Weekend A La Carte (June 3)

I’m so thankful to P&R for sponsoring the blog this week to tell you about their new printing of The Gospel of Jesus—a helpful resource for better understanding the gospels.

Today’s Kindle deals include at least a couple of especially interesting books.

Westminster Books is offering a steep discount on an excellent series.

Credo House has their “Seminary in Your Pocket” on sale for a short time.

God Is Eager to Forgive You

Flashback: The Space Between Courting and Hooking Up

Courtship and hooking up are two very different approaches for a relationship, but they share a common consequence: They put too much weight on too weak a relationship.

When death becomes the property of the believer it receives a new name and is called sleep.

    A Trusted and Helpful Guide To the Bible
