Don’t Waste Your Life (Chinese) (scroll down)
The Passion of Jesus Christ (Chinese)
For the following books, […]

Anyone who lives in California understands that earthquakes come with the territory. This is the price to pay for nice weather all year round, beautiful topography, and tremendous natural resources. And since I’ve been in the Bay Area (1999), I have probably felt about 10 earthquakes, but yesterday’s by far was definitely the […]

I just received this bio of John Newton in the mail yesterday and I haven’t been able to put it down. I’ve read half already and will probably try to finish the book by the end of this week. It is such a fascinating read of one of the most dynamic figures of […]

Huh?
There are some in the blogosphere who don’t fully agree with DGM’s policy of giving away everything for free. Now I don’t think it is a sin to charge, but I do think it CAN be a sin to charge, depending on the true heart motivations of the individuals involved. Of course, only […]

For the hair challenged among us, Carl Trueman has a very interesting article called “To Baldy Go.” Very few men would think of their baldness as a gift from the Lord (especially with all of the hair replacement options out there). CT writes:
Yet baldness is nonetheless a great gift from the Lord, in […]

For those of you who want a nice brief overview of Reformation history, this is a great little reader to pick up. Stephen Nichols is an engaging author who does a good job of summarizing broad swaths of history, providing snippets of information, and still capturing the lives and stories of the day. I had […]

Respectable Sins by Jerry Bridges is probably one of a few books I would recommend highly when it comes to the sinners’ struggles with sins. The other would be John Owen’s book Overcoming Temptation and Sin (it’s actually a compilation of a few of his works that Kelly Kapic and Justin Taylor edited). […]

Justin Taylor and others recently endorsed Mike Huckabee for President. Desiring God Blog (Abraham Piper) had to apologize because it seemed like they/he also endorsed Huckabee. It makes me wonder what the Lord thinks about American politics. For some (like James Dobson), politics is perhaps a necessary evil to fight for what […]
