Deliver Us from Evil - Movie Review

Deliver Us from Evil - Must See Horror Movie!

Do You Enjoy Horror Movies?
Frankly, I do not. So I was surprised when I was lead to this horror movie based on the true life of an NYPD decorated police sergeant - Ralph Sarchie.

Note: Posts on this blog often have referral links that will help our authors eat when you use them. Thank you!
Based on the book that Sargent Sarchie wrote, Deliver Us from Evil: A New York City Cop Investigates the Supernatural, the movie does veer a little from his actual experiences as highlighted in some of his interviews. For example, he wants to make it very clear that he never killed anyone - not even accidentally.

Free Scripture Writing Guide!

Just got this in my in box from iBelieve. Perhaps it is something that will interest you too.

Why Write Scripture?

Scripture writing plans are incredibly simple, yet incredibly effective for helping us read, interpret and absorb the Word of God. Rather than simply letting our eyes pass over a verse and perhaps miss its full meaning, writing Scripture down helps us absorb each word and really think through what the passage before us is saying. ~ i Believe
