"Boomer in the Pew" celebrates one year of blogging.

Crossway the publisher of the English Standard Version (ESV) has many excellent print editions and free ESV audio that you can listen to. You can read it on line at the ESV official web site or listen to passages at the Crossway site.

Check out Boomer in the Pew now you won't be disappointed. Boomer in the Pew is another great resource of a Christ centered blog that has great links and blog entries that will encourage your soul.
