There are no new Kindle deals today, but do run back through last week’s list since some will expire over the weekend.
I’m going to give my regular remind that I’ve got a Spanish site at http://es.challies.com. If that’s potentially of interest to someone you know, please pass them the information. Articles and videos are professionally translated and added several times a week.

Three Places God’s Feet Touched the Ground
“One of the most wonderful truths of Scripture is that God wants to be near to us. He isn’t a distant deity, unconcerned with the world’s affairs. God has actually chosen to step down from the heavenly heights and plant his feet here in our midst.” Amazing, isn’t it? This article shares three places God’s feet touched the ground.

That Which No Tragedy Can Take from Us
There are some good lines in this devotional look at Job. “When true tragedy strikes, the Christian leans not on what he does not know but on what he does know. Who, in times of profound suffering, has the mental energy, the philosophical fortitude, to consider the academic questions of the origin of evil? It is not that such questions are unimportant, nor that that there are no answers to those questions. But suffering is not the place to find merely theoretical answers. Those in pain will know that the trials they face are deeply practical.”
Self-Hatred and Sanctification
Taylor Cain shares openly. “There was a time in my life where I hated myself. I hated that I had to go through the pain of showing my blemished face in public. At times I felt alone in this battle against despising my appearance. I have battled this demon of mine for ten years. I hope what I’ve learned will give Christians who fight through similar things a glimmer of hope that God is using their blemishes to make them more like the unblemished One.”
