"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)

I have really enjoyed your "A La Carte" section. "Should We Miss Church Graveyards" was an enjoyable read.

Thanks!

Thanks for sharing the graveyard bit.

I loved the church we went to in Oxford that had the graveyard adjacent and walking past visual reminders of the saints that went before us on our way to worship.

Should the Lord bless us with adequate land for our church, that would be a fun tradition to try to revive.

I loved, loved the essay about the graveyards. I grew up across the street from a church cemetery and used to wander around in it a lot, reading the headstones and wondering about the people who once lived and were part of that church. It did give us a feeling of connectedness that was good. And I loved the writer's description of headstones flying up out of the way when those graves bust wide open. Even so, come Lord.
