Anyone interested in Francis Schaeffer won’t want to miss Colin Duriez’s Francis Schaeffer: An Authentic Life. For a preview, you can check out the interview Crossway did with Duriez in the “Book Report.” Nor will you want to miss Mark Dever’s interview with Os Guinness, where Guinness talks about Schaeffer and his impact. Fascinating stuff.

My colleague at SBTS, Charles Halton, has come up with an intrepid and intriguing way to entice people, even non-scholars, to engage his scholarly work. He is producing a series of videos that discuss his writing projects. The first is up. Check it out:
Today my sweet Jill and I celebrate our tenth anniversary. These have undoubtedly been the best ten years of my life. Folded up in my wallet, I carry around with me the little piece of paper on which my dear friend Denny Burk had written out the prayer he prayed for us during our wedding. …
This article: “What If the Muslims Won?” is a must read. I smell a great sermon illustration in that shield wall. HT: Challies
An insightful post on what education is and what schools do from Dr. Mohler: Schools are never just about education. For that matter, education is never just about education. The school as an institution is founded and supported as a means to some end. In ancient Israel, education was to produce a faithful member of …
