NEXT

The April 2009 issue of the Next Webzine is up. Here’s what you’ll find inside…

Author Spotlight
This month we’re highlighting work from Kevin DeYoung. We like Kevin because he’s a young pastor committed to learning from older generations and helping his generation faithfully receive the gospel.

If you’ve never heard of Kevin DeYoung and wonder why he’s speaking at Next check out Who Is Kevin DeYoung?–a brief intro to who Kevin is by our friend Justin Taylor. If you’re already a Kevin DeYoung fan check out the resources from Kevin that Justin lists.  (Our favorite: a sermon series on Ecclesiates.)

We also did an interview with Kevin on everything from his upcoming message at Next to his upcoming book to recommending books for college students.

Kevin DeYoung’s new book on finding God’s will starts shipping today and, coincidentally, we have an excerpt from it: The Long Road to Nowhere. Kevin also takes readers on a tour through the pastoral epistles in the article Truth that Transforms, Doctrine that Damns.

Articles
At a time when more people are shedding layers as summer approaches, Lydia Brownback writes to single girls about the importance of modest…behavior. Her article The Single Woman and The Modesty of Personal Restraint encourages girls to take 1 Peter to the workplace.

Do your friend’s music choices drive you crazy? Bob Kauflin provides some helpful ideas for how to share musical opinions humbly in I Hate That Music.

This month we’re going to start including a new kind of article in each webzine issue. Read the introduction to Rick Gamache’s A Crucifixion Narrative to find out more, and to vividly remember what Christ did on our behalf.

So let us know what you think and how we can make the webzine better. We want to constantly improve and provide more helpful content all the time.
