I just recently watched the new movie “Pilgrims Progress: Journey to Heaven” based on John Bunyan’s classic novel. I must say that it was worth the time! It has a modern adaptation to fit the times but stays true to the classic in content. It convicted me (once again) to get back on the narrow path (Matthew 7:13,14) and not get distracted by “Worldly Wise” or the many other traps that keep us from reaching the “Celestial City”.

Family Friendly: YES (my boys loved it)

Content: 5 stars (just like the classic)

Special effects: 3 stars (Wasn’t like a Star Wars movie, but it wasn’t bad either)

A must see for the whole family!

This week’s prize is the new book by Newt
Gingrich “Drill Here, Drill Now, Pay Less“

On September 25th, 1775, this American Patriot was captured by
the British after an ill-timed attack on the British-controlled city
of Montreal.  He was imprisoned in England for more than two
years until being returned to the United States on May 6th, 1778, as
part of a prisoner exchange. Following his release, he returned to
his home of Vermont and spent the rest of his life petitioning the
Continental Congress to grant statehood to Vermont. He is probably
better know for his leadership of the “Green Mountain Boys” and his
role in capturing Fort Ticonderoga to which he demanded surrender
from the British commander “in the name of the Great Jehovah and the
Continental Congress.” Name this Patriot.   Submit Answer Here!!!!
