Today’s Kindle deals include an excellent book by Jerry Bridges, a book for people struggling with sin, and a systematic theology.

But a bit of self-examination in humility is also in order.” Kevin Schaal goes on to offer some good wisdom on parenting.

Flashback: I Know It Broke Her Heart
…we as Christians ought to pursue every avenue of unity for the sake of our Father—for the sake of his joy, the obedience to his demands, and the accomplishing of his purposes.
