Barna on the '08 Election - Obama or McCain? and The new NLT Study Bible

Barna Report on Evangelicals and the '08 Presidential Election - The Democratic Surprise. The 2008 presidential election is heating up, and the Obama lead has dwindled by a few points since early June. The portion of the electorate that may again decide the margin of victory is the committed Christian segment. While most voting blocs have remained stable over the past two months, the Christian community is showing signs of restlessness. This year could be a first for Christians and how they vote.

Recommendation and Review: The NLT Study Bible
Michael Spencer of the Internetmonk.com gives a thumbs up to the New Living Translation. Spencer writes, "NLT user who wants a set of study tools to translate into personal growth, teaching, preaching and more knowledge of the Bible, the NLT Study Bible is the obvious choice." You can find the NLT Study Bible by Tyndale on Amazon.com.
