Hi <<First Name>>,

It's a beautiful day today. The sky is mostly clear, the sun is shining, and it's a brisk 55 degrees. The best part of today is that we left the office and drove up to the mountains for a friend's baptism…in the river!

We climbed down the riverbank, over some rocks, and perched right next to the water. It was freezing, but what a wonderful way to celebrate her commitment to Christ. She told us, "Today I'm dying and I'm coming to life in Jesus."

What I admire about my friend is that she's all in. She doesn't do anything halfway. So she and her pastor donned their wetsuits, got into the frigid water, and went under. Seconds later, she came up a new person.

We could have stayed in the office and kept working, but how much better to get out in God's beautiful creation and rejoice together. It's an amazing privilege to celebrate moments like that with friends, and it's what makes life exciting.

"You're the line in the sand when I've gone too far," describes perfectly Mark Gungor's theory of marriage and a women's role in it. He believes that the breakdown in marriages is because women quit being the line in the sand for men.

You’re part comedian, part marriage counselor, and part pastor. Where and how did Laugh Your Way to a Better Marriage begin?

Mark:    I’m a pastor first. I pastor a church of about 3000 people in Green Bay, Wisconsin. From there it spilled into talking about marriage and family and just kept spilling. My whole thing is just practical advice. I think marriage problems are ...

In the new film Conflict: The Power of Propaganda (Joe Israel Productions), director Chris Atkins goes behind the headlines and past the media bias against Israel to present a fair and realistic picture of what is actually happening in the Middle East. The fast-paced documentary exposes the rampant propaganda and challenges viewers to recognize the calculated deception and its ties to both extremism and terrorism on a global scale.

Dove Review

A highly entertaining movie with a powerful message of hope and peace.

Joshua - DVD

Dove Review:
I read Joshua, the first book of the multi-million-selling novel series, just prior to seeing this film. Under the direction of Jon Purdy, the novel penned by priest-turned-novelist, Fr. Joseph F. Girzone is an enchanting cinematic story.

The movie version of "Joshua" is spiritual but not preachy, provocative without being gross, entertaining without taking the low road that so many filmmakers feel compelled to travel. All in all, Joshua is a highly entertaining movie with a powerful spiritual message of hope and peace. Audiences of all ages will enjoy this film. Mark my word; you’ll love Joshua, the man and the movie.
