The Politics of Abortion — Anne Hendershott
In this 2006 volume, sociologist Anne Hendershott gives an excellent history of The Politics of Abortion. Among other things, Hendershott shows how the Democratic Party went from being the champion of the little guy to abandoning the most defenseless among us. Although Ted Kennedy, Bill Clinton, Al Gore, Jesse Jackson and many other democratic luminaries once articulated pro-life convictions, the party of the New Deal, Medicare, and Aid to Families with Dependent Children, has become the party of Abortion on Demand. In just the first few chapters of this book, the reader learns about: 1. … [Read more...] about The Politics of Abortion — Anne Hendershott

Barack Obama Making Christ a Minister of Condemnation
John Piper: At Barack Obama’s request, tomorrow in the Lincoln Memorial, Gene Robinson, the first openly non-celibate homosexual bishop in the Episcopal Church, will deliver the invocation for the inauguration kick-off. This is tragic not mainly because Obama is willing to hold up the legitimacy of homosexual intercourse, but because he is willing to get behind the church endorsement of sexual intercourse between men. It is one thing to say: Two men may legally have sex. It is another to say: The Christian church acted acceptably in blessing Robinson’s sex with men. The implications of this … [Read more...] about Barack Obama Making Christ a Minister of Condemnation
Joshua Harris: The Next Generation
Writing for TableTalk magazine this past April, pastor Joshua Harris reflects on the value of a mentor in his life: When I turned twenty-one, my dad gave me this simple advice: “Find men that you want to be like and then sit at their feet.” As I launched into manhood, he was reminding me that the lessons I needed most wouldn’t be found in a textbook — they’d be written in the heart and life of a godly man. I needed to get close enough to this man that I could observe his character and be shaped by his example. I needed a mentor.
