A La Carte (November 2)

monday

Logos users will want to check out November’s free and cheap books of the month. Because why wouldn’t you?

I didn’t find any Kindle deals for books in the Christian market, though if you didn’t stop by on the weekend, you can check those deals. But Amazon did release their general market monthly deals and they are worth looking through. (e.g. The Greater Journey by David McCullough; Leadership by Doris Kearns Goodwin.)

Appointed to This

“In one sense, it seems as though I have gone from February to November in a blink. Days, weeks, and months have blended together in a strange hodgepodge of viral updates and news scandals and political ads (which might be the worst of the three).

Well, she was important because she was herself a symbol of the great moral revolution and the great revolution in biblical interpretation and the interaction with feminism that emerged in the last half century.”

Flashback: The Most Terrifying Thing God Can Do

…in all the world I see nothing more terrifying than this: the prospect of God allowing people to experience the full impact and weight of their sinfulness. Nothing is more terrifying than God determining that he will no longer restrain the evil within them.

Beloved, there is a cure for every spiritual disease in the cross.

—Charles Spurgeon
