A La Carte (9/3)

Understanding the Times – The current edition of Tabletalk magazine has an interesting interview with Carl Trueman. I especially appreciated his take on the importance of church history and the real scandal of the Evangelical mind.

Discovery – Here’s a high-resolution 360 degree view of the flight deck of Space Shuttle Discovery. It’s amazingly rudimentary when you compare it to the Airbus A380.

Facebook and Privacy – Here are a few tricks Facebook uses to make money off you.

Spurgeon Manuscript – If you’ve ever wanted to own one of those Charles Spurgeon manuscript pages, here’s your chance; Rare Document Traders has them on sale over the Labor Day weekend.

    It is surprisingly difficult to find a list of Christian books that have been released in any given month—especially if you want that list to be filtered by books released through particular publishers.
