A La Carte (September 13)

Good morning from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, where I’ve stopped just briefly as I make my way to Johannesburg, South Africa and, from there, to Kitwe, Zambia. I’ve got lots of miles still to go! I forgot to mention that I added some Christian and general market Kindle deals yesterday. Eventually I’ll be looking for feedback…

A La Carte (March 20)

I’ve been writing various Christian publishers to ask if they’d be willing to discount some books for kids—something that may help out their parents in this time. Some have begun to respond and you can see a long list in today’s Kindle deals. Logos addicts, there’s one vote left to cast and lots of deals…

10 Reasons to Teach the Bible’s Big Truths to Children

📖 Why teach children the big truths of the Bible? Moses commanded Israel to gather everyone—men, women, and little ones—to hear God’s law. Why? So they could “hear and learn to fear the Lord.” (Deut. 31:12-13) Children need the deep, rich truths of Scripture to know God, embrace the Gospel, and build a faith that…

The Prosperity Gospel We Sometimes All Believe In

My family experienced some difficult days through the holiday season. These were the kind of days that involved ambulances, emergency rooms, bleeds, broken bones, and even terrifying diagnoses that, thankfully, turned out to be misdiagnoses. We entered this new year thankful for the holidays but also thankful to be through them. And, to be honest,…

The Men Who Have Done Most for God in this World

“The men who have done the most for God in this world have been early on their knees.” This quote from E.M. Bounds would work perfectly well without the word “early.” It would then say, “The men who have done the most for God in this world have been on their knees.” Taken that way,…

Trump, Trudeau, and the 51st State

These are strange days in Canada. The incoming President of the United States has suddenly promised to slap a 25% tariff on cross-border trade—a tariff that has the potential to devastate the Canadian economy.

Your Breath Stinks

Have you ever had one of those experiences when you’re speaking to somebody and begin to notice that their breath is bad? And not just bad, but really bad—so awful that you find yourself discreetly trying to step back to get out of the line of fire. Even as you do your best to remain…

Thoughts on Digital Libraries in 2025

Do I have a library made up of thousands of books or do I have a library made up of a couple dozen? I suppose it depends on what you count as a book. It has been many years—at least 15, I think—since I decided to go all-in with ebooks, a decision I have stuck…
