Noah – Here is the trailer for the Noah movie that will be released next year. I don’t remember all of that from the biblical story. However, it’s probably still more Bible-based than Heaven Is For Real which is also coming our way next year.

Effective Personal Evangelism – Jeremy Walker has completed his series of articles on effective personal evangelism. He gives us a lot to think about!
