Movie Reviews:
Facing The Giants
If you have not seen this movie...well, what are you waiting for? It is excellent. Also, watch the extra material on the DVD. You'll get to see some funny and heartwarming cuts. Don't rent it; just buy it.
One Night With The King
Wow! I thought this would be a good movie, but I never dreamed it would be sooo good. This is another movie that should be in every church library. Don't rent it; just buy it.
The Nativity Story
Wonderful telling of the Christmas story. (Warning: The three wisemen are at the birth, but the producers knew that in reality this was not the case. However, they preferred to stay with tradition in order to focus on the birth of Christ and not have to take time explaining about the wisemen.) This movie should be watched at least every Christmas! Don't rent it; just buy it.
Meet The Robinsons
Pretty good little movie. I enjoyed the popcorn...okay, I enjoyed the movie too. At least it was better than Happy Feet!
Book Reviews:
The Truth War by John MacArthur
This is an excellent book that should be read by all. He addresses the postmodern culture in churches today. Read it and meditate upon what he says. This will be a required reading book in my logic class.
Eldest by Paolini
Having finished Eragon, and realizing that the movie and book differ in many aspects, I went and bought Eldest, the 2nd book of the trilogy. So far, this book is moving the story along and really adds to the characters, plots, etc. A definite buy if you are into Sci-Fi/Fantasy.
The Fourth Crusade
A well-written book about the crusades (one in particular). It is easy for most to understand and tries to make sense of the socio-political, religious, and economic ideas and powers of that time. Good for Christian history.
Well, there are some recommendations. Take them or leave them...but at least you read them!

One Night With the King? Is that what it was called? I thought it was One Night with Fabio. Sorry... can't agree with your review of this one. I want my $9 back.
And I'm impressed that you read and enjoyed Johnny Mac. He's sort of my hero, depending on the day you ask me.
Oh well, Stephanie...everyone's a critic! Hahahaha...
This much is true. Hope you're well!
Do you know who is the author of The Fourth Crusade? Sound interesting.
I posted some "pasted" information for you here on the voice of the verb in I Cor. 13:8.
The author of "The Fourth Crusade: And The Sack Of Constantinople" is Jonathan Phillips. He is a Senior Lecturer in Medieval History at Royal Holloway, University of London. He also authored "Defenders of the Holy Land: Relations Between the Latin East and the West, 1119-1187" and "The Crusades, 1095-1197."
Go see "Fireproof". It was made by the same folks...
