Bible Study Filming

90 Minutes in Heaven Event
Featuring Don Piper
April 24th 1:00 to 5:30 p.m.
Parish Presbyterian Church
136 3rd St. Franklin, TN

We need you to be part of a very special event! Don Piper, author of the New York Times bestseller “90 Minutes in Heaven” will be taping a 7 session Bible study series on the subject of Heaven. And you can attend for free.

The event is next Friday, April 24th from 1 to 5:30 at Parish Presbyterian church, one block off the square in downtown Franklin at 136 3rd St. We’ll even give you a free autographed copy of the book for your time and effort. If you can attend, please email matt@franklinfilms.com to reserve your spot. Space is limited so contact matt today.

Don has an amazing story. He was crushed by a semi truck that crossed into his lane. Medical personnel declared him dead on the scene. While his body lay lifeless inside the ruins of his car, he experienced the glories of heaven. 90 minutes after the wreck, while a minister prayed for him, Piper miraculously returned to life on earth with only the memory of inexpressible heavenly bliss. His faith in God was severely tested as he faced an uncertain and grueling recovery. In this series he will share his life changing story and how it confirms what the Bible says about Heaven. And how our knowledge of heaven changes our perspective and joy for the future while we’re here on earth.

Please join Worthy Media, Franklin Films and Revell Publishing for this amazing event.

November Book Club Review

Hi everyone! I know long time no post. Unfortunately one graduate class combined with four children has kept me a little more busy than I would like. We had a great meeting with author Chris Coppernoll and discussed his book Providence. We also were able to pick up his latest book A Beautiful Fall. Chris was a great interview and we learned of the many different ministries he is involved in. I look forward to having him back sometime.
Be sure to make plans for our January 8th meeting with Sigmund Brouwer who has written a number of books for both adults and kids. We will discuss his book The Last Disciple which is a first in a historical fiction series. However, he writes all kinds of genre. His lates book is Broken Angel which is a suspense mixed in with some sci-fi. It also is so much more. It was a great read that made me think.
Sigmund also writes some great mysteries. I look forward to hearing from him. Feel free to invite some friends. We always have a great time. This is also a great way to support a christian authors writing ministry.
For those of you who were at our discussion of Nancy Rue's book Healing Stones her second in the series is out. I am half-way through it and it is a page turner.
She will be at Borders in Cool Springs on December 7 from 12-2 so stop by. Be sure to bring any 8-12 year old girls you have since she has written a 100 books for that age.
I'll be seeing you at book club. I plan on reading a lot over the holidays. How about you? Do you have a book your planning on reading besides The Last Disciple?
Let us know so we can see if we want to add it to our list.
