The ESV Study Bible Has Arrived!

After months of waiting it finally arrived in the mail—my new ESV Study Bible! Every Christian who is serious about studying the Bible (and that should be every Christian) needs to get one. It provides an incredible wealth of resources for putting the scripture accounts in their proper context, as well as many theological articles written by men such as Wayne Grudem, John Piper, and J. I. Packer.

But there is also a hidden gem with this study bible. Inside each purchased copy is a secret code that will give you lifetime free access to the online version. The online version has the same content as the paper version—but it is also searchable, you can insert your own study notes, and you can listen to an audiobook version of each chapter read by Max McLean. Brilliant!

Move it to the top of your Christmas list, or buy it for your friends and family.

UPDATE: The online audio has already been updated to include an audiobook read by David Cochran Heath, which I feel is clearer than the original Max McLean version.

Coming Soon from Mark Driscoll: Death by Love

I am very excited about Mark Driscoll and Gerry Breshears’ next book called “Death by Love” which is due to be published at the end of September. It promises to ground Jesus’ death on the cross, and the freedom that he won for us in the realities of sin-filled life.

As someone who loves Jesus and the Bible, I am excited by any work that shows how his violent death and victorious resurrection are not irrelevant, but a wonderful means of freedom for ordinary people.

Take a moment to watch the video above, and visit the official website to read the first chapter of the book for free.

UPDATE: There is an official Facebook page for the book which can be found here.
