A La Carte (4/1)

A La Carte Collection cover image

The Kindle version of The Next Story has fallen to $5.99. So get it while the getting is good. Just over a week from now the price will climb back to $9.99. And I’m pretty sure it’s not going to go any lower than $5.99.

2011 NatCon Messages – The messages from Ligonier’s recent National Conference are now available to watch online (or in some cases to download).

$5 Friday – Speaking of Ligonier, they’ve got a couple of excellent deals in today’s edition of $5 Friday.

The History of Printing – An interesting infographic.

The Dump-Truck of Merit – I appreciated this post: “There is little doubt that we have all experienced the following circumstance and reaction.

Good Friday in Toronto – My church will be joining with 4 others on Good Friday. Here are details if you happen to be in Toronto at the time.

The Little Stuff – “Warming up your day by knocking off a bunch of quick, easy tasks is tempting, but it can provide you with a false sense of accomplishment. The danger in this approach is that the bulk of your energy gets depleted over a bunch of insignificant tasks.”

Failure of Moral Effort – Z shares a story that Keller borrows and updates from Charles Spurgeon. Did you get all that? Just read it.

The Three R’s – Bob Kauflin explaines why we sing.

Smartest – This is good:

Smartest

Though Christ died to take away the curse from us, yet not to take away the cross from us.
