MP3s of TGC’s Plenary Sessions
Audio from the ten plenary sessions at The Gospel Coalition’s 2009 National Conference is available here.
I benefited most from these five sessions:
- Session 1: Tim Keller: “The Grand Demythologizer: The Gospel and Idolatry” (Acts 19:21-41) [See notes.]
- Session 2: John Piper, “Feed the Flame of God’s Gift: Unashamed Courage in the Gospel” (2 Timothy 1:1-12) [See Piper’s manuscript.]
- Session 8: Panel Discussion: Tim Keller, John Piper, Ligon Duncan and Crawford Loritts (chair: Stephen Um)
- Session 9: Ligon Duncan, “Finishing Well” (2 Timothy 4:6-22)
- Session 10: Don Carson, “That By All Means I Might Win Some’: Faithfulness and Flexibility in Gospel Proclamation” (1 Corinthians 9:19-23)
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 Gospel Coalition’s 2009 National Conference
On Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday this week, over 3,000 Christian servants will gather in Chicago for The Gospel Coalition’s 2009 National Conference.
- The 36-page program that those attending will receive when they register is available as a PDF.
- The ten plenary sessions (not the workshops) will be available as live webcasts.
- “Audio and video for each session will be made available online, free of charge, within one day of each session ending. Visit www.TheGospelCoalition.org to download” (from the inside front cover of the conference program).
Manhunt
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
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.”

In the Zone
Good word from Matt Perman: “What’s at Stake with Multitasking?”
In short:
So what happens if you multitask? You will never get into the zone. And if you never get into the zone, you will miss out on the best and most productive experience in work.
