To Save a Life - Review

Over the weekend I saw the movie To Save a Life. For those who have not yet heard of it, it is an Indie movie, meaning it was made by a company that is not strictly Christian. The film does have a Christian theme. It is the story of young man who has it all: popularity, a pretty girlfriend, basketball stardom, a free ride scholarship to one of the top basketball universities in the nation, and a wealthy family. Despite all this, something is missing in this picture: his childhood best friend. The young man's world is shaken when that abandoned best friend commits suicide in front of him. He not only comes to Christ, but learns what it means to follow Him. This movie remains an Indie film by not mentioning the word "Jesus", but it does cover everything teens go through today: drinking, drugs, pregnancy, suicide, cutting, posing, the need to be loved, divorce, and abortion. Although this film gets pretty heavy, it inspires viewers to overcome those issues with God's help. Uncomfortable for some, but relevant for many. Not recommended for younger viewers, but a must see for many teens.

Music Review - Phil Wickham's Heaven and Earth

Phil Wickham

My Head in a Jar and Vice-Versa

The Long Fall Back To Earth has been playing non-stop in the Music Department for the last two days.

It's a good album.

Jars of Clay seems to reinvent themselves with every album. That used to annoy me, but I'm sure they were more annoyed by people telling them to go back to the sound from their first album, so I guess everything is fair.

One thing that doesn't change is the fact that they make great music. Set against an 80's style backdrop, The Long Fall covers some familiar themes, but doesn't feel as weighty as their last album, Good Monsters. If you only buy twelve albums this year, The Long Fall Back To Earth would be a good addition to your collection.

And I don't want to ruin any surprises, but we have it on sale right now too.
