RELEASED: The Next Story: Life and Faith after the Digital Explosion
I’ve been waiting for the release of this book, and today is the big day. I received an early copy from the publisher, and I can confidently say that it’s worth a good read. As a blogger, I see the great potential technology has to spread the good news of Jesus Christ; however, I also understand that there are dangers and idols closely associated with the digital world. In this book, Tim Challies tackles these both, providing a “technology theology” of sorts, exercising careful, biblical discernment on the issues throughout. I heartily recommend it.
KJV@400: Celebrating the 400th anniversary of the (Authorized) King James Version of the Bible

It’s important to note that some wrongly believe that the Authorized King James Version is the only Bible translation that holds accuracy and should be read today. On the other hand, not many Bible readers of our time realize the cultural impact that the KJV has had throughout the centuries. This conference celebrates its heritage and considers “what it means to carry on the legacy of accurate English translations for the 21st century.”
