Recommended Resources
Top Pick: The Whole Christ – Sinclair Ferguson
Other new resources released in 2017 that I would recommend are, in no particular order:
Luther: The Life and Legacy of the German Reformer. See my review of this excellent new documentary.
Dispatches from the Front. Episode 10: The Fourth Man. See my review of this excellent resource here.
The Lord’s Prayer by Albert Mohler. In this twelve-part series, Dr. Albert Mohler shows that the pattern of prayer Jesus provides is few in words, yet massive in meaning. His prayer reflects true theology and proper doxology – a perfect guide in our lives. I listened to this series as our book club at work was reading and discussing Tim Keller’s book Prayer.
Conference
Top Pick: Ligonier Ministries National Conference: The Next 500 Years. Watch or listen to all of the messages here.
