Free Software: Get Lost in Jerusalem (BiblePlaces Blog)

Thu, 03 Jul 2008 21:33:00 GMT

Some years ago Zondervan released a educational game on CD called " Get Lost in Jerusalem ." The goal of the game was to navigate through the Old City of Jerusalem with the help of clues. Many American students were particularly delighted to find that "home base" in the game is the shop of the famous Shaban (photo at right). The copyright on the game has now reverted to its creator, Ted Hildebrandt,...

Found in my archives (Devas T. Rants and Raves!)

Thu, 19 Jun 2008 20:19:00 GMT

Today I found this old video on my hard drive. Originally, it was a promotional piece for the book I illustrated, The Legend of the Valentine . It was about 7 years ago when Zondervan flew a multimedia person to Austin from Grand Rapids Michigan, to film me working in my studio. The disc was then mailed to thousands of bookstores around the country. Funny, it never did work for me. But now with...

Book note: The Expeditionary Man, by Rich Wagner (Suitable For Mixed Company)

noreply@blogger.com (Kathryn Judson) — Sat, 14 Jun 2008 03:05:00 GMT

I haven't seen a copy of the book yet, but I was over on the Zondervan website looking something else up and noticed it there. The write-up looks interesting : As a Christian man, how do you prioritize between what you are driven to do at work and church with what you are responsible for at home? Rich Wagner debunks the myth of a “balanced life” and shares a biblical model of becoming a hands-on...

The BBC is reporting that the Indian state of Maharashtra plans to construct a statue on an artificial island off the coast of Bombay (HT: Zondervan> To the Point ). “The statue will be of the Maratha warrior king Shivaji, considered a hero in Maharashtra for his defiance of Mughal and British forces.” The officials apparently have in mind a rival for the American Statue of Liberty: “Vishal...

Slavery and True Liberty (Pulpit Magazine)

(by John MacArthur) The following is excerpted from the new material in John's revised edition of The Gospel According to Jesus (Zondervan, 2008). Understood correctly, the gospel is an invitation to slavery. When we call people to faith in Christ, we need to stress that fact in the same way Jesus did. On the one hand, the [...]
