certain themes come and go, rise and fall. One author will write a book on a subject and that may ignite interest so that several others follow up to challenge that person’s view, to affirm it, or to pursue it from a different angle. A…
