6 more freebies (I've been waiting for a couple of these!)

6 more free books from Canon Press. There are a couple of these I've been anxiously awaiting to be free, just so I could promote them. The first one is The Covenant Household. I read this book a while ago, and found it to be life altering in my perspective. It adjusted the focus of my ministry, and it wasn't even about that! I highly recommend this book. (I'll probably read it again.)

The Covenant Household

This next book is Angels in the Architecture: A Protestant Vision for Middle Earth by Douglas Wilson and Douglas Jones. I've been looking forward to reading this one. I actually purchased it a bit ago (before it was free), but forgot about it until this round of freebies. It has moved to the top of my list. I hope to read it soon and give a review. Maybe someone else out there might read it as well and tell me what they think.

Angels in the Architecture:
A Protestant Vision for Middle Earth

I've also read this next book: On Secular Education by R.L. Dabney. I believe that Dabney was a pastor/preacher and theologian from the mid to late 1800s. This book is fairly short, I think it may have simply been an essay that he wrote. Much of what he talks about will refer to the influx of Catholic immigrants and the reasons why they started their own school system in America: it was because the system was too Protestant... the public/secular system was too Protestant for them. It wasn't because it was too secular. But at the time of this writing, Dabney saw the influx of this secular education and predicted that, "All prayers, catechisms, and Bibles will be driven out of the schools." ... and when we read that, about half of us say, "There were catechisms in the public schools?!?" and the other half (sadly) say, "What is a catechism?"
