Ten Significant Christian Publications – 2008
Keith Mathison: “The year 2008 witnessed the publication of a large number of Christian books. Deciding which to include in this list was no simple matter. I’ve included titles that I believe will have a lasting influence for one reason or another. I have not listed these publications in any particular order.”


Way to God
Jim Elliff has a new site called “Way to God.” “Are you looking for the way to God? I’d like to help. On the site you will find answers to questions, clarifying articles, audio and the stories of people who have come to Christ.”


A Whole Lot of DAC
Hundreds of MP3s by D.A. Carson have been uploaded to the Gospel Coalition web site. Hundreds!


John Paulson’s Profits
This article at Porfolio shows just how much money at least one man has made from the economic downturn and raises some interesting ethical questions.


Christian Hope
Kirk Wellum offers a post on the beauty of Christian hope. “The Christian gospel is a message of hope. Hope for the otherwise hopeless. Hope based on what God has done, and is doing, and will yet do in Christ.”


Deal of the Day: The Christian Lover
Reformation Heritage Books is offering a 50% discount on this brand new book by Michael Haykin: The Christian Lover: The Sweetness of Love and Marriage in the Letters of Believers.

    Tiptoeing to the Edge of Cliffs

    Not too long ago, there was a trend in which people would see how close they could come to being hit by a train without actually being hit by a train. That’s about as stupid a game as I can imagine. Play stupid games, win stupid games, as the kids say. But researching sin when…
