As parents of 7 sons, Hal and Melanie Young have plenty of experience with raising boys, and their book Raising Real Men (see our review here) is both biblical and practical. If you’ve heard them speak, you know that their workshops and webinars are just as helpful, and we’re excited about this giveaway. Three winners will get free admission to an online “boot camp” of their choice — Boyhood Boot […]

Third Place Bible Drama Video
Our third place award goes to “A Certain Man,” submitted by Maryann K. There’s so much to like about this video. We love how the drama flows right along with the music and illustrates the words of Scripture so well. Filming outdoors gives extra realism (and so does having a real horse in your cast!). The acting is well done, and we’ve enjoyed watching this one over and over again. […]

Read More →Nine Benefits of Trials
As a thirty-year-old dad of four little kids, I consider my trials insignificant when compared to the hardships of others I know. Some people deal with demanding leadership roles, persistent health issues, and life-threatening diseases on a daily basis. My trials are small things like getting up to help a sick child in the middle of the night, picking up toys and books off the floor, or those times when I […]

Book review by Daniel Forster I loved Raising Real Men by Hal and Melanie Young. When I heard that they were writing another book, this time on marriage, I knew it would be good. They were kind enough to give us a preview copy of My Beloved and My Friend, and since the book comes out soon (on Valentine’s Day), I wanted to share my review here. Just like their […]
Read More →Announcing: The Doorposts Bible Drama Contest!
When I was growing up, many Sunday afternoons were spent re-enacting the crossing of the Red Sea, Gideon’s attack on the Midianites, the Philistines being struck down by Samson (usually my little brother Benjamin) with his stuffed-sock “jawbone,” and more. Now my own children are just starting to discover the fun of acting out Bible stories! Today we want to launch an exciting event that will inspire you and your […]

Last month, I had the honor of spending two weeks with Pastor Sujoy and his family in India. I and the others on my mission team worked beside him teaching computer and English classes, caring for kids, teaching them about the Bible, and sharing the gospel with villagers in the beautiful Sundarban Islands. Pastor Sujoy, a stocky, serious, yet cheerful man, is the driving force behind multiple Christian ministries in […]

Last month, I went on a trip to India, along with my brother and sister and a group from our church. We spent twelve days serving along side the Bengali Christians at the Grace Community Centre in Kolkata. The first two days were spent teaching computer and English classes and helping with GCC’s daycare ministry. A leaky boat then took us on a three-day excursion to the Sundarban Islands, stopping […]
