The word “clickbait” is about drawing attention to something that’s being shared, and I want to draw your attention to stuff. Each Clickbait edition will give recommendations for you to check out. For this edition, here’s some stuff to notice.
Recently, I wrote an article for Logos on the topic of Jesus as a greater Solomon. It’s called “A Greater Solomon: 4 Ways Jesus Surpasses the Wisest King.”
Samuel James wrote a very important article for First Things called “Tyler Robinson and the Violence of Porn.”
I enjoy learning from T. D. Alexander, and I appreciated his recent article “Ransomed by the Lamb: The Passover Story.”
Right now, my new Advent book (There Shone a Holy Light: Beholding Christ and Christmas from the Old Testament) is on sale at the Westminster Bookstore. This is a great time to plan your Advent reading! I hope you (and maybe your church) will consider using There Shone a Holy Light this year. (And if you type “CHASE” as a promo code at checkout, you’ll get an additional 5% off your order!)
I’d like to recommend some books on heaven to you. After all, who of us wouldn’t benefit from thinking more about the glorious life for which God has made us and saved us? Check out The Saints’ Everlasting Rest (by Richard Baxter), Heaven Is a World of Love (by Jonathan Edwards), and The Glory Now Revealed (by Andrew Davis). The third book—The Glory Now Revealed—is currently on clearance at a fantastic price.
I loved learning more about Donald Whitney in his recent interview on “The Room for Nuance” podcast. It’ll make you want to get a copy of his beloved book Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life.
