Valley of Vision MUSIC!!!!

You might know that one of my favorite books of all time is the collection of puritan prayers entitled "The Valley of Vision." If you do not own a copy you should get one, now! (It's available in paperback AND leather bound editions.) In my pursuit of treasuring Christ and hating sin, this book has helped me as much as anything outside of Scripture.

Sovereign Grace Ministries has written songs based on some of the prayers in this book! You can click HERE to order the CD and to hear song samples, read lyrics, etc.

Great stuff!

Here's my favorite one (so far).

Click and Read!

If you are not reading the Together for the Gospel blog, you should be!

We all know that we are going to die some day. At Harry Treude's funeral on Friday I talked about how the realities of cancer and death should cause us all to think deeply about our deaths and whether we are prepared for eternity.
Seth Griep told me about a blog a few days ago that I think we should all be reading...
Al Groves is a professor at Westminster Theological Seminary in Philadelphia and found out earlier this year that he is dying from Melanoma. He and his family are keeping journal of his health and their thoughts and emotions during this difficult time.
