The Secret Things of the Lord – “What is the will of God for my life? In this excerpt from his Foundations teaching series, R.C. Sproul distinguishes between the decretive and the preceptive wills of God.” These are important distinctions.

Books for Grads – Westminster Books has some excellent books for grads on sale.
