One of the topics I have frequently blogged about in the
past is the basics of discernment: what discernment is, why we need it, and
perhaps most of all, how we obtain it.
Last year I complied these thoughts and more in a curriculum for high school students called, Bearing the Sword: Developing Discernment through Scripture
& Story. Broken into fifteen five-day weeks, this first part walks through what is discernment, how we can practice it, and the biblical
definition of what is good. This is done through intensive Bible study and the
analysis of media, specifically pre-selected film clips.
To help promote this work, the Barn Door Book Loft is
graciously featuring the curriculum on their blog this weekend—Saturday, August
16th, and Sunday, August 17th. They asked some great questions, which pulled
together a nice snapshot of both my work and me as an author. Plus, if you
leave a comment there, you’ll be entered into a drawing for a free copy of a complete
pack of my curriculum: One manual, one workbook, one answer key, one media log,
and one DVD set, worth about $65. Of course, you could save yourself the agony of waiting and simply buy the books at my website or at Amazon.
Anyway, since being an author is a solitary occupation and
because this curriculum is self-published, I’m thrilled to have this
opportunity to talk about the things I’m passionate about—books and
discernment. So giveaway aside, I would love for you and your friends to stop
by this weekend and chat up a storm.
Meanwhile, check out all of the Barn Door Book Loft
blog—it is a treasure trove for book lovers!
