On This Day in Christian History

This book is intended to be read daily as a devotional or other such reading. I read it over the course of several days and it was very interesting to hear the stories of many of the forefathers of the church. Many of the stories were new to me, and I was interested in how they portrayed the Christian faith in a new and different way.
I would say that as a devotional book it would be decent, but not my favorite thing to study from. As an informational book about other Christian's and their lives and walks with Christ it would be great! I enjoyed reading the book. I liked the way it was set up and how it was organized. I would reccommend this book for anyone wanting to hear stories of other Christians or to learn more about what a radical life with Christ should or could look like.

Adventures in Booga Booga Land

This movie contained three Biblical stories acted out by a giraffe and a monkey. The show contained some very entertaining and funny material, but I am not sure that it followed the Biblical stories as closely as it could have. I was interested in the way they told the stories and what they wanted to teach the children who will be watching them.  Over-all I do not think they were bad movies, but I do think they had a problem with making a point of what the story was. Sometimes I felt like it wa sin the background and didn’t mean anything for the plot of the story.  I would not recommend this product to others, because I did not think that it told the Biblical stories well enough (this is something that is very central for me).
