This one is for Theology Geeks…
If you’ve ever wanted to work your way through Calvin’s Institutes, Augustine’s Confessions or Jonathan Edwards’ Works, but find yourself lacking the time to sit down and plop open such a tome, then have I got the website for you!
Doxologypress.org has put out downloadable audio of a fair number of classic theology works being read. So, if you can’t find an audio book of the ‘Death of Death in the Death of Christ’ by John Owen, then visit their site and you can download as much as you want of Volume 1 and Volume 10 of Owen’s works. (The rest are on their way.)
For the non-Geeks…
If you’ve never read Jonathan Edwards’ Life of David Brainerd, then you might consider that one once it’s been uploaded.

A question I received this week was:
| I was wondering if our church had any kind of response to the Ted Haggard situation. I know we are not associated with that church, but as fellow believers we seem to be grouped together whenever trouble arises. |

If you were in Temecula today around 5:45pm, you may have seen the guy with the guitar on the corner of Margarita and Winchester. I actually shut off my audiobook and rolled down my windows to hear him. There he stood, playing, shouting and singing… The sum of his message = We’re a bunch of atheists. Don’t buy into Satan’s apples "cause they’re full of worms." Turn to Jesus.
Okay…the delivery and method are not what you’d probably call the most effective. He may even need to grow in his compassion for the spiritually dead. BUT let’s consider what about him s worthy of imitation:
I know very little about the guy on the corner. I’m dubious that his method is useful for much more than the hardening of hearts. YET…I’m convicted by him as well. Are you?
