WE WELCOME YOU TO OUR INAUGURAL ISSUE OF ‘CER’ F BY STEPHANIE PRANGE inding safe and satisfying entertainment for a Christian home can be difficult in a market driven by rampant consumerism. With our inaugural issue of Christian Entertainment Review, produced in partnership with marketing consulting company Christian Entertainment Review Inc., we hope to develop a venue that will help you navigate these waters and pick DVDs that offer secure entertainment for the family. We’ve assembled a slate of contributing reviewers (see page 6), including pastors and other Christian experts, to offer their insight on upcoming DVD releases and guide you through the titles’ pleasures and pitfalls. There’s also a listing of appropriate upcoming DVD releases on page 20. Our featured interview is with renowned Christian writer Lee Strobel, whose bestselling book The Case for Christ comes out in DVD form this month. We’ve also profiled a leading Christian bookseller, Parable Christian Stores, that has been serving the community for two decades. “Barney” veterans Jon Green and Dennis DeShazer talk about their focus on the underserved Christian preschool market (page 13). We hope CER will prove a valuable resource in serving your entertainment needs. Stephanie Prange’s e-mail address is sprange@questex.com.
