A La Carte Collection cover image

Jerusalem & Hollywood – Carl Trueman recently wrote an article critiquing giant Christian conferences. Thabiti Anyabwile returned fire and Trueman took the opportunity to respond. There is some interesting (and kind-hearted) discussion there.

The Church in China – Dr. Mohler has an article that offers a little glimpse into the persecuted church in China.

Hope in Death – A friend pointed me to this article which was written a few years ago. It’s beautiful and deeply moving.

Tax Dollars – Plug in a couple of numbers and you can see what happened to all of those tax dollars you just paid.

Kindle Library Lending – This is an interesting development. “Amazon today announced Kindle Library Lending, a new feature launching later this year that will allow Kindle customers to borrow Kindle books from over 11,000 libraries in the United States. Kindle Library Lending will be available for all generations of Kindle devices and free Kindle reading apps.”

The Hobbit – Peter Jackson takes you on a tour of the first sets for The Hobbit.

When you are in the right, you can afford to keep your temper; and when you are in the wrong you cannot afford to lose it.

—G.C. Lorimer
