"The Discipline of Spiritual Discernment is a truly important work-one that should be required reading not only for church leaders, but for all sober-minded laypeople as well."

John MacArthur (From the Foreword)

"If you were more discerning you’d probably buy this book. If you do read this book, you will be! This book on discernment is simple, clear, well-written and well-illustrated...

The Makings of A Good Weekend

Today I received an advance copy of Bill Perkins’ new book Six Battles Every Man Must Win. That put finishing touch on what I am hoping will be a very relaxing weekend. The plan is to spend plenty of time on the couch. I’ll be watching a bit of golf, watching a bit of March Madness (every March I try and ultimately fail to learn to like basketball), sipping Coke and reading my new book. If they happen to televise a bit of Bluejays spring training action it will make this weekend as perfect as a weekend without football can be.

And never fear, I’ll be sure to get off the couch to spend some time with the family!

I have a couple of book reviews to write and publish and will, of course, be continuing my study of Proverbs.

Note to Bill Perkins - I’m a Web designer. Let’s talk about your site! ;)

Tim, I had never heard of Bill Perkins (being from Alabama the name reminded me vaguely of a college football coach) but I clicked on your link to his website. I hope you are going to review his book and I hope his ministry is solid and biblical…there seems to be a need for such. Are you familiar with Promise Keepers and the Wild at Heart programs? I have read and understand the criticisms against them. We wives and mothers would love to have good, encouraging material to give to our husbands and sons to help them. Please give us your insights and opinions!
