Thigh, Breast or Door? – “Hey, can you go close the thigh? Oh, I mean the…breast? Nope…the door…that’s it…the door!” Missionary blogs are among my favorites, and here’s an interesting one. Be sure to listen to the audio recording.

The Christian Life – Westminster Books has the “Theologians on the Christian” life series on sale this week (including the volume I interviewed Tony Reinke about yesterday). Be sure to scroll down for a few more Newton-related deals.
