Looking back over my stats for the last two years, I thought I would pass on to you what the top three sellers have been from my little Mablog Shop on the corner. This is to help along those of you who have not yet purchased one of these little babies (one dollar a piece, …
The Salvation of Emeth
Introduction: One episode in the Narnia stories has caused no little consternation for evangelical parents as they have read to their children, and that element of the story concerns the salvation of Emeth. On another occasion, I discussed the curious fact of Susan’s absence from the heavenly regions in The Last Battle. A second curious …
Yet One More Title . . .
Let’s all join together to make the newest product in the Mablog shop feel welcome. When you are a new title in strange surroundings, it is often awkward. And the best way to make any new title feel welcome is to buy 26 of them. Everybody knows that.

Logos 8: A Review
So then, I began using Logos Bible Software quite a few years ago—I think the version was Logos 4, so I have been at it for at least a decade. And my memory is murky on the point, meaning that it could be even earlier than that. Anyway you cut it, I am a long …
