MP3s of TGC’s Plenary Sessions

by

Audio from the ten plenary sessions at The Gospel Coalition’s 2009 National Conference is available here.

I benefited most from these five sessions:

Video for all the plenary sessions and audio from the workshops are coming soon. (TGC’s website has shut down at least twice in two days because it has exceeded its bandwidth limit.)

  • The ten plenary sessions (not the workshops) will be available as live webcasts.

Manhunt

by

Justin Taylor just posted on this book:

James L. Swanson, Manhunt: The 12-Day Chase for Lincoln’s Killer. New York: William Morrow, 2006. 448 pp. Available in the following formats: paperback, hardcover, Kindle, audio CD, and audio download.

Jenni and I loved listening to the nine-hour (abridged) audio book last month (HT to JT again for recommending it to me!). It was so fascinating that we ended up listening to the whole audio book in just two evenings!

Coming Soon: Logos 4.0

by

Bob Pritchett, founder and president/CEO of Logos Bible Software, just posted this in the newsgroups:

Logos 4.0…

…keeps what you love about Logos Bible Software

…gets rid of what annoys you in Logos Bible Software

…puts things where you’d expect them

…is still in development

…reflects an obsession on ease-of-use

…remembers things

…helps you share the fruit of your study with students and congregations

…has simpler menus

…comes with massive, hand-edited data sets

…favors direct manipulation over large settings panels

…is the iPhone of Bible software

…gives more screen space to content

…searches with the speed and ease of Google

…searches just your quality content (not the morass Google has to wade through)

…works well with multiple monitors

…makes smart guesses about what you are looking for

…looks very cool

…is under tight wrap until “the big moment.”

CrossWay Milwaukee

by

Yesterday my family visited CrossWay Community Church in Milwaukee for second time since our church planted it a little over a year ago. If you or people you know live near the high school building where they’re meeting, I’d commend this gospel-centered assembly to you.

The preaching pastor, Jason Dahlman, is a good friend. (The picture below is old; he and his wife now have three children!) Jason and I first met in Dr. Carson’s Advanced Greek Grammar class in spring 2007, and Jason is now finishing his PhD dissertation under Doug Sweeney at TEDS on Puritan preaching. Jason is unusually humble and gifted—a dynamic combination. He’s probably the finest young preacher I’ve ever heard. (Sermons are available here.)

They are still a young, small church (if I remember correctly, their assembly started off around 40 people, and about one year later they are running about 90-120). More information about them is available here, including a 4.5-minute video that they prepared last year.
