Featured Download: Prince Caspian Movie Discussion Guide

I am so delighted that the Chronicles of Narnia movie Prince Caspian is coming out tomorrow because it gives me a chance to think about this wonderful series again. I didn't read the Narnia tales until I was an adult. Someone introduced them to me when I was a fairly young Christian, and I think those novels shaped many of my views about God. Few works of fiction have taught me so many truths.

We are delighted to offer many resources for those who also love this series. Our new discussion guide on the movie Prince Caspian is a great resource for your small group, Sunday school class, or group of friends. Go see the movie together and discuss it afterwards.

We also offer a Prince Caspian quiz for fun, and a free download called 4 Things We Can Learn From Prince Caspian. If that's not enough, click here for all things Narnia.

Also this week:
  • Love our movie discussion guides? Check out the ones we have for Iron Man and Bella, which just came out on DVD, or click here to discover all the movie discussion guides we have to offer.

  • Every once in a while, I read an article that cuts me to the core. Such is our free article Please Don't Interrupt Me.
May Christ be central in all you do.

Please Don't Interrupt Me Please Don't Interrupt Me
What if life is really in the interruptions?


I love poetry: to read it, to write it, to get lost in the language and the pictures. To savor the fragment that doesn't seem big enough or long enough, and yet it captures everything.

 Questions from Bible Readers

How can I make God's presence real in my life?
Realize that even when you don't "feel" God's presence, he's there.
Ezekiel 10

The Bible reveals God is everywhere at all times, so you know, with your intellect, that God is always with you. Sometimes you're especially aware of his presence—like when a truck almost hits your skidding car or when you're worshiping him intently at church.
