You Don’t Need a Bucket List – Randy Alcorn explains that because of the resurrection you do not need to have a bucket list.

Everything a Child Should Know About God – Westminster Books has a great sale on an excellent new book meant to teach the basics of theology to young kids. I read through it a while ago and am glad to recommend it.
