The Next Story – I believe this is the last day you can order The Next Story ebook at the heavily discounted price. So don’t dawdle.

Victory in Disgrace – This is a powerful testimony to God’s healing grace.

Infographics – A small collection: Languages that are tough to learn for English-speakers; cohabitation nation; 50 years in space.

—D.A. Carson
