Next Live Drops Soon
We’ve received a few inquiries about when the Next Live album will be out and we have good news. The album will, God willing, launch this Wednesday (July 8). Thirteen songs for just five bucks (and yes, that’s one more than the 12 songs we promised earlier). We’ll link to it here or you can watch for it on Bob Kauflin’s blog.

Can’t Get Enough Carson?
One of the great things about summer is that at some point many of us find ourselves on vacation, usually with a book in our hands or earbuds in our ears. Wondering what to take on vacation instead of that airport paperback?

This year leading up to the conference Justin Taylor did brief introductions to each of the Next speakers and provided lists of resources from each speaker. If you’re looking for a book to throw into your beach bag or messages to stock up your iPod with check out the resources from each speaker that Justin organized:

+D.A. Carson Resources

+Kevin DeYoung Resources

+C.J. Mahaney

+Sinclair Ferguson

And if you’ve read or listened to anything further from one of the Next speakers and want to share it, we’d love to hear from you in the comments section.

Here’s what I’m reading lately: “Just Do Something” by Kevin DeYoung (Our singles ministry here in El Paso is studying the book over the summer. Great stuff.); “In Christ Alone” by Sinclair Ferguson (I began this before Next and I’m just now finishing it. I see Jesus more clearly each chapter I read.); “Worldliness” edited by C.J. Mahaney (I was especially challenged by Craig Cabaniss’ chapter on media). What about you?
