Next Sunday, June 4, I’ll be preaching at Breccia di Roma in Rome (Lord willing!). It would be a joy to meet you there if Rome is home to you. Their weekly worship service begins at 5:30 PM.
Today’s Kindle deals include an interesting biography and a classic.
Meanwhile, children’s books are on sale at Westminster Books. You can’t go wrong with either of the ones they’re offering.
70 Prompts for Praising God
This is gold. Is there an easy way to get this list into PrayerMate?
The Disappearing Computer
Walt Mossberg has been writing about technology since forever. In his final column he tells what he sees coming in the near future. What a strange world it is…
Broken Shadows
This is a sweet and encouraging article about fathers and fatherhood. “When I was a kid, I’d climb in my dad’s lap and wrestle with him. I remember his arms, tan and strong and capable. I remember camping trips and my first bird hunt. I remember his lengthy sermonettes when my sister and I would do something stupid—which was pretty often. I remember the good things.

The World’s Bread Clips
Bread clips: “They’re those flat pieces of semi-hard plastic formed into a sort of barbed U-shape—you know the ones. They can be found keeping bread bags all over the world closed and safe from spoilage, smartly designed to be used and reused. They’re all around us, constantly providing an amazing service, and yet still, they’re taken for granted. And it turns out they’re almost exclusively all produced by a single, family-owned company.”
Flashback: Why I am Not Roman Catholic
I am not Roman Catholic because through my own examinations I came to see that she denies the gospel of free grace, that she claims authority that is not her own, and that she promotes worship that detracts from the worship we all owe exclusively to our God.
