Zondervan has put What’s Best Next on sale today only for $1.99 as part of their e-book flash sale this week (see the other books in the sale as well).
If you haven’t picked it up yet, now is a great time! And either way, this sale is a great opportunity to spread the word further.
In honor of this sale, I’ve also reduced the price on my ebook How to Set Up Your Desk to $0.99. (Note: if the price on that isn’t active yet, it should be live soon.)
For the next two weeks, you can watch the sessions from yesterday’s online event by The Gospel Project.
My favorite was Trevin Wax’s on The Gospel and Repentance. It’s a very timely message on a much-overlooked foundational reality in the Christian life.
(You need to register to watch the videos, but it is quick and easy.)

In 1899, a few months after becoming governor of New York, Theodore Roosevelt gave the speech “In Praise of the Strenuous Life.” It remained one of his most popular, and has excellent things to say that are affirmed by the biblical doctrine of vocation. Here is how it starts:
In speaking to you, men of the greatest city of the West, men of the state which gave to the country Lincoln and Grant, men who preeminently and distinctly embody all that is most American in the American character, I wish to preach not the doctrine of ignoble ease but the doctrine of the strenuous life; the life of toil and effort; of labor and strife; to preach that highest form of success which comes not to the man who desires mere easy peace but to the man who does not shrink from danger, from hardship, or from bitter toil, and who out of these wins the splendid ultimate triumph.
A life of ignoble ease, a life of that peace which springs merely from lack either of desire or of power to strive after great things, is as little worthy of a nation as of an individual. I ask only that what every self-respecting American demands from himself, and from his sons, shall be demanded of the American nation as a whole.
Read the whole thing (it’s short). And you can find more helpful resources on vocation at MondayChurch.org.
