Interview with Justin Buzzard on “Date Your Wife”
Justin Buzzard's new book, Date Your Wife, is now available on Amazon, and will soon be shipping from WTS Books. The content is great. I post endorsements from Jim Daly (Focus on the Family), Paul David Tripp, and Mike Singletary (that's right, former NFL star) below. But first, Pastor Buzzard was kind enough to answer a few questions for us: 1. Tell us why men will want to read your book, Date Your Wife. Because Date Your Wife will change men and change their marriages for the better. Every man I know wants that. What this book asks of men is both easier and harder than what they're … [Read more...] about Interview with Justin Buzzard on “Date Your Wife”
Amazing Offer for Anyone Wanting to Say Something (and Be Heard)
This is a crazy great offer from one of the true geniuses of the publishing industry. I just purchased the book for less than $14 on Amazon, and got a free copy of the e-book (in both PDF and Kindle format), the audio book, Hyatt's two excellent, industry-standard books on how to write winning book proposals, AND access to video and audio lectures of Hyatt explaining concepts of how to build a platform. It's a crazy good deal, but it only lasts until May 25th. . … [Read more...] about Amazing Offer for Anyone Wanting to Say Something (and Be Heard)
Update on Plan to Replace John Piper as Pastor
In late March, John Piper and the elders of Bethlehem Baptist Church put forward the name of Jason Meyer as a candidate for Associate Pastor for Preaching and Vision and (in time) John Piper's successor. Last night, the congregation voted 784-8 to affirm Meyer. At some point in the future (possibly a year or two down the road), there will be a second congregational vote to establish Meyer as Pastor for Preaching and Vision, at which point John Piper would step down. More info in this Q&A by John Piper. … [Read more...] about Update on Plan to Replace John Piper as Pastor
Think Seriously Before Accepting Student Loans
A great open letter from Collin Hansen to next year's crop of college students on the dangers of student loans. An excerpt: I should warn you, however: Someone has to pay, and college isn't getting any cheaper. Your parents have probably pointed this out a time or two. (Go easy on them. The recession took a big bite out of their retirement accounts, and a year or two of private college tuition and board probably costs about what they paid for the house you grew up in.) Friends, guidance counselors, and admissions officers can surely point you to the various payment options. If you've studied … [Read more...] about Think Seriously Before Accepting Student Loans
Happy 50th Anniversary, Tyndale House Publishers
I'm very grateful to Tyndale House Publishers, for publishing Thriving at College (of course), but also for completing 50 years of publishing edifying Christian literature. I think of riveting fiction such as Son of Hamas, Randy Alcorn's excellent books including Heaven and Money, Possessions and Eternity, or R.C. Sproul's timeless classic The Holiness of God. But here are some facts you may not know about Tyndale House Publishers: 1. Tyndale House gives 10% of pretax income to charitable work. 2. Tyndale House gives all its remaining profit after taxes and expenses to the Tyndale … [Read more...] about Happy 50th Anniversary, Tyndale House Publishers
