“This is a book on writing sermons unlike any I’ve ever read…I predict you will wish it was not finished when you turn the last page.”

I’d love for folks to purchase a copy from Byron at Hearts and Minds Bookstore! heartsandmindsbooks.com/orde…

What a marvelous little essay by the author @RevAustinCarty (whose books we promote here at Hearts & Minds.) "Compound Interest in an Attention Economy." (I'm usually not one for financial metaphors but this is great. Don't miss it.) frontporchrepublic.com/2025/…
On this book release day, I want to thank @scotmcknight , @KSPrior, @HootenWilson, @ClaudeAtcho, @RootAndrew, @ericbarreto, Tom Long, and Neal Plantinga for lending their heavy weight names to my humble little project. I couldn’t be more grateful.
