Mohler: Ten Great Christian Biographies
Maybe you've already seen it, but I just ran across Al Mohler's list of of recommended biographies (HT: JT). I've ordered two books off the list and hope to get to all the books in the coming years. An article like this is worth saving for future reference. It might be good to email it to friends and family come Christmas time! But don't wait for Christmas. If you're in danger of wasting your summer away with mediocre movies and shallow novels, pick a book off this list and turn your brain back on.

Atheism Remix: The contemporary strain of atheism--the New Atheism--is more popular and widely accepted than previous strains. Dr. Al Mohler's newest book provides a Christian response to New Atheism's four leading thinkers: Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett, Sam Harris and Christopher Hitchens. You can learn more at a promotional site for the book.
Mahaney on Humor: Humor is a gift from God. When humbly and wisely used, it is a means of transferring truth and generating joy. This message by C.J. Mahaney addresses how we can use humor to build others up and honor God. It's worth a listen.

The Marsden biography on Edwards is great, but I really recommend the one by Iain Murray better. But, just my two cents. And there's definitely a few I need to get off of that list. Thanks for the post.

Ryan,
I've read nearly all of the Marsden bio and enjoyed it. I haven't read Murray's. But I've heard that Marsden's is a little more balanced and presents a more accurate portrayal of some of Edward's flaws. Some people think that Murray loves Edwards so much he sometimes presents him as perfect. Did you sense that?
