Jesus Music Oldies

I love the early days of Christian Rock and came across the Jesus Music Oldies Web Radio which is a nostolgic trip down memory lane. You can find old CD's and information about the groups from the 70's. If you are in your 50's you will like looking around this site.

Joshua Project

I have added at the bottom of the page the daily Joshua Project updated people group. Check it out. A great aid in praying for the people groups of the world.

Modern Parable

John Newton - Latest Biography

I have recently finished the book released this summer titleled John Newton: From Disgrace to Amazing Grace by Jonathan Aitken. I love to read a good biorgraphy but this was great biorgraphy and one that every Christian should read for encouragement and to see how God alone is the one who saves us. This work is a good companion to Kevin Belmonte's book Hero for Humanity, the biorgraphy of William Wilberforce. You can read more about this book her on the blog dated September 6, 2006.

Jonathan Aitken’s biography of John Newton looks into nooks and crannies in Newton’s life, character, and spiritual journey. Aitken draws on Newton’s unpublished diaries and correspondence, providing fresh perspective on the life of this memorable man of God. The book is a portrait of John Newton, a self-described “great sinner” redeemed by a great Savior through amazing grace.

Jonathan Aitken is a well-known British author and former politician. He was a Member of Parliament for twenty-three years, serving in the Cabinet as Chief Secretary to the Treasury and also as Minister of State for Defense. His political career ended when he pleaded guilty to charges of perjury as a result of having told a lie on oath in a civil libel lawsuit. During an eighteen-month prison stay, he converted to Christ. He is president of Christian Solidarity Worldwide, a director of Prison Fellowship International, and executive director of The Trinity Forum in Europe. He is the author of twelve books, including the award-winning Nixon: A Life and Charles W. Colson: A Life Redeemed.

I would highly recommend this book. Put it on your 2008 reading list - you will not be sorry you did.
