Vision Forum Giveaway


Vision Forum has come out with some new DVDs that look really good!  Check out the titles:
You May Not Take our Guns (DVD)
The Devolution of Law (DVD)
Top Ten Questions About Genesis and Creation (DVD)
The State of Parental Rights in America (DVD)
Christianity and Science Fiction: Reclaiming the Genre for Christ (1 DVD & 2 CDs)

They all sound good!  I am personally most interested in The State of Parental Rights in America and Christianity and Science Fiction.  Am I the only one with kids who are neck deep into The Lord of the Rings?  Our three oldest walk around the house listening to the LoTR soundtrack on their iPods!  TOTAL LoTR geeks.  Ben, our oldest, wants to be a writer, and he is doing everything he can to emulate J.R.R. Tolkien.  He has read just about every book Tolkien has written, not to mention books and magazines about Tolkien. 


I just downloaded an audio copy of Christian History magazine that was devoted to Tolkien and we listened to it at night before bedtime.  It was kind of dry and I thought to myself, "I can't believe the kids are even getting any of this."  Come to find out, Ben has been all ears!  One of the things we learned about Tolkien was that he studied languages such as Finnish, Gothic, Old English and Welsh.  It was a passion for him.  The next day, Ben, who has been working on his own book, asked if I knew of an onlne translation site that could help him with a few words.  I teased him a little and reminded him that Tolkien STUDIED and KNEW languages, which is how he was able to create new languages.  There are at least two that he created that can mostly be used to actually communicate.  But it got Ben's brain working, and I hope that soon he will be encouraged to go beyond an online translator.


More than anything, I would like for Ben's work to mirror God's influence in his life and am grateful for any resource that will help him to understand his role in the Big Picture.  Vision Forum seems to think of everything!  ;-)


SOOOOOO.....would  you like to win one of the above titles for your family?  If so, please leave your name and email address or blog address so I can get in touch with you!  This giveaway will end at noon (CST) on May 15th.  Good luck!
