A La Carte Collection cover image

NEXT – This year’s NEXT conference just wrapped up and all of the sessions are now available for download. They include sessions by Josh Harris, Kevin DeYoung, Mark Dever, D.A. Carson and others.

Book Deal – Reformation Heritage Books has packaged four books (three of them by Joel Beeke) for only $10.
