Curated content for Christians
Yesterday my son texted Aileen to ask, “How do so many people know it’s my birthday?” So thanks to all those who saw him down at SBTS and said “happy birthday.” Also, I suppose this is proof that he doesn’t read my site! Today’s Kindle deals include a few good books, just like most other…
My eldest turns 20 today. 20! So if you happen to see him down there at Southern Seminary, give him a quick and introvert-appropriate “happy birthday.” (And yes, it’s just about killing me that he’s 600 miles away from me today!) Today’s Kindle deals include a few “odds and ends.” Westminster Books has a deal…
I don’t know about you, but I think the Babylon Bee has been on point lately with hilarious headlines like In Major Gaffe, Bernie Sanders Forgets Words To Communist Manifesto and Christians Finally Vindicated As Sidehugs Found To Protect Against Coronavirus. My life’s better when it includes a little satire. Logos users, get in on…
It’s nice to see Crossway getting back into Kindle deals with a couple of books today. (Also on Amazon, photographers, gamers and others may want to take advantage of a one-day sale on storage solutions like SD cards, etc.) Logos users will likely want to grab the free resource of the month. After all, it’s…
I mentioned on Saturday that a pilot friend was taking me to spend some time in his airline’s flight simulator. Suffice it to say that if you ever get on an airliner and see me in the cockpit, I’d recommend you get out while you still can. Today’s Kindle deals include some interesting books along…
What am I up to on this fine Saturday? A friend who is a pilot has invited me to spend a couple of hours with him in one of his airline’s flight simulators. That sounds like some next-level geekery to me. So off I go… Today’s Kindle deals include the usual Saturday list of Christian…
We are in maybe just a bit of a lull when it comes to Kindle deals, but there are a few for you to think about, at least. We will hope for better things tomorrow. What’s To Be Done? Potentially, Nothing Else. “We have a tendency to expect the church to fix every possible problem.…
I think Ellie Holcomb is creating some of the most enjoyable-for-adults kids’ music today. Her new album Sing: Remembering Songs is proof. Westminster Books has a great sale on a great Sinclair Ferguson book: The Whole Christ. (Yesterday on the blog: New and Notable Christian Books for February 2020) The Baby Carrier This is such…
Today’s Kindle deals include a lot of shorter books. (Pro tip: One of the ways you read many books in a year is to ensure that some of them are shorter books; it’s not cheating!) Logos users, don’t forget that individual volumes in the excellent NIC commentary series are on sale for just $19.99. That…
Today’s Kindle deals are probably not the most interesting of all-time, but there are still a few there. Over at Westminster Books you’ll find all 40 editions of the ESV Thinline Bibles discounted 50%. (Yesterday on the blog: On Cracking the Code) Count Your Blessings Sometimes the songs of our childhood have wisdom to impart.…
I had a very enjoyable weekend here in Littleton, Colorado, and was blessed to meet so many of you. And now all that remains is for me to make the homeward journey! Today’s Kindle deals include Andrew Peterson’s Adorning the Dark, which many people considered their favorite book of 2019. One of the Most Misused…
Happy Sunday! If you have a few spare moments to read on a lazy Sunday afternoon, here are some links that may be of interest. “Christ Be All” Here’s a beautiful new hymn that makes for good listening on a Sunday morning. Why I’d Go to Church If I Were Not a Pastor H.B. Charles…
The best of the bunch in today’s Kindle deals is William VanDoodewaard’s excellent The Quest for the Historical Adam. (Yesterday on the blog: Are You Looking for Something Good To Read?) The Most Frightening Three Words Kimberly Wagner writes about the most frightening words for those who are suffering from chronic pain. “I’ve learned that…
I’m off to Denver today to speak several times over the weekend at Littleton Bible Chapel. I look forward to meeting some of you there! Today’s Kindle deals include Reading Timothy and Titus with John Stott which I used for devotions last year (coupled with the ESV Scripture Journal) and thoroughly enjoyed. Logos users may…
I wanted to remind you that I’m now into the pre-order phase for my new book and documentary series Epic: An Around-the-World Journey Through Christian History. If it’s something you plan to purchase anyway, it would be helpful to the publisher if you pre-purchased it now. Today’s Kindle deals include a short list today, several…
Last week’s article on blogging resulted in a flood of people sending their blog to me. There were so many that I couldn’t reply to each of you personally, but do know that I’m grateful. I added each to my RSS reader and look forward to tracking with them all. Today’s Kindle deals include a…
I spent a chunk of yesterday’s Family Day holiday catching up with some of the longform articles I had bookmarked but not yet gotten around to reading. You’ll see a few of them appear in A La Carte over the next few days. There’s a variety of books listed in today’s Kindle deals. (Yesterday on…
It is Family Day here in Canada—a holiday invented recently (as a campaign promise, I think) just to give us a day off in February. I gladly accept it. There are just a few Kindle deals today—two of them designed to help you with joy or happiness. Five Ways You’re Probably Not A Calvinist Wes…
Today’s Kindle deals include a pretty good selection. You’ll find some older ones, plus some new ones like the highly-regarded A Big Gospel in Small Places. (Yesterday on the blog: What Do Hitmen and Porn Watchers Have in Common?) Looking For a Church? Here’s What to Look For Jim Elliff: “My list doesn’t include a…
A quick look at my weather app shows a frigid -14 Celsius out there this morning. Beside it is the “feels like” temperature which accounts for wind and other factors; it is registering at -24. Maybe someone else would like to go out there and carry my trash to the road for pickup? Today’s Kindle…
