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.

    God Doesn’t Ask You To Let Him Off the Hook

    There are many ways that human beings can display our pride and arrogance toward God. There are many ways that even those of us who love him can display that we think we know better than he does. There are many ways we can behave with conceit, but perhaps never more so than when we…
