pickAMAZING biography of covering the first 40 years of the life of this Welsh physician turned preacher. I lost track of how many times I was block highlighting paragraphs and making notes in the cover of the book. There's a lot of content here that is applicable today for the individual and the church at large. Lots of the issues the church dealt with 80 years ago in the UK are being experienced by the American church in recent times. Great book!
A good beer and a good book makes for a great afternoon. “Santa's Cookies” Imperial Oatmeal Stout (Champion Brewing of Charlottesville, VA) is a nice treat for a frigid day such as this. I'm finding great encouragement and a troves of wisdom in Iain Murray's biography covering the first 40 years of the life of Martyn Lloyd-Jones. Glad I bought this one as recommended by Paul Washer.

I smiled reading this quote from Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones on the subject of debate.
While engaged in a vigorous debate with a friend, I've been known to be misunderstood to be at odds with my debate partner in an unfriendly manner, when the fact is that we're both perfectly at peace in our relationship to one another.
