What I Learned in Narnia by Douglas Wilson

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

An excellent, short commentary on the various spiritual lessons from the Narnia series. Has all of Wilson’s best traits, practical and spiritual, with none of his worst, sarcasm. My eleven year old got it for Christmas and read it one day. Each chapter does not just tell you something, but challenges the way you live. If you know Narnia, then this book will be a delight.

Here is good unpacking of what love is by Paul Tripp.

Here are some items of note I found interesting on this Wednesday morning.

For the more scholarly minded among you here are a couple of short essays Peter Leithart did on imputation, election, and bombs.

An updated version of Dr. R.C. Sproul’s book on abortion has just come out. Dr. Sproul is lucid, chartiable, and above all biblical. This is a good book to put on your to read/purchase list.

If you are interested in the translation of the Scriptures, then visit the Bayly brothers’ blog as they continue to examine the new NIV translation, which I believe is set to come in 2011. Not to put too fine a point upon it, but they are not happy with changes being made.

There is a book containing fifty of Martin Luther’s sermons on sale at CBD.

Finally, if you are looking for some early Christmas presents, Nathan Clark George’s cds are a good choice.

Here is an interesting article called “Wasted Seed” by Ben Merkle showing how Tamar and Ruth are very similar to one another. A good example of showing how themes we see earlier in the Scriptures tend to show up later.
