There are some novels which stand the test of time. They remain relevant to their readers decades and even centuries after they are published. Louisa May Alcott’s novel Little Women, published 150 years ago, is one of those novels. This year’s movie remake is proof that the story of four sisters still resonates with women […]
Paul: Apostle of Christ {DVD review & giveaway}
The Apostle Paul wrote eight of the twenty-seven books of the New Testament (and maybe more, though scholars debate that). He’s well-known for his dramatic conversion and his lengthy missionary journeys. St. Paul was a giant of faith in the early Church, and to us today, it can be easy to forget that he was […]

Phoenix Wilder: and the Great Elephant Adventure {movie review}
Our experience with elephants has been limited to smelly encounters at local zoos. Much as we love our zoos, these majestic animals are hardly at their best there. I was excited to watch Phoenix Wilder: and the Great Elephant Adventure just to see elephants in their natural environment. This family-friendly movie didn’t disappoint, in either […]

The Divergent Trilogy by Veronica Roth
I’ve always maintained that books are better than movies. Reading the Divergent trilogy by Veronica Roth recently, after seeing the movies, reinforced that for me. While I enjoyed the Divergent movies, I have to say, the books are much, much better. Here’s why I recommend picking up the original series, if you haven’t already, instead […]
Alison’s Choice DVD: A Film about Life
One question that many of us ask is why God allows suffering. It’s hard to understand how a good God can allow bad things to happen. The answer is fairly simple: choice. God gave humans free choice, and often we make choices that hurt others. This is the theme of Alison’s Choice, a DVD about a […]

TreasureToons teaches kids about Scripture
This TreasureToons post and giveaway are sponsored by Oodles World and the FrontGate Christian Blogger Network. The opinions about how it will serve our home well are my own. Most children learn best with audio and visual materials. I’m often amazed at how much my children learn from the movies we watched. That makes me […]
