I’ve read a lot of books in my day. Some were awful, others were great. Some I would recommend reading, others I would recommend avoiding. Some were packed full of Godly wisdom, others jammed with human folly. Right now, I’m enjoying a book that is filled with a great combination of the wisdom in [...]
The Race
A Transformed Heart

Despite his popularity, Reflections on the Psalms (Harcourt, Inc., 1986) was a [...]
