Conference: Ligon Duncan (who was there) and Adrian Warnock (who wishes he was there!) have helpful roundups of many of the posts coming out of the Together for the Gospel Conference.

Bible: The ESV Blog announces that Crossway will soon have a “Journaling Bible” available. “The Journaling Bible is a unique format with wide margins and ruled lines designed for writing prayers, observations, sermon notes, and personal reflections.”
