A La Carte (May 4)

Today’s Kindle deals include just one little reference work, but it’s one I turn to all the time.

Westminster Books has a deal on an excellent 5-part set on the 5 solas.

It Is Not Character Assassination

Denny Burk: “There are many voices within the North American evangelical movement that are turning away from what the church has always believed and confessed. Hatmaker is now among them.
