Giveaway: Scott [2] is having his second monthly “Free Books Friday.” “This edition has 250 books and 100 audio sermon tapes (MacArthur, Mohler, Piper, Begg, Sproul, etc).”
Du Jour: Josh Harris points to [3] an article from Christianity Today discussing what went wrong with Bruce Wilkinson’s ill-fated attempt at conquering poverty in Africa. “Though I didn’t agree with the premise of his best-selling The Prayer of Jabez or the way many people treated the prayer as a sort of good luck charm, I respect Wilkinson’s obvious love for the Savior and desire to minister to the poor and to orphans. I hope you’ll join me in praying for Mr. Wilkinson and his family.”
Theology: Jollyblogger has some good thoughts [4] on other people’s good thoughts about Total Depravity.
Books: Michael Haykin cries out [5] for authors equal to the task of writing biographies of the great Puritans.
