The Year Ahead
Don Sweeting takes a “prophetic” look at 2012.

Keeper of the great seal of heaven
As John Flavel is my favorite Puritan, and as Brian Croft’s recommendations are always worth listening to, this book has just been slotted in at #4 in the 2012 reading list.

Books
Christian Focus for Kids
There’s a empty niche in the blogosphere for someone who’s willing to read and review books for the kids (especially teenage kids) of Christian parents. And if that blogger could specialize in Kindle books for kids, even better.
