A La Carte (May 6)

This one isn’t on sale, but how did I not know that David McCullough has a new book out? And on the Wright Brothers? That just made my day.

Joy Beyond the Sorrow – Indelible Grace is celebrating a successful Kickstarter for a new album by giving away their last album (which is one of my favorites). While you are able to leave them a tip, they are genuinely glad for you to have it for free.

Stock Up on Minibooks – Once a year Westminster Books does a big sale on the excellent minibook series from New Growth Press. Stock up and give them away!

Young Suffering Club – Here’s a new effort from Jay and Katherine Wolf. You can learn about it at the link. To learn their story (written or by video) click here.

The Forgotten God – There is a new edition of Credo magazine that may interest you. It is free to read online and free to download.

Spitfire P9374 – Here’s the remarkable story of the finding and restoration of one of the iconic World War 2 fighter planes. You can even buy it if you’ve got £2,500,000 burning a hole in your pocket. (While on the subject of World War 2, you may enjoy these photos of Berlin then and now.)

The Gospel in Mexico – You’ll enjoy reading this interview with Victor Cruz as he tells about the challenges to preaching the gospel in Mexico. I especially appreciated this: “Maybe the greatest misunderstanding is that there is only one Mexico.”

When the voice of Christ speaks through the Word, then you will arise, and leave all, and follow Him.

    Why We Ask So Little of God

    Most Christians expect little from God, ask little, and therefore receive little, and are content with little. Though the Bible calls us to pray and though it promises that “the prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working,” we can still have very modest expectations of what God will accomplish through…

At that time Caleb Morell was working as Pastor Mark Dever’s personal assistant. Dever tasked him with finding out how the church had responded to the Spanish flu epidemic a…
