The Martian – The Book

The Martian, by Andy Weir – If entertainment value was all that mattered, I’d give this book the biggest star I could fit on this blog page. That’s because it is a remarkable book that had me hooked from page one. The story is so simple yet it hit something deep in my soul that madeContinue reading “The Martian – The Book”

The Resurrection

Do we have any solid evidence that the resurrection of Jesus Christ really happened as it was recorded in the Bible? I believe the evidence shows overwhelmingly that it did. Here is a great article on the subject. Something to ponder on this day of remembrance of the most important event in human history. Five StrandsContinue reading “The Resurrection”

Howard The Duck is Back!

One of my earliest creative influences was an off-beat Marvel comic book series called Howard The Duck. The original series ran from 1976 – 1979. Sure, I loved the superhero comics of the day, but for some reason, this strange series about a talking duck with a bad attitude, trapped on a planet where he doesn’tContinue reading “Howard The Duck is Back!”

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”

Alexander’s Bad Day

Finally, a family comedy that’s funny, clever, well acted, clean for the most part,  and full of that old-fashioned Disney Magic. Crosswalk.com says this … If not for the omnipresent iPhones, the otherwise delightfully retro Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day could pass for something very early Disney, like maybe TheContinue reading “Alexander’s Bad Day”

Fifty Shades of Sesame Street

In a recent Ernie and Bert sketch on everyone’s favorite educational kid’s show Sesame Street, there is an obvious allusion to the Shades of Grey book. Bert is sitting on a park bench and reading a book that clearly shows the title “Fifty Shades of Oatmeal”. He addresses the camera and then reads the book. He says,Continue reading “Fifty Shades of Sesame Street”

“Hood”, A Fresh Take on Robin Hood

The official name of the series is The King Raven Trilogy, by Stephen Lawhead. That name makes sense within the story, but it’s much easier and accurate to say this series is an action-packed, fun retelling of Robin Hood. Although the 3 books are fictitious, they are all grounded in extensive research done by Mr. Lawhead into the actual roots of the story.Continue reading ““Hood”, A Fresh Take on Robin Hood”
