July 13, 2010
This week, the White Horse Inn featured T. David Gordon, author of Why Johnny Can't Preach and Why Johnny Can't Sing Hymns. Both books are vitally important polemics against the influence of pop culture in the life and worship of God's people.

David Gordon, author of Why Johnny Can't Preach: The Media Have Shaped The Messengers, and more recently, Why Johnny Can't Sing Hymns: How Pop Culture Rewrote the Hymnal.
