"Yes! That is a perfect example of what I was talking about. Thank you Leon. Narnia is amazing in it's broad appeal yet with just a bit of info it is suddenly laying out the Gospel. It's not blatant, but not offensively stealthy."
"I'm an artist who is very interested. Personally, I delight in seeing subtly and nuance in stories. I've always been drawn to the more "mainstream" with subtler Christian themes (or at least sneakily blatant) than the obviously blatant...if that…"
"Hi Ralph! I had a blast at the meeting! It was really amazing to hang out with fellow Christians who understand my geek side, definately not an everyday occurence :) Looking forward to coming again."
"I love looking at the work of other artists of all styles to get insperation such as various "art of" books or "best illustrators of _ year" books or various comic books, magazines, etc. I'll see a way that someone has used a medium and be inspired…"
Hi ya, I know you like Christian comics so I know you'll love The Word for WORD Bible Comic, (Unabridged, historically accurate graphic novel of the Bible with a high view of scripture. For ages 15+)
To complete the first book I need your help, as I am raising funds on Kickstarter. My passion is to get God's Word in full into the hands of young believer and unbelievers and comic lovers of all ages, in the hope they will come to really know God. Please check it out at the KS page, it's going well but I still need lots of backers so I hope as a CCAS member you'll please pledge to support this project...
Good to hang at the meeting. :) I hope your week has started off well. I took a trip to the Vineyard Laguna Niguel this weekend for some variety (I go to Saddleback regularly) and it was great. Nice change of pace. Have a great day.
Happy Thanksgiving! I'm Scott A. Shuford, one of the new Board members. I wanted to stop in and say thanks for being involved with CCAS! If you have any input or would like to be involved with anything in particular, please let me and Eric Jansen (Membership Coordinator for CCAS) know by contacting us both through the site. We'll be making several announcements in the coming weeks, so stay tuned. To see a bit more about me, check out my profile here on the site. I'm looking forward to getting to know you better.
Consider the words of C.S. Lewis:
"If there lurks in most modern minds the notion that to desire our own good and to earnestly hope for the enjoyment of it is a bad thing, I suggest that this notion has crept in from Kant and the Stoics and is no part of the Christian faith. Indeed, if we consider the unblushing promises of reward and the staggering nature of the rewards promised in the Gospels, it would seem that our Lord finds our desires, not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling around with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at sea. We are far too easily pleased."
HOLLY!!! It was great having you at the meeting. I hope you had a great time. There's nothing better than getting a bunch of comic book geeks together, who all happen to love the Lord! Needless to say, our humor is rather obscure.
Hello Holly!!! Welcome to the CCAS site. It was cool since meeting you at the CON!!! I pray that The Lord will continue to bless your creative exploits. Hope that you enjoy the fellowship.
take care,
What's up Holly!!! Welcome to the CCAS. Is was great meeting you at Comic Con. Though it was crowded, I and the rest of the group had a fun time. You have some excellent work on your site. Hopefully you'll be able to attend our Southern California meeting of the CCAS in September. Until then, may the Lord of our Savior Jesus Christ richly bless you and the works of your hands.
