Dear friends

To win in a battle we need to be equipped, trained and battle-ready. I remind you the a major offensive against the Christian faith which begins on May 18. The Da Vinci Code film will undoubtedly sway many. (40 million copies of the book in 44 languages have already been sold, and countless more people will view the film.) In addition to previous resources I have mentioned, here are a few more good ones:

Something quite exciting is what the Sydney Anglicans are doing. They have prepared ads to screen along with the film when it features at cinemas across the country. Isn’t that a great idea? View their DVC ministry here: http://www.sydneyanglicans.net/mission/resources/challengingdavincicom/

There are also some good DVDs around, especially these two:

The Da Vinci Code Deception. (With Darrell Bock, Edwin Lutzer, James Garlow, etc.) Grizzly Adams Productions, 2005. Discussing the Da Vinci Code. (With Lee Strobel, Garry Poole) Zondervan, 2005.

The first can be purchased at most good Christian bookstores. (Koorong is selling it for just $15.) The second can be obtained from the good folk at Church Resource Specialties: http://www.crsonline.com.au/crs_r_Information.asp?rID=0310272637

Finally, also from Sydney, Greg Clarke of Matthias Media has a new book and DVD on the DVC as well: http://www.matthiasmedia.com.au/

Please make use of some of these excellent resources. The world desperately needs to hear the truth about Jesus. For many people in this category, often the only one to reach them will be you. Will you stand up and be counted? Please be prepared to enter into this most strategic of battles.

Thanks
