Pray for R.C. Sproul – Ligonier has an update on R.C. Sproul’s condition. Do continue to pray for his recovery.

Books for Theologians – This week’s deals at Westminster Books will be of special interest to pastors or theologians (or people looking for read reading that will stretch them); be sure to scroll down to see them all.
