I’m grateful to The Good Book Company for sponsoring the blog this week. They want you to know about the new book Both/And Ministry which helps those involved in ministry to live and serve like Jesus.
Today’s Kindle deals include some titles worth looking at. And, of course, I’ll update with anything new by around 6:30 AM EST.

Parents Can’t Fight Porn Alone
“For conservatives, the case might seem a straightforward one, and indeed it is heartening to see how overwhelming (and often bipartisan) the legislative majorities in favor of these laws have been.

The Gettys just released a new song that puts a fresh spin on an old song.

Lessons From Caring for a Disabled Child
Jamie MacGregor gives a helpful glimpse of what it can be like for families who are caring for a profoundly disabled child.
Flashback: Don’t Be Reckless With What Others Count Precious
…it falls to us to tend to names carefully, to respect what others hold most dear. We might justify carelessness with another man’s trifles and trinkets, but most certainly not with his good name.
The price of diluting God’s wrath is diminishing God’s holiness.
—D.A. Carson
