A Book for the Church

 
 
 

For most pastors, shepherding a local church is far more than their day job. The local church signifies the place a pastor’s heart loves to be, even though leading a church often involves more than a little suffering. Shepherd & Sheep, I try to give color and texture to one pastor’s love for the church.

The twenty-five essays in this book first appeared in places such as Christianity Today, The Gospel Coalition, 9Marks, For The Church, Gospel-Centered Discipleship, and Desiring God.

Available at Amazon.

Is Blogging Dead, iphone.png
 

The reports of the death of blogs have been greatly exaggerated.

I asked a few dozen Christian bloggers to answer whether they think blogs are dead, bloggers such as Trevin Wax, Jen Oshman, and Alisa Childers. You’ll be encouraged by their answers.

Blogging may have changed, but it’s certainly not dead.
