What is the book about?

The back cover says the following: This book is meant to be an introduction only - a starting point to a biblical world view of the universe…Who knows what amazing truths are waiting to be discovered if only the shackles of secular thinking are removed.  Now is the time of discovery…

How did the book impact my faith?

Did the book leave me with questions or further reflection?

This month's book review is for the book "Praying the Bible" written by Donald Whitney

What is the book about?

All Christians know they should pray, but sometimes it's hard to know how - especially if the minutes start to drag, and our minds start to wander. Offering listeners hope, encouragement, and the practical advice they're looking for, this concise book by Professor Donald Whitney outlines a simple, time-tested method that can help transform our prayer lives: praying the words of the Bible. Praying the Bible shows listeners how to pray through portions of scripture one line at a time, helping us stay focused by allowing God's word itself to direct our thoughts and words. Simple yet profound, this resource will prove invaluable to all Christians as they seek to commune with their Heavenly Father in prayer each and every day.

How did the book cause reflection on God’s commandments?

What connection did the subject matter have with Christian standards? 

How did the book impact my faith?

Did the book leave me with questions or further reflection?

This week’s film review is for the film “The Order of Rights”, which is produced by James Ball  and written by James Ball and Richard Cutting.

The Plot

The Order of Rights centers around Emma Stein, a pregnant single girl who has been advised by her mother to have an abortion. Despite the objection of the child's young Christian father, Ethan Carpenter, and his promise to help her, she decides to go ahead with the procedure. When Ethan and his family file a lawsuit on behalf of the child's right to life, the drama escalates as Emma's mother, Kerri, contacts a friend in the Associated Press. Before long, the case is mired in media frenzy. The court has to decide whether the child in Emma's womb is a person or not, and if so, if it is endowed with the unalienable rights as enumerated in the Declaration of Independence. The title, "Order of Rights" refers to the order in which the categories of rights are deliberately listed in the document: Life, Liberty and Pursuit of Happiness.

Review Questions

Does the plot glorify God? 

Does the film content glorify God through His Word: Use of Bible verses and adhere to His commandments?

What Christian standards does the film convey?

Does the film give glory and honour and thanks to God?

Did the film encourage my faith? 

What Reflections Did I Have?

Would I change anything about the film?
