Is Public Schooling an Option?Answers magazine asked Al Mohler to answer this question: Should Christian parents send their children to the public schools? He provides a careful and helpful answer that looks to past, present and future.

A Short Life of Jonathan Edwards – This month’s free audiobook from ChristianAudio is George Marsden’s A Short Life of Jonathan Edwards.

The Cosmic Battle – “Cosmic combat occurs most Friday mornings at a coffee shop a few blocks from my home.
