Today’s Kindle deals include a few books that are very different from one another, yet each good in its own way.

10 Things You Should Know about Biblical Inerrancy
Sam Storms carries on his rather epic series of 10 things. “What do we mean when we affirm the inerrancy of the Bible? The importance of that question has not diminished in the least. It is as crucial today as it was 100 years ago. So let’s look at ten things that will help us understand what we mean (and don’t mean) when we speak of an inerrant Bible.”
The Lonely Future of Amazon Go
In some ways Amazon Go is the perfect shopping experience for this generation. “Amazon has recognized our loneliness and responded in a modern and perhaps especially American way: by creating the lonely person’s perfect consumer experience.”

The idol of busyness is one Christians are particularly bent toward worshipping and busyness can also become the shield we use to protect ourselves from adding unwanted appointments to our calendars.

Why Do Radio Stations Begin With ‘K’ or ‘W’?
“Radio might not be quite the media force it once was, but there are still thousands of stations around the country, and the call letters for almost every one of them begin with either ‘K’ or ‘W.’ Why?” Because the government said so, but there’s a bit more to the story.
Flashback: Why I Didn’t Sing When I Visited Your Church
If our desire for excellence puts the music out of reach for the congregation, perhaps we’re pursuing a wrong definition of excellence.
Personal vanity still lies at the root of most dissensions in every local church today.
