Keith Mathison at the Ligonier blog is posting his top five commentary recommendations on a variety of books of the Bible.

    I regret to inform you, dear reader, that heaven tourism is back. The genre possibly never went away entirely, but it did at least disappear from the bestseller lists for several years. Sadly, it has returned in Gabe Poirot’s 18 Days in Heaven.
