Quote from Mike Nawrocki
(Series creator and voice of Merle Squirrel)
I’m so excited for families to hear The Dead Sea Squirrels Season 1 soundtrack. The songs are fun and super catchy, but they also carry biblical lessons and themes that parents can feel good about. My hope
is that kids will want to sing them again and again, and that the truths in the lyrics will stay with them long after the music stops.”

 

 

Quote from Steve Taylor
(Animated series producer, performer and co-writer of “The Dead Sea Squirrels Theme Song”) “One of the joys of The Dead Sea Squirrels has been making music for kids that never feels like an
afterthought. We wanted every song to be funny, memorable and musically strong while still serving the story and the biblical truth at the heart of each episode. Having so many gifted friends lend their voices made the soundtrack even more special.”

Deadly Wilderness Showdown by Lisa Weaver

 

Hunted through the wilderness…can they survive animals and criminals?

He saved her once. He’ll risk everything to save her again. 

After surviving a brutal encounter with a sadistic serial killer, Abbie Renforth finds peace in the Maine wilderness. But peace turns to peril when a vengeful crime family brings their war to her doorstep, turning her sanctuary into a battlefield. 

Ethan Knight, the former detective who once saved her life, is reluctantly pulled back into the fray. Together they must outwit ruthless enemies and unravel a dangerous tangle of lies. Can they outmaneuver a merciless crime family and unearth the truth before their time runs out?

Deadly Wilderness Showdown is available at Amazon.

╰┈➤Book Details

 Genre: Inspirational Romantic Suspense

 Sub-genre: Christian Mystery/Suspense

 Language:English

 Pages: 20

 Paperback ISBN: 978-1335957863

Excerpt:

Abbie Renforth had witnessed more than her share of psyche-scarring moments in her former career as a photojournalist for an international news agency. She’d captured far too many heart-wrenching images in the aftermath of earthquakes, floods, wildfires and senseless crimes than she cared to remember. Some things, once seen, could never be unseen.

She’d experienced the worst the world had to offer—and not only in her professional life. Now, amid the wild and rugged beauty of Maine, where she’d retreated after losing her job and very nearly her life, she was experiencing the best.

Recalling how close she’d come to missing out on the chance to spend three months in this idyllic expanse of backcountry courtesy of a visiting artist program, she was grateful she’d overcome her hesitation. Fear had nearly kept her from saying yes when she’d first been offered the opportunity to take part in this once-in-a-lifetime experience. Since she’d been attacked, her formerly borderless comfort zone had shrunk to an anxiety-restricted microcosm. Nearly dying at the hands of a demented serial killer had a way of doing that to a person.

The Story of Everything with Amazon giveaway

 

Synopsis: 

The Story of Everything is a cinematic exploration of the cosmos that reveals the hidden hand behind our universe. From the precise laws that govern the stars to the intricate patterns found in every living cell, the film traces evidence of intentional design throughout nature. Whether examining distant star-forming clouds or the spiral structure of DNA, we discover a consistent signature woven into the fabric of existence.

 Inspired by Stephen C. Meyer’s bestselling book Return of the God Hypothesis, the cinematic documentary invites audiences to explore one of humanity’s oldest—and most consequential—questions: Does the evidence point to a universe shaped solely by blind chance, or is there evidence of purpose and design?

After a successful nationwide theatrical run that sparked conversation across faith, science, and culture, The Story of Everything is now available to purchase on Amazon Prime Video!

If you are a science and history buff then this documentary is for you. If you are interested in Biblical Creation then this documentary is for you. If you are interested in finding out the real truth about everything then this documentary is for you, but you must have an open mind to finding the real truth about it all. 

I love the two quotes from this documentary: 

    * "Behind everything there is an author."

    * "The universe bears everywhere the finger print of its Creator." 

I'm giving away a $10 Amazon giftcard. This giveaway is limited to US winners only please. Please leave a comment with a way for me to contact you in case you are the winner. I will draw a winner on Wed. June 24th.

The Sacred Thread with a $10 Amazon gift card giveaway

About the Series: The Sacred Thread is a cinematic documentary series exploring the Lord’s Prayer through the historical, cultural, geographical, and literary world in which Jesus first spoke it. Hosted by Brad Gray and featuring insights from scholars including N.T. Wright, the series takes viewers across biblical landscapes to uncover the deeper meaning and context behind one of the most well-known prayers in Scripture.  Through cinematic storytelling and accessible scholarship, the series invites audiences to see Scripture with fresh eyes and rediscover the richness, depth, and relevance of the Biblical text. Core Message: Most people know the Lord’s Prayer. Very few understand the world, language, and meaning behind it. The Sacred Thread takes viewers deep into the historical and cultural context of Scripture, helping audiences experience the Lord’s Prayer the way Jesus’ original audience would have heard it. This is not just another Bible study.  It’s a cinematic journey through the land, history, language, and deeper meaning of one of the most important prayers ever spoken. Angel continues to create thoughtful, high-quality series that make Scripture feel alive, relevant, and deeply personal. This series was a very thoughtful and reflective journey helping me to understand the historical, cultural, and geographical world of Jesus. It was a fresh and meaningful way to understand, reflect, and connection with God's Word. It brought Scripture to life in a really powerful way. It helped me understand the historical and cultural world of Jesus. It had a way of making familiar Bible passages feel brand new. This is a great series to watch with your spouse, family, or Bible study group.   There is a $10 Amazon giftcard giveaway. This giveaway is limited to US winners only. Please leave a comment letting me know you want to be entered in the giveaway with an email address so I can contact you if you are the winner. I will draw a winner on Tues. June 23rd.  *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *     #TheSacredThreadMIN #MomentumInfluencerNetwork IG: @streamingonangel FB: Streaming On Angel  Disclosure: Many thanks to Angel for providing a sample of the product for this review.

Just One More movie with $10 Amazion gift card giveaway

 About the Film:
Just One More follows Jess, a recovering addict struggling with shame, doubt, and the weight of
her past, whose life unexpectedly collides with Charles, a dying man praying that God would
use him “just one more” time. As their stories intertwine, Jess begins to discover forgiveness,
healing, and the hope to fight for a future beyond addiction.

This is an emotional, character-driven story about redemption, perseverance, and the
life-changing impact one person can have on another.
 

At its heart, Just One More is about choosing hope one more time, even when life feels
impossible.
 

This is the kind of movie that stays with audiences long after the credits roll.

 

This a movie of: 

    * Redemption - Nobody is beyond another chance.
    * Perseverance - Strength is often found in simply refusing to quit.
    * Hope - Even in difficult seasons, there is still a reason to keep going.
    * Family & Relationships - Healing, reconciliation, and the people who stand beside us matter.
    * Emotional Impact - A deeply moving story that resonates across generations.

I loved the core message of this movie: Everyone reaches a moment where they feel exhausted, defeated, or ready to quit. Just One More is about what happens when someone finds the courage to keep going anyway. This is a story about second chances. About redemption. About the people who fight for one more day, one more conversation, one more opportunity to make things right. Angel is bringing audiences a film that reminds people hope is still worth fighting for. 

Angel is doing what many studios have stopped doing. They are telling stories with emotional depth, hope, purpose, and heart. Just One More is not cynical entertainment. It is a film that leaves audiences encouraged, reflective, and inspired. This is high-quality storytelling with something meaningful to say.

Stream Just One More now on Angel and support stories that actually inspire. 

Join the Angel Guild and help bring more films like this to audiences everywhere.

Start streaming Just One More today on Angel.
