Tim Challies has a drawing during September for volumes from the Reformed Expository Commentary series. Click the image to enter–doing so also gives me another entry. You’d like to help build my library wouldn’t you?

Some time ago I set up a wiki (get one for yourself for free at pbwiki.com) for our family to use to share useful information such as favorite recipes, gift ideas or items needed when mom shops next week. I suggested early this year that we keep on the wiki a running list of books we’ve read, mainly as motivation (for me) to read more–a little peer pressure and accountability in this area is a good thing. Well, so far this year my wife Carolyn is showing me up. On her list are thirty-one books and one of them is the Bible. She’s kinda competitive that way.
