Bookstore blowout

3 days ago we learn that the christian bookstore in our city was closing down and offering 40-60% off their shelvess. Guess what we did as a family? We all took a trip there. Dangerous proposition giving our family love for books. That bookstore was not one of our favorites given their rather liberal selection (good, deep, and theologically sound books are overrated these days and rare!), and on top of that, their rather high prices (I prefer to shop at CBD even if it means paying shipping fees, it still comes cheaper for us). Nonetheless, who passes out on such a sales, you never know what you can stumble upon. We did manage to find some, especially for the kids.
Here is what we got:

For me:
Creating an Intimate Marriage by Jim Burns (started already and loving it!)
Communication Key to your Marriage by Norman Wright
How to talk so kids can learn by Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish
The culture-wise family by Ted baehr and Pat Boone

Reformation Day Giveaway

We are approaching October 31, which is an important date for all protestants. This date commemorates Martin Luther’s nailing of his ninety-five theses to a church door on October 31, 1517 in Wittenburg, Germany, which in turn provoked a debate that resulted in what we now call the Protestant Reformation. As the “Father of the Reformation”, Martin Luther is a vital figure in Church History. His sacrifice and willingness to wage battle against the spiritual, religious, and political powers of his medieval world allowed Christians throughout time to embrace the following truths: salvation by grace alone , through faith alone, and in Christ alone, along with the supremacy of Scripture, referred to as Scripture alone, and all of it for God's Glory Alone. These being commonly called the Five Solas of the Reformation. Danika Cooley, author and creator of the Bible curriculum Bible Road Trip , has recently written a book for young people recounting Luther's sto...
