Show Them Jesus – This looks like a very helpful resource from New Growth Press. Westminster Books has it deeply discounted if you buy it in bulk to give away.

Mr. Controller – David Murray goes looking for the characteristics of the authoritarian, controlling person.

Firing Rome’s Canon – R.C. Sproul Jr. on the canonization of two former popes: “I can’t fathom how anyone could believe the silliness we’re all supposed to be celebrating.
