adrianwarnock.com: Billy Graham Newsreels From The 1950s

Watching the newsreels and seeing the throngs of people running to get a glimpse of the "Evangelist" made me wonder what a newsreel if it had existed in the days of Whitefield would have reveled.

I think of the story from Whitefield's biography of a farmer in the field hearing his preaching near by gathered his wife and threw her on his horse and rode as hard as the could to hear the word. When the horse got tired the farmer dismounts and tells his wife to go on as he runs the remaining distant. As they approach the field where Whitefield will preach he sees such a cloud of dust and horses from the thousands who have gathered. Oh for more of Christ, to long to hear the word and to be transformed by the living Word.

New book about David Brainerd

I love biographies and especially those about missionaries. This new book on David Brainerd is featured on Justin Taylor's blog. It is published by Oxford University Press and hefty price tag. The Lives of David Brainerd: The Making of an American Evangelical Icon by John Grigg would be a worthy addition to your library.

Desiring God National Conference

The conference speakers Piper, Storms, Olasky, Wilson, Talbot, Kim and David Mathis as the moderator of the Q&A.


With Calvin in the Theater of God the national conference took place September 25-27.


John Calvin saw the world as a theater where the glory of God is always on display. This conference showed how the vision of God that Calvin lived and taught is relevant in all our lives for the parts we play in God's drama. Through the teaching of each of the conference speakers, we grew in our understanding of John Calvin, and more, we grew in our understanding of God's word, the purposes of God in human suffering, our glorious hope for heaven.
