The Lorax – WORLD goes to the movies and says “The Lorax proves to be a bonanza at the box office, and for liberal groups wanting to indoctrinate children.”

Monergism Books – Monergism Books has a good selection of items available at 50% off for just a short time. Be sure to check out Gospel-Powered Parenting, and When People Are Big and God Is Small.
