Tim Challies’ New Book: The Discipline of Spiritual Discernment
Posted by: | CommentsTim Challies has a new book titled The Discipline of Spiritual Discernment coming out, and it comes with recommendations from some heavy-hitters, including one of my former professors Dr. Donald Whitney. Wow.
Here’s a description from his site:
“Spiritual discernment is good for more than just making monumental decisions according to God’s will. It is an essential, day-to-day activity that allows thoughtful Christians to separate the truth of God from error and to distinguish right from wrong in all kinds of settings and situations. It is also a skill—something that any person can develop and improve, especially with the guidance in this book.”
Discerning Reader: One Rockin Christian Books Site
Posted by: | CommentsSeveral years ago, I logged onto an awesome Christian book site called Discerning Reader. I loved it and bought some books from the site. Great prices, even better books.
Then something happened … the service just started to fade.
Then … Tim Challies bought it and started to pump new life into the site.
Anyway, after a year of fresh air on the site, he’s now looking at the future of Discerning Reader and wants your input. Personally, I love his ideas and fully support his need to have an income from the site (as well as to not be a distraction to him and his web biz).
Go check out Discerning Reader … and leave Tim an encouraging comment while you’re at it.

2. “Writing is like buying a lotto ticket. The odds are low, but there’s always a chance!”
3. “There is a difference between driving and hiking to the top of the mountain.”
