some thoughts

I’m becoming a fan of DA Carson, who I’ve read before but never really ‘clicked’ with. Also, I recently had a wonderful first experience with Michael Horton when I read God of Promise: An introduction to Covenant Theology with the Men’s reading group at the church. I was especially pleased to find them joining up […]
