What If Christian DVD Review

It's hard to find quality Christian movies that is entertaining and that have a positive message that brings people closer in their relationship with God.

Here is a funny and enjoyable movie about a man's second chance. Money, power, and fame are short lived.

In WHAT IF..., Ben Walker (Kevin Sorbo) walks away from his missionary work and his girlfriend Wendy (Kristy Swanson) to pursue a lucrative career. Fifteen years later he gained wealth and a comfortable lifestyle.
Then the movie takes a turn when he is visited by an Angel (John Ratzenberger) who shows Ben what life would be like if he followed the calling to be a preacher.

The plot is very familiar but we enjoyed watching this film and Kevin Sorbo did a great job. I give is 2 thumbs up.

Heart of the Code

So many are captivated by C. S. Lewis’s famed Chronicles of Narnia. There is something about these books. If you want to discover what the code is then this is an in depth documentary for you. I will say that this is not a DVD for children. It's well done but so in depth that my husband fell asleep. However, it still was very intersting and I'm glad we watched the rest of it the following night. This would make a good gift for Narnia fan in your life.

You can buy it HERE for $14.98!

Gift of Love- A Christmas Story and Art Lesson

1 Corinthians 4:6 For God, who said, "Let light shine out of dark-ness," made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.

The Gift of Love, Drawing Children to Him, A See The Light Series DVD tells the birth of Jesus in an inspiring way through art! Your child will able to have an art lesson so that they will be able to create a manger scene using colored pencils.

My daughter just loved the art lessons and we had to hit pause so that she could give it a try. I am always looking for good Christian Christmas shows to watch. It has been a struggle to find ones appropriate for a five year old. So, I am very happy with this beautiful DVD and will now be happily adding it to our Christmas list of shows to watch.

There is contemporary music performed by recording artists Jan Roper and Kevin Dukes that plays, while you watch Gloria Kohlman draw. I would recommend this to anyone with children. It is a lovely and educational video.

Devotional for little girls

This is a devotional book for little girls. My daughter and I have started to read this sweet book at night. The illustrations are very cute and reminiscent of precious moments. The text is well organized with a topic and then a short summary with bible verses that coincide with the topic.

I highly recommend this book because it gets to the point and is easy to understand. My daughter has learned scripture versus and is able to relate to them easily. It also makes for a great bedtime story because each night you can focus on one topic.

* I received this book free from Book Sneeze. The opinions I have expressed are my own.

Storm Warning Review

Billy Graham's new book, Storm Warning is timely and insightful. It is a revised, updated version that Mr. Graham had originally written in 1992.
This book focuses on world events being backed by scripture. He talks about historic events and then focuses much on the book of Revelations. Throughout this book, he backs every point with the word of God and the gift of salvation.

With so much unrest, political turmoil, and religious clashing in our world, Billy Graham does a great job putting it all into perspective in Storm Warning. Basically, God is in control, there are definite signs of the times, but no man knows the hour. You don't have to be fearful about end time prophecy. If you are, spend more time building your relationship with the savior and experience His grace and salvation.

I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to make sense of the events that are happening today and how they correlate to the end times.

Will The World End in 2012

Will The World End In 2012 by Raymond C Hundley, PH. D. discusses the 10 theories on how the world is predicted to end. There has been a lot of talk about this topic, from the popular movie 2012 in theatres and from The History Chanel's coverage.

All of the theories discussed by Hundly I already knew, but he does a thorough job of highlighting each theory and then giving some of his thoughts. The book is written from a Christian perspective, but the reader is left to chose for himself at the end.

I would recommend this book. It's easy to read and very interesting. There is no denying that it's scientifically very likely that something will happen in 2012. Whether it's a small cosmic display or something much bigger remains to be seen.

But fear not "I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." John 16:33

Veggie Tales Pistachio DVD Review

VeggieTales Pistachio- The Little Boy That Woodn’t, is one of their newest DVD sensations that is a lesson in listening to your parents.

We liked this movie a lot. It is full of adventure, humor, funny characters, with a great lesson in the end.

The animation like all of the other Veggie Tales is very well done. In the story, Gelato carved a little boy out of wood so he wouldn't be so lonely. But this carving came to life and was named Pistachio. When he doesn't listen, he gets himself into a “whale” of a situation! He is faced with some tough decsions. Does Pistachio decide to listen to the wisdom of his father and save his family from becoming fish food? You can find out and learn a lesson about the importance of listening to your parents. VeggieTales Pistachio from Big Idea, Inc. is available where DVDs are sold.

The Flowering Cross Book Review For Easter

Easter is just 2 weeks away! I love finding great books to add to my daughter's collection that help to explain the holidays, such as Easter. This beautiful book, The Flowering Cross, by Beth Ryan, is a perfect pick! The Flowering Cross is a wonderful story with graceful and soft illustrations.

In the story the main character, a 6 year old girl named Katie, befriends a grouchy old neighbor named Jack. Katie always shows love to Jack (reminiscent of the story Polyanna) and eventually they become friends. She then invites Jack to church and shares the love of Christ with him on Easter.

My daughter loved the story and I liked the scripture verses at the end of the pages that corresponded with the text. It is now one of our favorites in our library. It would be perfect in your child's Easter Basket!
