Just got back last night from the NRB Conference in Nashville. Dillon, Deborah and I really enjoyed it. We met with publishers to discuss some book ideas and got to know some truly amazing, Christ-centered people in the radio and TV industry. We enjoyed hearing some great speakers and musicians, especially speakers Phil Vischer (of Veggie Tales fame), recording artist Steve Camp, and Mark Zoradi (from Disney Corporation). Among the highlights, we also:
-Met Dr. James Dobson on the elevator
-Had the opportunity to hear President George W. Bush speak on Tuesday
-Watched sneak previews of Prince Caspian and The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, the next two movies in the Narnia series
-Heard some hilarious Christian comedians, including Leland Klassen (my favorite)
-Heard several fantastic musicians, including the brilliant classical guitarist Christopher Parkening, Christian recording artists Michael W. Smith and Michael English, and several great bands, including 33 Miles, Austin's Bridge, and Mike's Chair (a new band I liked a lot. The electric violin was a cool touch.)
-Met Stephen Kendrick, an amazing Christian filmmaker
-Were interviewed for NBC (asked to comment on the President's address)
AND MORE! But probably the greatest highlight was finding out that Dillon Burroughs and John Ankerberg's latest book, What Can be Found in LOST, just made the Christian bestseller list! We spent a lot of time sharing with people about the book and explaining the spiritual significance of certain elements of the TV show. This show and the book have really struck a chord with readers.
What Can be Found in LOST is available at your local Christian bookstore as well as at Barnes & Noble, Borders, and other major retailers. To order the book on Amazon or to read more about it, check out the following link:

Glad you had such a great time, and all the better that it was so productive.
ResponderEliminarThanks so much, Tina! It was a lot of fun, and a very rewarding time. How are you doing? Any news in your neck of the woods?

Oh Tina, how were the Prince Caspian clips? I am really anticipating this film, especially since I loved the first one (LWW). I think Ben Barnes is so perfect for the role of Prince Caspian.
