A Whole New World

The secret is out. World Magazine has decided to add to their online presence by increasing the scope of their blog. Joe Carter, of Evangelical Outpost, has been asked to head-up this new venture.

I trust this opportunity will allow more good books to get into the hands of more Christians.

You can read Joe Carter’s introduction to the blog here. And of course you can see the blog itself at http://www.worldmagblog.com/blog/.
