Some sobering reflections about book endorsements: Your life and your books are like a vapor, here today and gone tomorrow.

A list of every book I read last year and some reasons you might want to read a few of them too.

In December, I had several guest posts published, including one today with The Gospel Coalition on the benefits and limits of fitness.

Another writer recently asked me a bunch of questions about writing, and I thought it might be helpful to share my answers here, including why Christian authors should view articles like driving.

For many years now, I’ve been reflecting privately on the parallels between the journey of Abraham and the journey of Christian writers. This is the first time I’ve published one of those reflections. It’s about the joy that comes from being called by God into something grand. Christian writing is not always fun; but sometimes it is.

Our church recently made a change to the time of prayer during our services, and we wrote some guidelines we hope will help our leaders pray in public.

Matt Smethurst summarized the late Tim Keller’s teachings on the Christian life into a book. I read it and loved it. Here’s an interview with Matt about writing the book, how it changed him, what he hopes readers take away, and whether Keller was a better writer or preacher.

An update about my first traditionally published book. May I be so bold as to ask you to share my excitement?

Just because you can 2x your speed, doesn’t mean you should.

I wrote guest posts for The Gospel Coalition and Gospel-Centered Discipleship. One is about the beauty of Christian faithfulness over the long haul, and the other is about the beauty of Christian love, especially when love is difficult.
