		<description><![CDATA[It is no new idea to suggest a “top ten” list of Christian books, which, when read carefully, will ground a new believer in the basics of what it means to be a part of the historic, orthodox Christian faith. I&#8217;ve seen several such lists in the past, and, as the beginning of a new [...]]]></description>

Soon, the fresh-harvested fields will snuggle up beneath a blanket of white for a long, deep slumber, and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the modern Evangelical world of incessant novelties and pastoral pop-stardom, how can a church discern between a glitzy, charismatic, flash-in-the-pan pulpiteer and a faithful, humble, minister of the gospel? The question is perhaps more difficult than most Christians appreciate – and answering it correctly can have immense consequences for the health of a church. [...]]]></description>
