I&#8217;m not familiar with this book, and I know Nee is solid on some areas of doctrine but sketchy on a few others, so listen carefully and compare everything back to Scripture&#8230;just like you would for anything else really.<\/li>\n<li>Christianaudio.com is also giving away the <a href=\"https:\/\/christianaudio.com\/good-news-tracts-collection-audiobook-download\" class=\"broken_link\">Good News tracts collection<\/a> for free. There are some familiar names on some good topics in there, so grab it if you think it might prove useful.<\/li>\n<li>The new Tabletalk is out: <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ligonier.org\/blog\/march-tabletalk-out\/\">John Knox and the Scottish Reformation.<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>This is basically the inspiration for the M&#8217;Cheyne quote above. Mary Queen of Scots once remarked that she feared Knox&#8217;s prayers more than any army in Europe. Grab Tabletalk and find out why.<\/li>\n<li>And last but not least, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ligonier.org\/blog\/how-gospel-brings-us-all-way-home-free-ebook\/\">free book of the month from Ligonier<\/a> is Derek Thomas&#8217;\u00a0<em>How the Gospel Brings Us All the Way Home<\/em>. I have really been enjoying their monthly offerings, and I expect this will be no different.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Alright everyone. Have a good week!
