Giveaway: Monergismbooks is giving away a Premium ESV Calfskin Bible. That’s calfskin - they killed baby cows to make this Bible, and it can be yours!

Du Jour: Ron Gleason posted a great little article to his blog a couple of days ago stressing the importance of letting boys be boys. I couldn’t agree more!

Theology: Gary Gilley has posted the fourth installment in his series “God’s Will, Lost or Found.”

Technology: ESV Blog offers an interesting new tool as part of the Internet Explorer search bar. No word on when it will be available for real browsers like Firefox.

Nature: This is disgustingly amusing. Two of natures most reviled creatures go at it and the snake loses to the spider.

Emergent: Carla at EmergentNo has written an article examining the speakers who will be at this year’s Desiring God National Conference. In particular she raises some concerns with Mark Driscoll and Tim Keller.

If you want to add ESV search to the right click menu when you highlight some text, install the “dictionary search” plugin for firefox.

type the following into your url bar:

about:config

In the filter type: Dictionary

This will bring up the options available to the dictionary plugin.

Double click the line that says dictionarysearch.menutext2 and paste in the following:Bible Search for ”$”

Double click the line that says dictionarysearch.url2 and type in the following:http://www.gnpcb.org/esv/search/?q=$&sourceid=mozilla-search

You’re set. It will add bible search to the right click menu when you highlight text.

You can do the same thing to the 3rd and 4th dictionary search options to add wikipedia or whatever else search engine you want.

Tim, you are not only adding traffic to my blog, but minutes…sometimes hours to my day. The ESV Google button and InstaVerse are big timesavers. Thanks for all you do, brother.
