A few links of interest that I’ve come across in the past couple weeks:

• “Great Cloud of Witnesses” — missionary stories compiled by Urbana.  I’ve not read much on this site, but what led me to it was an interest in a pair of articles about Jim Elliott, written by his brother-in-law, David Howard (Pt 1 | Pt 2)
• A brief account of the martyred missionaries John and Betty Stam, written by a descendant of theirs (Carl Stam, professor at Southern Baptist Seminary).
• Al Mohler
  • “The Cooking Creature — A Call for Recovered Wisdom”
  • “The Case for Early Marriage”
• A new book by John Piper — Filling Up the Afflictions of Christ (the missionary stories of suffering in the lives of Tyndale, Judson, and Paton)
  • Download the book for free
  • Read an interview by Justin Taylor with John Piper about the book
• “You’ve Got Lies:  Chick Flicks and the World’s Approach to Men and Marriage” (.pdf)
