    Review: THE DAY THE SUN STOOD STILL - Exciting Used Bookstore Find!

    A $3 book with a catchy title bought on a whim became the best book Ben has read all year! And definitely the best $3 he has spent in a long time…







    This book involves four giants of science fiction; spiritual ideas; a unique writing challenge; and so, so much more!!!

Christianity meets Sci-fi

This is a great podcast for anyone who loves science fiction. With a great cast of hosts you will get various opinions on all kinds of different aspects of science fiction(books, movies, video games, etc). Also, since this podcast is run by some very cool Christian men there are some great episodes about how faith and science fiction work together. Definitely an awesome podcast for the entire family!
