images-2Hello Friends!

Last week I was away at the Banner of Truth Trust (Publishers) Ministers’ Conference — for the 18th year in a row. It was a delight to sit under the preaching of the Word and to fellowship with other pastors/elders once again. A record 320+ men were there! Speakers included: Sinclair Ferguson, Alistair Begg, Walt Chantry, Ian Hamilton and Mark Johnston.

This week I plan to post some (brief) notes from the conference addresses, and mention a few of the new books I discovered. I hope you will check back each day (even later today).

The origins of the work were closely connected with the prayer that God would be pleased to visit the land again in true awakening. (read the rest)
