Jun 19, 2013
I am doing some guided reading for a couple of students at Cornerstone this summer. This is the list and accompanying rationale: Martyn Lloyd Jones, Preaching and Preachers . A book that is both inspirational and flawed. Any volume which uses the term 'abomination' has to be worth reading in an era...
