May the Lord be with you and bless you today, my friends. Westminster Books has a deal this week on an excellent new book about Psalm 23. They’ve got another batch of good books discounted as well. Meanwhile, one of my favorite J.I. Packer books is on sale today in the Kindle edition. The Mission…
Astute readers would have noticed that I posted today’s A La Carte yesterday which means, I suppose, that I’m posting yesterday’s today. How confusing… Today’s Kindle deals include some classic novels and a number of other books. (Yesterday on the blog: If God Utters Any Complaint At All) 5 Ways the World Would Be Worse…
This week the blog is sponsored by The Missionary Conference (October 2024, Jacksonville, FL). Plan to attend it to hear from John Piper, Sinclair Ferguson, Kevin DeYoung, Conrad Mbewe, and many others. There are many, many Christian conferences, all with varying values. Why another conference? And why put missions front and center? Here are four…
A father and his child walked together by the banks of the Yangtze River. They paused often to gaze at it in wonder. In the distance, they could hear the roar of a waterfall and they could see great clouds of mist rising far into the air. Soon they came to the edge of the…

(Yesterday on the blog: A Prayer for My Parent Heart) Start Giving Before You Inherit “Millennials may inherit over $68 trillion from previous generations by 2030. According to Newsweek, some experts believe this ‘could be the largest transfer of wealth in the history of humankind.’ What will…
It can, at times, be difficult to know what and how to pray for our children and what and how to pray for ourselves as their parents. This is true when they are young but, in my experience, becomes even more prominent as they grow older. This is why it is helpful to have books…
I’m very grateful to the Reformed Free Publishing Association who sponsored the blog this week so they could let you know about their new picture book The Ten Commandments for Children–a book that teaches kids to love God from the heart.

We make a lot of all the distractions that come with life in the modern, always-on, electronic world. And certainly it can be hard to have minds that remain focused for any significant stretch of time before the next beep, the next buzz, the next little burst of dopamine. Yet we do not need to…
I’ve got a couple of book deals to mention today. First, Westminster Books is offering a discount on the excellent Ask the Christian Counselor series of short books.

(Yesterday on the blog: How Joni Eareckson Tada Blessed Me (Forty Years Ago)) The Joy of Knowledge Have you ever noticed that greater knowledge is often the key that unlocks greater enjoyment? This…
Joni Eareckson Tada has had a long and faithful ministry. I expect you are familiar with the basic outline of her story—how in 1967, when she was just 17 years old, she was involved in a diving accident that left her paralyzed. In the initial stages of her recovery she stewed in sorrow and self-pity…
This week Westminster Books has a deal on a new book titled You Are Still a Mother that will be of comfort to many, I’m sure. They have a number of related titles on sale, including my own Seasons of Sorrow. There are a few good Kindle deals today as well. Psalms for Men Who…

This week the blog is sponsored by Reformed Free Publishing Association. This post is about their brand new picture book, The Ten Commandments for Children, written by Prof. Ron Cammenga and illustrated by Ana Sebastián. Jesus Christ is glorified when we obey Him. That is what Jesus meant when he told his disciples, “If you…
The sky was still dark as I left the house this morning. When I went overseas just three weeks ago the sun had already risen by this time and I was walking in dawn’s early light. But summer has given way to fall and the nights have quickly grown longer. I press “play” in my…
Good morning. Grace and peace to you today. There is quite a good-sized collection of Kindle deals to begin the week. (Yesterday on the blog: When the Hands Must Loose That Now So Fondly Clasp) The Transforming Power of Hopeful Love in Marriage Here’s a good article about love and marriage—or love in marriage, I…
I spend a surprising amount of time reading through old hymnals and collections of poetry—rather a strange hobby, I suppose. There is a lot that’s familiar and a lot that’s terrible. Every now and again, though, I come across a poem that is new to me and that I find especially enjoyable. That was the…
I’d like to express my gratitude to The Good Book Company for sponsoring the blog this week to tell you about Alistair Begg’s new book The Christian Manifesto (which I earlier reviewed here).
