One of the great blessings of the blog-world is that it helps us find like-minded people.
I am delighted to announce the new blog of Pastor Eric Redmond, Senior Pastor of Hillcrest Baptist Church in Temple Hills, MD. 
Thabiti has interviewed Eric here, and you can check out Eric’s blog here.
May the Lord use A Man From Issachar and the people who will connect with him and Hillcrest Baptist through it to spread revival and reformation in our day!

I’ve only read the preface so far, but this new book from B&H looks exciting.
The preface opens with a parable, of sorts, about someone taking a class on Mark Twain’s Tom Sawyer. Instead of studying the whole story, individual episodes and themes from the book are focused on and analyzed. The student benefits greatly from the class’s attention to these selected episodes and themes, but never bothers to read the whole story.
The point, of course, is that this is the way that the Bible has been taught for a long time–without reference to the meta-narrative. So Preben Vang and Terry Carter have given us Telling God’s Story: The Biblical Narrative from Beginning to End.
The story related in the preface includes an account of the first two questions on the final exam: “Retell the story of Tom Sawyer in your own words from beginning to end,” and “What is the purpose of the story?”
If you can’t retell the story of the Bible in your own words from beginning to end, or if you’re not sure of its purpose, this book is for you.

The Reformed Pastor (Unabridged)
Author: Richard Baxter
In his introduction, “Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.” This charge from Acts 20:28 only is the beginning of a solemn and overarching task to be personally involved and disciple all of your congregants. Richard Baxter�s plea for shepherding his flock continues with a charge to pastors to verify their own spiritual walk and then walks them through various disciplines, strategies and goals to guide and instruct their congregation.
