Musings of a Former Fundamentalist (IFB) Renewed by Reformed Theology
Westminster Bookstore has a special deal on the DVD documentary: KJB: The King James Bible – The Book that Changed the World. This DVD is a first-rate and tells the story of the making of the King James Bible well.
I have reviewed the DVD in full here.
At 40% off the regular retail price, this may be the time to pick up this DVD. You can also compare the price at ChristianBook.com and Amazon.com.

I highly recommend the Reformed Expository Commentary Series from P & R Publishing. The commentaries are written by superb pastor-teachers from a Reformed standpoint. They deal with the exegetical questions but make sure to apply the text pastorally. And the series explicitly aims to be Christ-centered in its approach.
You can read my detailed review of Daniel Doriani’s commentary on James here. After reading that commentary, I have wanted to get the whole series. With this new sale at Westminster Bookstore, just announced, I was able to pick up the last volumes I don’t already have.
Here’s the scoop: if you purchase three or more titles, you can get a 50% discount. If you purchase the set, it’s 52%. Individual volumes are discounted 45%. Plus, if you purchase a few volumes you can qualify for the $1 shipping with UPS. On my order, it was only 1 buck total for shipping — you can’t beat that.
Check out the sample pages from the latest volume in the series, 1 Kings by Philip Graham Ryken.

Tomorrow is the 38th anniversary of Roe v. Wade. In preparation for the celebration of life, Reformation Trust Publishing has published an updated edition of R.C. Sproul’s classic book Abortion: A Rational Look at an Emotional Issue. Westminster bookstore has a sale running for the next 6 days, where you can get the book for 45% off — only $8.25.
Here’s some more info about that book, and then a video clip of R.C. Sproul discussing the book with his son R.C. Sproul Jr. Over the last 20 years, since the book was first published a lot has changed, and R.C. Sproul Sr. gives his thoughts about those changes. At the end of the video clip, R.C. Sproul Sr. concludes with this powerful statement: “If I know anything at all about God, I know that He hates abortion.”

I just finished reading a provocative little book, Republocrat: Confessions of a Liberal Conservative by Carl Trueman (P & R Publishing). I was captivated by Trueman’s writing style and enthralled by his message. I really think this book deserves a widespread hearing.
A fuller review will be forthcoming, but for now, I’d like to offer you the book’s trailer, and encourage you to take advantage of a fantastic sale at Westminster Bookstore. Pick up a copy for only $4.99 (50% off) now through Thursday Oct. 7. This book is worth grappling with and thinking through no matter what side of the political divide you currently find yourself at.
P&R has some additional audio/visual content about this book here. At that link, be sure to check out a brief video clip of Carl Trueman discussing his new book, and also take note of the 50 minute video conversation from Reformed Forums with Dr. Trueman about the book.
