Tim Chester’s Gospel-Centered Family is currently on sale for $3.99 from Westminster’s bookstore.

“Many books aim to raise up competent, balanced parents and well-trained, well-rounded children. But Tim Chester and Ed Moll focus on families growing God-knowing, Christ-confessing, grace-receiving, servant-hearted, mission-minded believers-adults and children together.”

Discouragement and Faithfulness
John Piper shares his 30-year-old dream of faithfulness in ministry and conquering every attack of discouragement with God’s word.

Piper commends this powerful quote from Charles Bridges that offers us a reminder that success is not in our power.

“Our recompense is measured not according to ‘our success’ but ‘our labor’ and, as with our blessed Master, vouchsafed even in the failure of our ministration.” – Charles Bridges (d. 1869)
