Ararat in LA
Posted by Serafim on Tuesday, November 24, 2009 at 9:58am
I hear that Disney is spending $250 million on setting up a new theme park based on Harry Potter. I thought the US was in recession but apparently there is still oodles of money around and some people will always find the cash to enjoy their particular brand of fantasy. I found the first HP book a good read. The prose was lean (just as I like it) and it was a clever story. It reminded me of Enid Blyton and her naughty pixies….not literally, but it had a simple ring about it. I would recommend HP as a fun read but not call it a classic. I don’t expect that Disney will turn my novel into a film that breaks the box office nor do I envisage a theme park, complete with a Russian SB-6 bi-plane and a concrete replica of Mt Ararat.

Believe the magick...?

A fast-paced historical adventure novel
Angie Sage, a British author tells her young readers to believe the magick..  Her aim to is bring the fun and excitement of magic into lives of her audience, not in a demonic sense but as a part of fantasy.  I believe that Christian children need to believe in the miraculous rather than the fantasy world of dragons, witches and apprentice sorcerers.  I also believe that my young readers need a challenge and to be aware that God does work in mysterious ways.  Do we believe that Our Lord fed the 5000?  Or was it simply a symbol of sharing.  When you read THE LANDING PLACE, you will know what my answer is.  I have personally witnessed the miraculous, the fragrance of holiness, the mystery of healing and repentance in the lives of those whom I serve as a priest and pastor in Seattle.

Fantasy is important in the lives of our children, but it needs to be Christian based.
