This week’s deal at Westminster Books is Kevin DeYoung’s Daily Doctrine, a book I’m sure you’ll benefit from. I’ve been reading it with Aileen at one chapter per day after dinner and enjoying it.
As usual, you’ll find a variety of Kindle deals to browse through.

Flashback: A Freak of Nature (and Nurture)
They work to dwarf themselves, to resist the impulse to grow their knowledge and stretch their faith. They restrain the Spirit who would so readily help them to grow. They give themselves a bonsai faith.
The love of Jesus has never waned. He has promised that he will be with you in your misery, and your tested faith will shine gloriously when you see him face-to-face.
