Emergency Files Needed! Frame’s Doctrine of the Christian Life!
Did you know that at least up until recently, you could download all of John Frame's new The Doctrine of the Christian Life for free? Each of the chapters was a separate pdf.

I'm still waiting for him to build a bridge from point A (the physical is inherently good both because of God's creation and God's coming recreation) to point B (let's all adopt some liberal political causes).
