John Piper’s new book Ask Pastor John proved especially popular and quickly sold out. But more have been printed and for the next day or two, Westminster Books has it on sale.
You’ll find a few new books to consider over on the Kindle deals page.

Writing for TGC, Richard Osborne III explains how the legal system enabled—and will eventually curtail—the transgender movement.
We Are All Late Bloomers
“You want to grow. You want to be freed from a besetting struggle. You want something good, something God-honoring, but the struggle is always with you, no matter how hard you have tried to jettison it from your life—through prayer, through repentance, through all manner of very sincere efforts. Discouragement sets in. Shame creeps in. Despair may soon follow.”
