Book Review: Worship Walk by Gareth J Goossen

What does " worship " mean to you? When you hear the word "worship," do you only think of singing songs of praise in church? This book shows readers that worship is much more than music; worship should entwine every aspect of our life. It's meant to be an everyday activity...a consistent way of walking with our God, not reserved for just a Sunday schedule. Does your love and passion for God grow cold or distant? Do you feel like you're walking alone through drought and storm? It's time to soak in God's presence, really worship Him, and connect with Him intimately. The book covers the essence of worship, the cost of worship, the sacrifice of worship, and various ways to worship God in our daily walk with Him. From his wealth of experience, the author shares his insightful thoughts and offers practical ideas/steps for readers to try. He does a wonderful and thorough job at helping readers gain a right understanding of worship and develop a lifestyl

DVD Review: Season of A Lifetime

Faith. Family. Football. Season of A Lifetime is an inspirational documentary about Jeremy Williams, head football coach of Greenville Patriots high school team, who is determined to persevere through his terminal illness of ALS (aka Lou Gehrig's disease). ALS stands for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. It's a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord.

This film follows Jeremy Williams around as he leads and motivates his football team through a tough 2010 season, in the midst of his own battle with ALS. Jeremy's faith in God has kept him going through all the storms of life. He also has a loving support from his family. He's married to his high-school sweetheart and they have one daughter and one son who is stricken with spina bifida. His players love and respect him not only as their coa

DVD Review: CAMP

CAMP is a must-see film inspired by true stories from camps for abused, neglected, and abandoned children. It's the story about a troubled, physically abused, biting ten-year-old boy, Eli and a self-absorbed, career-minded, cell phone-addicted investment advisor, Ken, who get paired at a summer camp for foster kids and learn the true meaning and the healing power of unconditional love. At first, Ken (Eli's counselor) struggles to connect with Eli. Eli is filled with anger, distrust, and shame, haunted by his past. Once Ken stops complaining and starts caring instead, things begin to turn around.        Raw. Powerful. Absolutely inspiring and touching! I was totally captivated from the beginning to the end. And I cried more than once. I really enjoyed the movie and loved all the different characters (campers and counselors). There's even a cool surprise near the end of the movie :). It's incredible how one week of camp can make such an enormous impact on the lives o
