On the first half of the program today, I will speak with Kevin DeYoung about his latest book, "The Good News We Almost Forgot - Rediscovering the Gospel in a 16th Century Catechism"

About "The Good News We Almost Forgot":

In The Good News We Almost Forgot Kevin DeYoung explores the Heidelberg Catechism and writes 52 brief chapters on what it has shown him. The Heidelberg is largely a commentary on the Apostle's Creed, the Ten Commandments, and the Lord's Prayer and the book deals with man's guilt, God's grace, and believers' gratitude. The result is a clear-headed, warm-hearted exploration of the faith, simple enough for young believers and deep enough for mature believers

Kevin DeYoung is senior pastor of University Reformed Church in East Lansing, Michigan.

NOTE: During the program today, I will be giving away copies of "The Good News We Almost Forgot"

On the second half of the program today my guest will be Dr. Robert E. Kellemen.

Earlier this week (Monday and Tuesday) Bob participated in the Biblical Counseling Coalition Summit Meeting, so I will ask Bob to give us an report on the items discussed and at that meeting.

During the program Bob and I will also discuss two of his most recent books, "Soul Physicians" and "Spiritual Friends". Note: a sample chapter from each book is available in the eDocs section of this website.
