Faithful Pastor, You’re Not Crazy – Ray Ortlund.: “A text message came in from a pastor friend. I’ve known him for decades. He is the kind of man for whom the adjective ‘saintly’ was invented. He pastored a thriving church for many years. Then someone on staff stabbed him in the back and rallied others to get him thrown out.”

Deep Discounts on Books – Westminster Books offers clearance and ultra-clearance books. There are some pretty good deals to be had!

Christian Leader in the Digital Age – Al Mohler: “If the leader is not leading in the digital world, his leadership is, by definition, limited to those who also ignore or neglect that world, and that population is shrinking every minute. The clock is ticking.”

  • Francis

    Did Francis Prove To Be “The Humble Pope?”

Perspectives are wildly varied with some honoring him as the greatest pope of modern times and some dishonoring him as a disgrace to the office.
