Newsletters, Magazines or E-zines Recommended



Christian Fiction
  • A "Wonderful" Deception by Warren Smith available at www.lighthousetrails.com
  • Pilgrim's Progress by John Bunyan
  • Left Behind Series by Tim LaHaye
**NOTE: I don't recommend The Chronicles of Narnia series because some of C.S. Lewis' abberrant theology comes out in these novels. They also promote magic, and God abhors witchcraft of any kind. I cannot in good conscience recommend them now, because I do not want to be responsible for causing one of God's little ones to stumble.

Christian Films

For some reason, which is grievous to this former thespian, Christian films usually have very bad acting. The only one on this list that has quality acting is "The Hiding Place" then the next one is "Chariots of Fire." The acting in the others kinda tests your patience, but the stories and lessons in them are to be taken to heart. I didn't list Carman's "Champion" movie, because the story has been sooooooo overdone. It's predictable, and the acting was awful...sorry Carman, but you aint got the goods. You need a tough coach that won't be afraid to tell you the truth!!
