A few thoughts about popular movies

Christian AudioBefore I get to today's blog, in the past I’ve mentioned http://www.christianaudio.com/, and the free titles to download each month (this month, it’s The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky.) I’ve taken advantage of the sale below, good until December 4, 2009, and you may wish to. For instance, I downloaded the entire ESV audio Bible for $7.49 and a number of others. Here’s the info about the sale:

Twice per year (and only for a limited time), christianaudio offers all our titles and most other titles for the incredibly low price of $7.49, which is a huge savings of 30 to 70% off our already discounted digital prices!

Stock up on your favorite titles and bestselling authors, clean out your wish-list, and find Christmas gifts for everyone. Starting now until December 4th, 2009 (at noon PST), most digital downloads on our site are only $7.49 each.


Now on to today's blog:

The Blind SideI know, we’re supposed to pretend that movies have no influence on us, or our children. That way we can be cool and go with the popular drift of culture and prove that not all Christians are uptight and moralistic.

But as a father who raised two wonderful and now grown daughters (30 and 28), here is why I wouldn’t have wanted them to see the Twilight movies as impressionable teenagers:

On the other hand, Nanci and I really enjoyed "Blind Side." A recent World Magazine article quoted Sandra Bullock as saying of the Christian family the movie’s about, “I now have faith in those who say they represent a faith....I’ve finally met people that walk the walk."
