There are going to be lots of Kindle deals today and through the weekend. So your best bet will be to check the Kindle Deals for Christians page at least once each day through to Monday (which is, of course, Cyber Monday).

Donald Trump and the Great Projection

This is a fascinating article: “The dream of a Clinton presidency and liberal Supreme Court has turned into a nightmare. The hope that America might become one big college campus where dissenters could be shouted down with the connivance of the administration has been inverted. The weapons liberals sharpened now look likely to be turned upon the left.”

The Last Text
