Love and Hate in a Foreign Country – There are some good lines in Carl Trueman’s latest article as he focuses on the RFRA protests of last week.

Hassles and Joys – “Great risks, long journeys, government sabotage, official informants, chaotic crowds, packed halls, and fervent prayers: Welcome to a Christian training conference in Hong Kong.”

The Dead End of Sexual Sin – Rosaria Butterfield: “Unbelievers don’t ‘struggle’ with same-sex attraction. I didn’t. My love for women came with nary a struggle at all.”

—C.H. Spurgeon

    New and Notable Christian Books for April 2024

    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.
