C. S. Lewis Through the Shadowlands

This is the BBC film starring Joss Ackland and Claire Bloom. Winner of over a dozen prestigious awards including the International Emmy for Best Drama and two British Academy Awards.

He cried out, "Where is God when I really need him?" This film is about the agonizing spiritual crisis of C.S. Lewis when his wife died from cancer. The love, grief, pain, and sorrow were so shattering to Lewis that his basic Christian beliefs, magnificently communicated in his many books, were now called into serious doubt.

But he picked up the pieces and moved out of the depressing "shadowlands," realizing that "real life has not even begun yet."

New Beverly Lewis Book in the Library

The Forbidden (published May 1, 2008) by Beverly Lewis has been added to the Library. This is Book #2 in a new series - The Courtship of Nellie Fisher. This book can be found in the New Book Rack in the Library. Book #1, The Parting is also in the Library.

New DVD Movie for Children

Big Idea’s Jonah: A Veggietales Movie (2002) has been added to the Video Section of the Library. This film turns the characters from the biblical story of Jonah into a bunch of talking cucumbers, asparagus, peas, and other vegetables. When God instructs the prophet Jonah to go to the wicked city of Ninevah to spread His word, Jonah balks and tries to flee by ship--only to end up in the belly of a whale. When he finally consents to go to Ninevah, things don't turn out quite the way he expects.

The Gift by Richard Paul Evans

The Bible says that God has chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty. This story is about one of God’s weak things. His name is Collin, a frail, beautiful little boy with a very special gift.

What if you discovered your child had the power to heal people, but it made him sick and could even cost him his life?
What if someone came to you for help because their child was dying?
Knowing that there are people who would do anything for your child’s power, would you ever tell anyone?
What if someone found out about his power?
