Our new company name is Page Three Productions, but I am clueless as to how to edit that on the header. Every time I click 'edit" it just gives me the option to change the photos and address etc..

Christ Pres Academy’s new theater is really amazing. State of the art stuff. Saw The Hiding Place there today presented by The Rabbit Room theater group and it was great. I highly recommend seeing it in the next week if you can. Of course it’s a sad story but ultimately redemptive. (Hint: if you sign up to be an usher or scan tickets or work concessions you can see it for free and save a hundred bucks or so)
I like to think since I paid four years’ tuition for my daughter there that I probably paid for a few of these seats at least!

In this interview, Brian talks about the challenges of taking Lee Strobel's well-researched tome and making it a feature film with engaging characters and a great story, rather than a PBS-style series.

I've always loved teaching the workshop on Writing Your Life Stories at Brentwood and Nashville Libraries and other places. I obviously loved writing my own essay collection, "Disposable Thoughts," so I thought I would start a blog/podcast where I hope to interview other authors, and offer helpful articles on writing essay and memoir, and eventually maybe develop an online course download. So here it is. https://tellingyourlifestories.com/

If there were ever any doubts, as there was in 2003 with Passion of the Christ, and again in 2008 with Fireproof, as to whether the spike in faith-based film viewership is an anomaly or a temporary fad, the activity over the past two months should put them to rest. USA Today recently ran this story on the popularity of the genre. [ 407 more words ]

It may not be the biggest budget Christian film of the year, but it very well may be the most important.

The film features a live rendition of the song of the same name performed by the Newsboys and a cameo appearance by Willie and Korie Robertson of the hit A & E series, Duck Dynasty.
