Family Fun
Many children of today view heroes as sports figures, famous rock
musicians, and other entertainment figures. It is up to us to teach
them that true heroes might be just ordinary folks who, with the help
of God, do extraordinary things. People like their Moms and Dads,
ministers, public servants, the kind person who takes time for
children.
Growing up, we may have longed to be heroes fighting the bad guys and
saving the princess, but as we grew older, we learned that being a
hero in the real world is much more complicated. Who are the good
guys and who are the bad? What's really worth fighting for?
From Big Idea, the creators of VeggieTales, comes The Pirates Who
Don't Do Anything - A VeggieTales Movie opening in theaters January
11, 2008. This family-friendly movie teaches kids and adults that
God has an adventure for all of us and if we respond to His call,
He'll give us everything we need to be the hero we've always longed
to be. It stars Larry the Cucumber, Pa Grape and Mr. Lunt as three
wannabe pirates who long to be heroes in the eyes of their family and
others around them.
We at AFA highly recommend this delightful adventure to parents. Take
your children to see the movie and afterwards spend time discussing
with them what it means to be a real hero in this world. Click here

Veggie Tales Movie.
