Today’s Kindle deals include some excellent picks for both newer and older titles. (Yesterday on the blog: Really Bad Reviews of Really Good Books) It Only Takes A Moment It only…
One of the great benefits of the internet is the way it can give everyone an equal voice. Of course one of the great drawbacks of the internet (for there is no great technological advancement that doesn’t come with both benefits and drawbacks) is the way it can give everyone an equal voice. Nowhere do…

Tons of people want to podcast, but there’s no seamless path to monetization. Someone ought to figure it out. Today’s Kindle deals include just a few titles. (Yesterday on…
It has been a blessing to hear from friends and family across America whose churches are beginning to meet again after the period of forced separation. It has been fascinating (though a little strange) to see photographs of the spaced-out seating, the masks, the deliberate distancing, the omnipresent bottles of hand sanitizer. While I expect…

This sponsored post was written by Phil Hunt and Ben Straub on behalf of Central Africa Baptist University in Kitwe, Zambia, a university I have visited and believe in. When you hear the phrase “missions in Africa,” what image comes to mind? For previous generations of Americans and Europeans, this phrase stirred up visions of…
I am in the happy position of receiving endless numbers of Christian books. Every month or so I try to sort through them to identify the new books that seem most noteworthy and, therefore, may be of most interest to readers like you.

I know I’ve got quite a number of readers from Nova Scotia and wanted to thank you (and your province) for showing up en masse to pay tribute to Capt. Jennifer Casey yesterday. You did the rest of the country proud. If you didn’t check in on Kindle deals over the weekend, you should probably…
No one has more consistently described, considered, and countered the attractional model of church than Jared Wilson. In his book The Gospel-Driven Church, one I’d recommend to every pastor, he answers this question: What is the attractional church, anyway? I (and many others) use the term attractional to refer to a way of doing church…
It is quite a good day for Kindle deals today, so be sure to take a peek. (Yesterday on the blog: An End-of-May Family Update) One Could Never Say Enough “One tribe could never say enough about this Christ. One language would never have enough words and nuances. One nation would never last long enough…

A lot of people watch our film Is Genesis History? and are amazed at how many areas of science and…
The lockdown (or what should probably be considered a “light lockdown”) in Ontario continues, though we are beginning to see a gradual loosening of the restrictions. As of last week garden centers and other outdoor businesses were able to open, and as of Tuesday all retail outlets, except those in malls, were able to open,…

I receive lots of feedback from readers of this site, and now and again attempt to answer some of the questions that come my way.
