Giveaway: Monergismbooks is giving away a Premium ESV Calfskin Bible. That’s calfskin – they killed baby cows to make this Bible, and it can be yours!

Emergent: Carla at EmergentNo has written an article examining the speakers who will be at this year’s Desiring God National Conference. In particular she raises some concerns with Mark Driscoll and Tim Keller.
