John Calvin: Selections from His Writings (Harper Collins Spiritual Classics, edited by Emilie Griffin) 2. Jaroslav Pelikan’s Whose Bible Is […]

Nothing New
I will be gone for more than a week – duty calls! The difficult thing is deciding what books to take with me. I’m thinking of either Karl Barth’ Church Dogmatics (vol. 1) or John Owen’s Communion with God – and of course a copy of the Labor Code of the Philippines! Anyway, here’s something […]

The two books by John Piper (one of which he co-authored with Justin Taylor) I ordered from Philippine Christian Book Store (PCBS) have just arrived and I just feel so blessed. John Piper has been such a great blessing to me personally and I wish more people here in the Philippines knew about him and […]
