Confessions of a Prodigal Son

Posted in Reviews

Special thanks to Family Christian for providing a review copy of this movie. This post contains affiliate links. Most of us have either read or heard the story of the prodigal son in the Bible.

Posted in Reviews

Special thanks to Family Christian for providing a review copy of On Calvary’s Hill by Max Lucado for this post. Easter falls on April 5th this year. In stores, the Easter decorations started showing up right after Valentine’s Day. There are rows of candy, stuffed animals, plastic eggs, baskets, and all kinds of little goodies just waiting to be bought. The focus is on all of the material things of Easter rather than on the ultimate sacrifice that would should be remembering.
