While many men may be afraid to admit it or discuss it, annual surveys such as the Monitoring the Future report (scroll down to Figure 14) have found that about 70% of male high school seniors (wow!) have said that having a good marriage and family life is "extremely important." That's why I'm thankful for the team at Boundless.

R.C. Sproul – The Prince’s Poison Cup
Tonight I had the chance to read a pre-release copy of The Prince's Poison Cup (now available directly from Ligonier Ministries). In this wonderfully illustrated fifty-eight page children's book, a grandfather tells his granddaughter a story that mirrors man's fall in the Garden of Eden and Christ's redeeming work at Calvary.
