Quotes: Darrin Booker has collected a series of death-bed sayings from well-known believers. A favorite: “F.B. Meyer – ‘Read me something from the Bible, something brave and triumphant.’”

Terrorism: “The Toronto Star” featured a good editorial on the planned terrorist attacks in Canada. “But modern global jihad is a different animal. It is tearing the world apart. It is picking the fight. It is devouring its own adherents.”

Weird: Here is an update on the comical “Million Dollar Tract” story that I linked yesterday, though apparently the target article disappeared. So you can read about it now if you’re still interested.

Review: Reformation21 features a thorough review of Philip Ryken’s “Art for God’s Sake” which I reviewed here.

    They Won’t Because They Can’t
