And yet, there are mysteries about the author and these seven stories that have confounded scholars and fans for nearly half a century.Enter Michael Ward, who takes us inside the pages of Lewis’s masterpiece and discovers a “secret imaginative key”—THE NARNIA CODE.

Heart of the Code
So many are captivated by C. S. Lewis’s famed Chronicles of Narnia. There is something about these books. If you want to discover what the code is then this is an in depth documentary for you. I will say that this is not a DVD for children. It's well done but so in depth that my husband fell asleep. However, it still was very intersting and I'm glad we watched the rest of it the following night. This would make a good gift for Narnia fan in your life.

Gift of Love- A Christmas Story and Art Lesson

1 Corinthians 4:6 For God, who said, "Let light shine out of dark-ness," made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.

The Gift of Love, Drawing Children to Him, A See The Light Series DVD tells the birth of Jesus in an inspiring way through art! Your child will able to have an art lesson so that they will be able to create a manger scene using colored pencils.

My daughter just loved the art lessons and we had to hit pause so that she could give it a try. I am always looking for good Christian Christmas shows to watch. It has been a struggle to find ones appropriate for a five year old. So, I am very happy with this beautiful DVD and will now be happily adding it to our Christmas list of shows to watch.

There is contemporary music performed by recording artists Jan Roper and Kevin Dukes that plays, while you watch Gloria Kohlman draw. I would recommend this to anyone with children. It is a lovely and educational video.
