Today’s Kindle deals include two classics that will be at home in any Christian’s library.
Man in the Middle
“David Dockery, president of Trinity International University, knows the feeling of exhaustion. His wife, Lanese, gave birth to their three boys in three years.

Brad Hambrick offers counsel on what to do and say when/if your child says those words.

—J.C. Ryle
