The Narnia Code - DVD review
Millions of readers have been captivated by C. S. Lewis’s famed Chronicles of Narnia, but why? What is it about these seven books that makes them so appealing? For more than half a century, scholars have attempted to find the organizing key—the “secret code”—to the beloved series, but it has remained a mystery. Until now.
This documentary describes C. S. Lewis from a young child, to a multi-talented and highly gifted author. The viewer is taken on a journey in which C. S. Lewis' life is explained in more detail, and the background for the "why" of his writing the Chronicles of Narnia is examined. Shown also are his reasons for growing up as an Athiest; to his meeting and befriending of J.R.R Tolkein. Conversations with Tolkein were instrumental in Lewis choosing to question his Athiestic beliefs; and finally come to the conclusion that God truly is alive and real. Michael Ward is noted as discovering the "secret code" to these wonderful stories. I was intrigued throughout the DVD, and kept taking notes so I would not forget anything. I recommend that all adult C. S. Lewis, and Narnia lovers would benefit from watching this DVD. I won't tell more than this, for fear of spoiling the wonderful "secrets" held within this DVD.
Also look for Michael Ward's book: Planet Narnia -

Beginning Reader's Bible
The Beginning Reader's Bible
The Beginning Reader's Bible Illustrated by Marijke ten Cateis a really nice beginner's Bible for little ones. I would recommend this for ages 2 - 8. It has a nice hard cover, and exceptional Illustrations . The bible stories are wonderfully captured in each artwork.
The layout gives children an opportunity to take a passage of scripture, then find ways to apply it to life. For example, After the story, there is the scripture, a verse to memorize, an activity to complete, and then a short prayer goes along with the scripture. This children's bible is different from other children's bibles in that it includes the plan of salvation, as well as a reading chart where the child or adult can add the date the scripture passages were read, as well as lyrics to some popular bible songs, and a memory verse chart.
My Review:
My Review:
My 3 year old and my 6 year old both love the Beginning Reader's Bible, and as a parent, so do I. I definitely would recommend this to any family with children in the age range of 2 - 8. I think some of the wording could be a bit simpler, but overall definitely a good book for that "beginning reader" in your life!
