Shepherding a Child’s Heart is only $1.99 for a Kindle edition…
Shepherding a Child’s Heart is one of the best books to read on raising children. I need to reread it! If you don’t already own it and can read it on Kindle, here’s a great deal.

PCA Mobile Iphone App
Someone has just recently created an app for the PCA. It includes a directory of PCA churches, as well as our constitutional documents (the Book of Church Order and the Westminster Standards) and other confessional documents. If you have an Iphone, it’s .99 well spent.

Humanitas Forum April 15
April 15, 2011 (Friday) — Michael Poore, Director, The Humanitas Project
Without God, Without Creed:
Considering and Confronting the Idols of Our Age
“The human heart is a perpetual factory of idols.” This famous quote from a 16th Century theologian reflects more than a Reformation era concern about idolatry in the Church. Rather, it is a statement about the human condition—from the Garden of Eden through ancient Israel to Mars Hill, and on to the present moment. Our idols do not look anything like the Golden Calf or the Greek goddess Artemis, but they are just as enslaving. This talk will provide an overview of several contemporary idols. It also contends that the recovery of the biblical theme of idolatry is essential if Christians are to recover and maintain spiritual vitality in our postmodern age.
The Humanitas Forum on Christianity and Culture is dedicated to wrestling with some of the many issues facing Christians who would be “salt and light” in our secular age. Please plan to join us!

Genes, Knives, Pills, and Electrodes:
Is Biotechnology a Remedy for the Human Condition?
Prepare to evolve! Humans are obsolete, according to the transhumanists and many mainline scientists, medical researchers, and bioethicists. The new biotechnologies should be used to usher in a new species of posthumans—beings radically different and vastly superior to homo sapiens in health, longevity, and intelligence. Should gene therapy be used to create super athletes? What about the use of genetic screening to produce “designer babies“—babies that are either designed to be crippled or free of certain genetic diseases? What are the ramifications of breast enhancement, given to a still-developing teenage girl as a birthday gift from her parents? As alarming as we may find the futuristic posthuman vision, biomedical technologies have already begun to move us significantly in that direction. Human dignity is the most significant cultural battleground of the 21st Century. This talk will examine several technologies that are being used to redefine and redesign what it means to be human. It will also look at what Christians should do, and are doing, in response to these profound challenges to our humanity.

Upcoming Humanitas Forum
March 25, 2011 (Friday) — Michael Poore, Executive Director, The Humanitas Project
On Friday, March 25th, at 7:00, Michael Poore will be speaking at Nashville State Community College on bioethics. His talk is titled, “Genes, Knives, Pills, and Electrodes: Is Biotechnology a Remedy for the Human Condition?” Here’s a summary: “Prepare to evolve!
