The Walk to Walden Hill: A Review
| December 2, 2011 | Posted by Anthony under Blog, book reviews, Christianity and Culture, family, literary apologetics, Love, manhood, morality, original sin, spirituality |
The Walk to Walden Hill begins with tragedy: the orphaning of the protagonist, Josh Billows. His mother dead, his father jailed, Josh ends up in foster care. As just a young child he is forced to grapple with issues that are known to shipwreck adults, even if he doesn’t understand the real issues that are in play.
Richard Dawkins: Give me the Child and I’ll Give you the Man

Posted to The ChristianPost.com Religious leaders are well aware of the vulnerability of the child brain, and the importance of getting the indoctrination in early. The Jesuit boast, ‘Give me the child for his first seven years, and I’ll give you the man,’ is no less accurate (or sinister) for being hackneyed. The above quote…
A couple of books to review

I received in the mail today two books to review… reminding me I’ve got a review or two yet to write! Argh!
To whet your appetite, let me say that both of these books appear to be solid and their respective websites look worthy of your investigation.
The first book is Rational Conclusions by James D. Agresti. This appears to be a thorough and cumulative apologetic for Christianity drawn from multiple disciplines. His website is www.justfacts.com. Find the book on Amazon, here.
The next book, by Dr. Edgar Andrews, is called Who Made God: Searching for a Theory of Everything. Pick it up on Amazon. I always like it when scientists step it up against other ‘scientists.’

I was feeling a bit like a heel for not having gotten to the other reviews of books that have been sent my way that I ran down and grabbed them so I could at least get some links their way. It’s the least I can do, I reckon

Observations on the Other Side of the Contest
| October 11, 2010 | Posted by ACMStaff under book reviews, General |
Observations on Writing Christian Fiction culled from comments on the novels submitted to the ACM novel contest. First and foremost, our culture needs good stories, well crafted and edited, which affirm and extend thinking about Christian ideas and teaching. Sometimes these stories have to be communicated in an explicit way but that approach often limits…
Book Review: “We Chose Life: Why You Should Too” by Anthony Horvath
| September 30, 2010 | Posted by ACMStaff under abortion, Blog, book reviews, General, pro-life |
Book Review by Mary Ann Kreitzer It’s a parent’s worst nightmare — hearing the words, “You have a very sick child.” For a dad, it’s particularly difficult because his job, besides providing materially for his family, is to protect his loved ones from harm. But when illness strikes a child, a dad often stands helpless…
Voyage of the Dawn Treader is Back On
| October 29, 2009 | Posted by Anthony under Blog, book reviews, General, literary apologetics, movie reviews |
Apparently, Disney is set to film Voyage of the Dawn Treader after having previously indicated the movie was off. In a previous post, I discussed my feelings about this. Essentially, I was unhappy with the embellishments in the movie and believe that the drop in revenue was associated with Lewis fans showing their displeasure. I reviewed Prince Caspian. The title was: A Review of Prince Caspian- One Disappointed Christian.
From my readings in the blogosphere, it looks like we may be in for more with the Voyage of the Dawn Treader. This is unfortunate, as this is one of my favorite of all of them.
