I was encouraged to read this first review of Eric’s Greatest Race. The book is back in stock on Amazon and still available at Westminster Books and elsewhere!
Today’s Kindle deals include some excellent titles by Christopher Ash and Alistair Begg. Be sure to also consider Cloud of Witnesses which is on sale for the first time.

She Forgot Our Names, but Not Rock of Ages
This article reminds me that music has incredible power. “My grandmom’s story taught me about the power of music for remembering and reproducing truth. The songs that Grandmom learned as a barefoot girl in a little mountain church stayed with her – for eight decades. They stayed with her when almost everything else was being forgotten.”
New Findings Challenge ‘Gender-Affirming Care’ for Children
Joe Carter explains some new findings that challenge “gender-affirming care” for children. “Christians will find that the report’s conclusions align with a biblical understanding of human sexuality and the body. Scripture teaches that God created human beings male and female and that each person is ‘fearfully and wonderfully made’ by God. Our sex is therefore an integral part of God’s good design, not an accident that can be changed at will.”

“Words matter. Specifically, how you define those words matter.” Indeed. And we need to be certain we do not allow others to define the words for us!
Common Myths About Eternal Rewards
Can we lose rewards in heaven that we previously accumulated in life? That’s the question John Piper takes on in the most recent Ask Pastor John. It’s a good question that requires some deep theology to answer well.
You Don’t Need AI. You Can Just Tell Your Kids Stories
Alan tells you why you ought to tell your kids stories (and not, as some are doing, have AI do it for you). I wasn’t ever much of a story-creator but I can’t tell you how many stories I read to my children in the evenings. These are some of my fondest family memories.
Flashback: One Woman in the Right Mightier than Four Hundred Men in the Wrong
“By her prowess and tact she has saved her husband, and saved her home, and put before all ages an illustrious specimen of what a wife can do if she be godly, and prudent, and self-sacrificing, and vigilant, and devoted to the interests of her husband.”
A little sin, like a little pebble in the shoe, will make a traveler to heaven walk very wearily.
—C.H. Spurgeon
