Kindle Deal: Presidents in Crisis: Tough Decisions inside the White House from Truman to Obama by Michael Bohn. $1.99.
Seven of the best articles I came across this week:
1. Alistair Roberts – Brexit Throws Down the Gauntlet for Confronting Deep Social Divisions. The UK’s withdrawal from the European Union is one of the biggest global events in recent memories. Roberts explains why it happened and what it signifies.
2. Morgan Lee – McDonald’s May Be the Most Welcoming Spot in Your Neighborhood. Let’s not sneer at our mission field, folks. Great insight from Morgan here.
3. Mika Edmondson – Is Black Lives Matter the New Civil Rights Movement? Edmondson unpacks the similarities and differences. Al Mohler responds.
4. Leslie Leyland Fields – Why Can’t We Christians Laugh Anymore? For the sake of our own souls—and even for the sake of good witness to our secular “opponents”—could we brighten up a little, at least on occasion, and maybe shed a little of our pride and self-importance?
5. Sherif Girgis – Obergefell and the New Gnosticism. We are not disembodied subjects but fleshly icons of the invisible God; whose worth comes not from extorted approval of our personal choices but from His infinite, undeserved love.
6. Josh Straub – Kids, Screens, and Summer. The 3 decisions parents must make.
7. Matt Rogers – Treasuring the Fleeting Days. Speaking of summer, enjoy your family.
