Ridley Scott’s NonBiblical EXODUS

Here we go again. Another great Bible story is being translated into a big-budget Hollywood movie by a Director and a lead actor whose least concern is telling the story accurately. This time it’s the story of Moses as he leads the children of Israel out of Egypt. The Director is Ridley Scott who admits thatContinue reading “Ridley Scott’s NonBiblical EXODUS”

Is the Bible Reliable?

I just finished going through this video series with our youth at my church. It’s part 2 of the True U series, produced by Focus on the Family.

A Great Gift For Young Readers

Consider giving the young reader in your family a book he or she will absolutely love. My book, Glazed Man & Rat Girl is a chapter book with 100 illustrations. It’s full of humor and non-stop action.

7 MEN – A Book of Heroes

True life heroes are hard to come by these days. I’m sure real heroes are out there, especially in our military and our police force and firefighters. But, the real heroes are overshadowed by the showy, superficial heroes that we tend to glamorize in Hollywood and in the Sports World. Sure, some of these men and womenContinue reading “7 MEN – A Book of Heroes”

Short & Sweet Reviews

Short Reviews from one Concerned Parent to Another … THE BOOK OF LIFE – PG – SPLAT for infusing a fun and colorful kids movie with pagan traditions of the afterlife, rooted in the Mexican holiday “Day of the Dead”… then adding just enough Christian symbolism to make it acceptable to American audiences. THE BEST OF ME –Continue reading “Short & Sweet Reviews”
