Jesus: The Only Way to God — free audiobook

John Piper’s book “Jesus: The Only Way to God — Must You Hear the Gospel to be Saved?” is especially relevant given the publicity surrounding Rob Bell’s latest publication.

The people at Christian Audio are giving away an audiobook version through their website for the next week (ends March 31 2011). (h/t Justin Taylor.)

NSW Votes

The NSW State elections are just days away.

Rich detail in life of college founder

Archbishop of Sydney Peter Jensen has written to commend Peter Bolt’s  book, “A Portrait in his Actions: Thomas Moore of Liverpool 1762-1840. Part 1”.

“[Peter Bolt] has done more than produce an ecclesiastical biography. He has set Moore into the context of early Sydney (and its world) and contributed significantly to our knowledge of what occurred in this town in its earliest days. He has uncovered sources hitherto unknown or unused. He has begun to explain how it is that one as humble as Moore in background and education could make provision for the founding of what amounted to Australia’s first tertiary educational institution.”

Ask Phillip

“Ask Phillip includes short and pithy answers from Phillip Jensen to all your questions about Christianity.” – a terrific resource from reasonforhope.tv.

Several of these videos are featured at phillipjensen.com, including “Is A Minister A Priest?”

Since the videos are hosted at Vimeo, they could be embedded on church websites or downloaded for use as discussion-starters in small groups.

Excited all over again by the Reformation

Mark Thompson:

“This is a book to share with the family as you encourage them to look at the Christian family album and rejoice in those who have proclaimed and defended the gospel before us, often at great cost. In an age when the Reformation is sidelined by some in the interests of Christian reunification, this is a must read. …

I cannot recommend the book highly enough. Every Christian home should have a copy.”

– high praise indeed for Andrew Atherstone’s just-published book, The Reformation: Faith and Flames. Read why here.

(From Moore Books, locally, or further afield.)

Expositions for Expositors — John Woodhouse on 1 Timothy

Moore College Principal Dr John Woodhouse has been preaching on 1 Timothy in the College chapel.
