Spitfire Grill

by Steve Ray on July 21, 2007

If you haven't watched this movie, especially if you're a Catholic family, then set aside some time to watch it together. It is about 11 years old now but we just watched it and were again impressed with the story, the emotion and the message. Percy has just been released from prison and stops to [...]

Sophie Scholl

by Steve Ray on April 11, 2007

Several months ago we recommended a film called The Ninth Day in which a Catholic priest is released from Dachua for nine days. Now I would recommend a movie in a similar vein called Sophie Scholl: the Final Days. It is a true story; at least it is a dramatization of the final days of [...]

Titanic Mistake — by Deal Hudson

by Steve Ray on March 3, 2007

With the Discovery Channel's tragic show on Sunday, it is good for Christians to arm themselves with the truth — reality and archaeology — not nonsense and amateurism. Deal Hudson's article Titanic Mistake is worth reading, printing, and giving to others who will be effected by this unfortunate "documentary."
