Conservative Christian Reviews The Greatest Movies Ever Made
$19.49Add to cartA Conservative Christian Reviews the Greatest Movies Ever Made was written to give Christians some guidance and perspective on the best films worth viewing that were produced during the first century of filmmaking. In the introduction, the author shows how the radical Left, in one generation, has transformed moviemaking away from the moral standards and family values of “The Golden Age of Hollywood.” The 440 motion pictures chosen for the book were picked by the author and a committee of twenty-two others connected with the film industry, including director Robert Wise (The Sound of Music) and cinematographer Fred Koenekamp (Patton). The survey includes what the panel concluded to be the top one hundred films of all-time. Along with the “cream of the crop” are fifty landmark films, fifty of the most underrated movies of all time, and forty family classics. The book covers both domestic and foreign films representing England, Italy, France, Germany, Japan, Sweden, Australia, Canada, China/Hong Kong, and Russia. Each essay also includes trivia, data, critical comments, and where deemed necessary, warnings for those films with sex scenes, violence, or foul language. Additionally, there are fifty photographs- candids, stills, posters, and portraits-plus a trivia quiz.

No Ordinary Joe
$19.99Add to cartCertainly one of the best-known coaches in college football, Paterno became an assistant at Penn State in 1950 and head coach in 1966. And he has stayed there ever since, despite offers from both colleges and professional teams. Through the years he has compiled a record of 298-77-3, but is probably more respected because of his insistence that the aim of college is primarily a college education and only secondarily a headline on the sports page, so he and his staff drive their players as hard for academic excellence as for gridiron success.

Inheriting Paradise : Meditations On Gardening
$15.50Add to cartThe garden is a personal place of retreat and delight and labor for many people. Gardening helps us collect ourselves, much as praying does. For rich and poor – it makes no difference – a garden is a place where body and soul are in harmony.
In Inheriting Paradise Vigen Guroian offers an abundant vision of the spiritual life found in the cultivation of God’s good creation. Capturing the earthiness and sacramental character of the Christian faith, these uplifting meditations bring together the experience of space and time through the cycle of the seasons in the garden and relate this fundamental human experience to the cycle of the church year and the Christian seasons of grace.The tilling of fresh earth; the sowing of seeds; the harvesting of rhubarb and roses, dillweed and daffodils – Guroian finds in the garden our most concrete connection with life and God’s gracious giving. His personal reflections on this connection, complemented here by delicate woodcut illustrations, offer a compelling entry into Christian spirituality.
