There is a handful for Kindle deals today, plus some from Saturday if you skipped the weekend. Logos users would do well to take a look at the sale on Zondervan products, since some excellent products have been discounted. (Yesterday on the blog: The Day I Was J.I. Packer’s Mailman) A Time to Mourn and…
You no doubt heard that J.I. Packer died on Friday, and since then many people have shared their memories and tributes. (See Saturday’s A La Carte for a few of them.) Sadly I never met Packer and never even heard him speak, though I was certainly blessed by a number of his books. But my…

The gospel of Jesus Christ is fixed, unchanging, and unchangeable. Just as God is the same yesterday, today, and forever, so, too, is the good news of what Jesus Christ has done. But the methods and strategies Christians use to explain and defend that gospel can vary as much as humanity does. While there have…
At Westminster Books you can get serious discounts on 12 great sets from Banner of Truth.

For your morning amusement, here is a COVID Risk Chart that breaks it all down for you. Today’s Kindle deals include at least a couple of books I’ve never seen on sale before. Also, several commentary series are on sale, though not at bargain basement prices. Still, you can get good discounts on volumes of…
Jerry Bridges gave many gifts to the church, not the least of which was his 2007 book Respectable Sins. In it he coined a term that describes a whole category of sins that might otherwise escape our attention. “Respectable sins” are behaviors Christians (sometimes individually and sometimes corporately) regard as acceptable even though the Bible…
Today’s Kindle deals include a book by Todd Friel, a book about knowing the will of God, as well as a lot of commentaries. Westminster Books is offering 50% off the smallest ESVs you can buy. Beyond that, they’ve got deals on lots of other great editions of the Bible. Sipping Poison Won’t Make You…
There are a couple of Kindle deals for you to take a look at today. It certainly has been slow lately… (Yesterday on the blog: 12 Key Statements on Human Sexuality) Take the Time “My mother tells the story. Her dad was going blind. So every morning she or her sister would stop by the…
This week the blog is being sponsored by the Westminster Bookstore. As a non-profit ministry of Westminster Theological Seminary, the Westminster Bookstore has been tasked with supplying the church with the best Christian books available–kindergarten through MDiv. We know there are many places to get books. But we believe that books play a profound role…
I want to encourage you to read at least part of a denominational ad interim committee report on human sexuality. That may sound rather drab and difficult, but I am convinced you will find it both helpful and rewarding. It won’t even be particularly difficult. So let me set the context and then tell you…
I had a great week away last week. We rented a little cottage by a lake and pretty much just sat there together for seven days. It was just what the doctor ordered. And now, back to work… There are a few new Kindle deals for you to take a look at. (Yesterday on the…
Yesterday I returned from a journey. It was not a particularly long one—just a week at a little vacation home five hours away. But even at the end of a relatively short journey, it was a joy to return to my home, to my place, to my bed. And it got me thinking about this…
For the past week I’ve been on vacation and all the posts were queued up in advance so I could rest (except for yesterday’s—I just couldn’t help myself). My gratitude goes to Westminster Books for sponsoring the blog this week. Sponsors keep the site going! (Yesterday on the blog: Are Churches “A Major Source of…

The New York Times recently ran a column headlined “Churches Were Eager to Reopen. Now They Are a Major Source of Coronavirus Cases.” The lede is alarming: “The virus has infiltrated Sunday services, church meetings and youth camps. More than 650 cases have been linked to reopened religious facilities.” Here’s how the story begins: Weeks…
I’m often amazed at how much great material people willingly create and then release online for free. Today’s a good example of how different Christians use their gifts and explore their interests to bless people like you and me through their blogs. I’m grateful for each of them. Serving Our Housebound Members for the Long…
Whether it’s a vacation or a staycation (still one of my least-favorite words), it’s awfully good to take some time off, isn’t it? That’s what I’ve been doing this week—queuing up everything in advance, so I can just step away. Thanks for bearing with me! (With that said, I did spot some Kindle deals, so…
The great daily challenge I face in Christian living is not a challenge of knowledge—I know what I need to know in order to live in a way that pleases God. It is not a challenge of discernment—there is rarely any great difficulty in distinguishing truth from error and right from wrong. It is not…
