Logos Bible Software has partnered with Desiring God to provide you with a free book to help prepare you for the 2011 Desiring God Conference for Pastors, January 31–February 2, 2011 in Minneapolis, MN.

John Piper’s session will focus on Robert Murray McCheyne. McCheyne (sometimes spelled M’Cheyne) was an influential nineteenth-century Scottish Presbyterian minister and missionary. Although he died of typhus at 29, McCheyne left behind a legacy of writings which revealed a depth and piety beyond his years.

During the our 2010 National Conference, the White Horse Inn recorded a live broadcast for future release which has now posted on their site. The title of the show is “Textual Narcissim” as it features a discussion on how 'me-centeredness' dominates biblical interpretation in our day.

Attendees were encouraged to grab their dinner and listen in as they had “Dinner with the White Horse Inn.” The show was hosted by the regulars Michael Horton, Rod Rosenbladt, and Kim Riddlebarger, along with guest Stephen Nichols who sat in for Ken Jones. Their conversation was a highlight for those who attended this packed out session. 

With the Conference for Pastors coming up January 31, 2011, we've incorporated a new addition to our online store. We now have a page that features resources from each of our conference speakers that you can purchase from us.

Our desire in offering this noteworthy collection of books is to acquaint you with our speakers and encourage you towards a deeper Christ-centered life.
