Hey Supporters, remember last year when I challenged you to read a chapter of Proverbs each day for a year? Well if you did (and even if you didn’t), I have the perfect game for you: Wisdomantics. Wisdomantics combines the competitiveness / game strategy of Monopoly, King Solomon-focused Bible trivia, and opportunities for authenticity and relationship-building. Specifically, Wisdomantics–New King James Version (NKJV) is an interactive DVD board game for players of various faiths who desire to gain the vast wisdom of King Solomon. Wisdomantics-NKJV utilizes the proverbs of Solomon and blends chance, knowledge and strategy to create a fun experience while you learn! The game’s intent is to bring individuals together to learn how to cope with numerous situations in a fun and relaxed environment. Inside the box you’ll find 2 interactive DVDs with 400 questions, score cards, blessing cards, and more! In order to play this game, you have to have a dvd player. Once setup, you select one of 400 questions. Once the question is selected, the player has 30 seconds to read the question, answers, choose the answer, and click their guess. Since the questions are not read out loud, you will need to read quickly in order to be able to answer the question before time is up. If you pick the correct answer, you’ll see the King Solomon (who reads the verse out loud) and be instructed to take a card. If you do not get it right the first time, there are two more chances to get the question right. The goal of the game is to collect three different color tiles in order to build Solomon’s temple. There are no dice in this game, instead you move around to board with advancement cards. The spaces on the board allow you to gather the tiles you need to build the temple. In addition, there are “Praise Report” “Detention Chambers” and “Prayer Request.” To say this game is overwhelming initially will be an understatement. However, there is a youtube video that breaks down how to play and once you get the hang of it, it is quite fun. In addition, you can play this game with just the DVD as sort of like Trivia Pursuit. If you play the game like Trivia Pursuit, you can play with teams.

Hey Supporters,
I was recently asked to review For Such a Time as This, a Christian Children’s Book that covers the women in the Bible. In fact, this book covers 40 different women. Of course, this book covers the well know women in the Bible, but is also cover lesser known women such as Gomer and Tabitha, and even several women that the Bible mentions but does not name. What I love about this book, is that it stays true to what the Bible says about women. While I am not a Biblical scholar, I could not find where For Such a Time as This conflicted with the Bible. In terms of use, I recommend using For Such a Time as This for the tween age range. Specifically, I think this book would be great for a tween to read with an adult. I am a big believer in reading to and with children even after they can read independently. The thing that makes For Such a Time as This a great book for tweens is that each Bible story ends with a He/Me/She section. The “He” section explains one of God’s traits and why that trait is important. The “Me” section provides the adult with a few discussion points on the story in order to help the child figure out how the story applies to them (i.e., me). Finally, the “She” section offers a prayer that the adult can pray with the child, after reading the story. Family Christian Stores sponsored this giveaway by providing me with a free copy of For Such a Time as This. In addition, they are blessing one lucky reader will win a $25 Certificate to Family Christian. This giveaway will end December 26th at 12:00 AM EST. The winner will have 48 hours to respond to my email. If no response, a new winner will be chosen. Open to residents of the US/CAN. Well that is all for now, please continue to pray for me and know I am praying for you. Corine P.S.

The Veggie Tales was originally created by Phil Vischer. Therefore, when I heard Phil had a new cartoon series out. What’s In the Bible, I jumped at the chance to review one of his DVDs. I was told that the purpose of the What’s In the Bible is to teach adults and children how the stories we are familiar with (i.e., creation, Moses, Noah, David, and Jesus) all fit together to tell one big, redemptive story. The DVD I reviewed in entitled What’s In The Bible: Jesus is the Good News. This is volume 10 of 13 volume series. What’s In The Bible: Jesus is the Good News includes (2) 25-minute episodes: God’s Perfect Timing & The Messiah Has Come! God’s Perfect Timing shows as Buck Denver, the puppet news reporter, and his crew learn about the 400 years between the Old and New Testaments and how Jesus arrives at just the perfect time. I really liked the first episodes because it answered a lot of questions about what happened between the Old and New Testament that adults and children have. As you probably guessed, The Messiah Has Come teaches about the life and ministry of Jesus. It covers Jesus’ Miracles, Healings & Teachings, The Last Supper, Jesus’ Arrest and Trial, Jesus’ Crucifixion and Resurrection, and Jesus’ Ascension. Consistent with all of Phil creations, there is a catchy theme song and great animations. The thing that I really love about this new series is that it is Bible base and theologically sound. The DVD comes with a family discussion guide and covers the material in-depth. Therefore, I think this makes a great resource to use as a family devotional or Bible study time. I would not recommend this DVD as a “baby sister DVD” (I pray you know what I am referring to when I use that term). I am literally planning on stopping by my local Family Christian Store today to see if I can pick out a few more title in this series. Both Amazon and Family Christian Stores have these DVDs on sales for less that $10. Note: Giveaway open to US and Canada residents only. Only one entrant per mailing address, per giveaway. If you have won the same prize on another blog, you are not eligible to win it again. Winner is subject to eligibility verification.

Hey Supporters, wanted to tell you about something a little different today: folk music. Some describes folk music at the salt of the earth music and I recently discovered a wonderful CD by Jim Hendricks entitled Appalachian Holiday. Jim Hendrick is considered one of the leaders of folk music. Folk music is as busy as the people who create it and it changes and flows like the streams of the mountains. Jim Hendrick mastered several instruments and has a way of pairing the melodies and harmonies. He can play guitar, mandolin, and the autoharp. This means that his music is soulful and alive. The wonderful thing about Jim is that he has experience writing music beyond the genre of folk music. He has written country music and contemporary Christian. His music really pleases the ear. His Christmas CD Appalachian Holiday is an old take on Christmas favorites. It contains fun songs, such as “Over the River and Through the Woods,” and traditional hymns, such as “O Holy Night.” It even contains songs such as “Coventry Carol.” These songs are beautifully imagined in the harmony of plucked strings. There are no distractions, just beautiful music. In my experience, Christmas music can be a bit over the top. It seems as if the songs don't change much over the years, and each song has been sung by every artist, dead and alive. The beauty of this CD is that I brings the music back to itself. It reminds us to bring Christmas back to itself. The music cuts through all of the excess and all of the glamour of the season and reminds us to just listen. The strings sing together to create memories of Christmas past and future. Appalachian Holiday is also comforting. I can imagine listening to it in front of a crackling fire beside a life Christmas tree. It takes me back to the essence of Christmas. The pleasure of this music is in the music itself. It brings out the beautiful simplicity of the melody and reminds us of the beautiful simplicity of Christmas. This CD is essential for your Christmas music collection. This CD will be the one that you will grab on cold nights with dim lighting. It will also be the CD that you grab when you are tired of all of the modern versions of the songs that you have heard over and over. This CD is the chicken soup of the music world. It's not the fanciest version around. It doesn't have all of the flash and marketing of the modern music, but Jim Hendricks manages to create a sound that keeps you warm and soothes your soul. Family Christian Stores sponsored this giveaway by providing me with a free copy of the CD. In addition, they are blessing one lucky reader will win a $10 Certificate to Family Christian. This giveaway will end December 15th at 12:00 AM EST. The winner will have 48 hours to respond to my email. If no response, a new winner will be chosen. Open to residents of the US/CAN. Well that is all for now, please continue to pray for me and know I am praying for you. Corine P.S. The kindle version of Why We Give Gifts at Christmas Time and What is Love is on sale for $1.99 (that is a 30% saving) until December 8, 2014 |
