1. Vitamin Z has a great interview on a robust pro-life way of thinking and acting with Scott Klusendorf<\/a>, author of a new and important book called The Case for Life<\/em><\/a> (very highly recommended by Justin Taylor).<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a very moving quotation from the interview in which Klusendorf describes how he left malaise on this point and became a pro-life advocate: \u201cGregg\u2019s signature quote haunts me to this day: \u201cMost people who say they oppose abortion do just enough to salve the conscience but not enough to stop the killing.\u201d That\u2019s a staggering truth. Every time I tempted to quit, I remember it.\u201d<\/p>\n

A glowing endorsement of Klusendorf\u2019s book<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Case for Life is a veritable feast of helpful information about pro-life issues, the finest resource about these matters I have seen. It is accessible to the layperson, and it lays out a strategy for impacting the world for a culture of life.\u201d

2. A British study has shown seemingly indisputable evidence<\/a> that same-sex education has significantly improved the performance of girls.<\/p>\n

3. This book on the troubled lives of political families looks very interesting<\/a>.\u00a0 Hope to read it soon.<\/p>\n

4. Will Gray<\/a>, a Christian and a maker of excellent hip-hop, gets a great review from a Paste Magazine writer<\/a> (that\u2019s a big deal, fyi\u2013 Paste<\/a> is a musical authority).<\/p>\n

5. Mark Dever pens a very provocative piece<\/a> that touches on his view of multi-site churches, paedo-baptism, and a rubric for addressing controversial church issues. (HT: JT<\/a>)<\/p>\n
