This book is full of good information. It is a hard slow read full of graphs, science, data, etc. But he makes a lot of great points with data to back out up and his suggestions to make changes are fabulous if parents, schools and government would all agree to give it a try. 

This is an apologistic view of some top movies series currently. They do a good job questioning and then answering, using scripture, etc. Each chapter ends with a free questions for discussion with family, friends or small group. This will be a great tool for discussing certain good versus evil movies with our kids and showing them parallels to Scripture but there's still only one True God whom we follow. This will also help them (hopefully) as they get older in talk to even unbelievers about God - because they might be able to use some of these movies as common ground to start the conversations. 

You don't have to have seen all these movies to get something out of the book. I think I only haven't seen the one series and yet I understood what they were talking about in the chair relating to the movies. 


This was a fantastic book. It is a fictional retelling of the story of David being anointed King of Israel as a boy, fighting Goliath and defeating the Philistine army. It is the first book in a trilogy. My kids wanted me to keep reading chapter after chapter, even though they know the story of David, they couldn't wait to see what happened next in this fictional retelling. I highly highly recommend for kids are 8 up or as a family read aloud my youngest is 4 and loved it.
