Prime Time Daniel

An Episcopalian minister(Aidann Quinn) and father finds himself going to his best friend, Jesus,  to helps him overcrome family challenges(gay son, drug dealing daughter for short,) church politics and his co-dependence of Vicadin, prescription painkillers. But here's the catch... Maybe Jesus is a figment of his drug induced imagination.

 

I'm a big fan of Aidann Quinn, so I will watch and pray that the show delivers. Premier date January 6, 2006.

 

There is a bit of controversy behind the show already. Belief.net setup a great poll that I would like to ask here. What is a good, Good Christian television show?

Landon's Libro-land

Conflicted with the Harry Potter series' magic references, but want your child to love to read and also learn about his place in Christ's world? R.K. Mortenson's Landon Snow may be your best bet. It's reminiscent of Alice in Wonderland and Disney's Beauty and the Beast, because of talking inanimate objects. Chock full or riddles and clues that your child will have to ponder over to solve( a good thing) like Dora the Explorer interactive. And what I liked most is that Landon's voice was clever and smart for his young age, which is quite true. My five-year-old talks on the phone with her five-year-old best friend, Tora, and their conversation is what I did when I was a tweenager. They are so ahead of us with diction.

 

As a book artist, I adored the uniqueness of the design of the book. It is small for a child to keep in his backpack or to carry in their hand. The paper that the story is printed on reminds me of the Strathmore paper I use to draw portraits on. Its a great texture and the cover art is incredibly beautiful like a Byzantine era  illuminated Gospel Book.

The Nativity, Master of Gerona, late 1200s
 

 

The design and the story creates what young people of that age are searching--the meaning of life and death, mystery, fantasy, direction and God.
