BOOK OF THE WEEK: Praying the Bible by Donald Whitney
It was an honor to endorse this book:
“Prayer and Scripture intake are both essential for spiritual devotion, like the left and right wings of a plane. Prayer is the Christ’s duty. It should also be the Christian’s delight. Praying the Bible will teach you to take in the joy of Scripture-led prayer.”
WEBSITE OF THE WEEK: You can find many helpful resources regarding the SCOTUS same-sex marriage ruling at Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission website.
