Three Great Reads for EasterEarlier this week I suggested a few books that are suitable for Good Friday reading. Here’s the natural follow-up: three books to read before Easter. One, two and three.

ESV App – You’ll want to check out the new (and free) ESV app for iPhone.

Top 100 Church Blogs – Church Relevance offers the updated list of the top 100 Church Blogs. (I almost didn’t link to this because it seemed somehow arrogant, but I do respect the amount of work CR has put into the list and thought it would be good to acknowledge it)

    Quality Time

    People of all faiths pray. Some pray to gods, some to ancestors, some to nature, and some to the universe, but all speak out words, all utter desires, all hope to be heard.
