I have been blogging at Challies.com on a daily basis for over 17 years now. That long commitment has allowed me to write thousands of articles and hundreds of book reviews while also sending millions of visitors to other sites through the daily A La Carte feature. Of course I’ve also written a number of books and filmed quite a number of videos, though through it all the blog has remained the “main thing.” Over the past few years much of …

Today I’m thrilled to announce A Visual Theology Guide to the Bible: Seeing and Knowing God’s Word. This new book will be releasing at the end of March, and is now available for pre-order. This is the second Visual Theology book I’ve co-authored with Josh Byers, and in this one we have prepared an introduction to the Bible that combines graphics and text to teach the nature and contents of God’s Word in a fresh and interesting way. It is …

I have been blogging at Challies.com on a daily basis for over 15 years. In that time I have written thousands of articles, reviewed hundreds of books, prepared a collection of graphics and infographics, recorded a whole collection of videos and podcasts, and published quite a few books. All the while I have attempted to keep my focus on issues that are of particular interest to Christians. In the last year, visitors to the site read nearly 20 million articles., while millions …

As so many readers of this site settle into your Thanksgiving weekends (and the holiday season that follows it), I want to make you aware of a new book that may be of interest to you–my newest book, as it happens. Run to Win: The Lifelong Pursuits of a Godly Man began on this site with a short series of articles that explored issues particularly relevant to Christian men. The response was significant enough that I decided to edit, improve, …

Through the years I’ve been asked a number of times if I’d consider releasing the content of this blog in audio format. I’ve thought about it often, but have never quite been able to make the pieces come together. That was the case, at least, until recently. I think I’ve now got a structure in place that can actually work. So today I present the Challies Daily Podcast through which you’ll be able to listen to the content of this …

Today I am pleased to announce the release of a new book titled Devoted: Great Men and Their Godly Moms. Those who have been reading this site for a while will remember a series of blog articles I wrote after spotting a trend in the lives of Christian men–many of them count their mother as their primary spiritual influence. These articles formed the basis for the book and since then they have been edited, improved, and expanded. Most importantly, I …

Bringing you this site is my full-time occupation. I love what I do and am thrilled to have the opportunity to do it. I seldom speak about finances, but did want to raise the subject today. My primary source of income is the sponsored posts that I share almost every Monday (so please read them!). However, as you may have noticed, there have been a couple of recent weeks for which I was not able to book one of those …

This year I am excited to be able to offer a summer internship program through Challies.com. This program is available to high school students from around the world.

The internship will require a commitment of 20 hours per week and will extend from July …
