The apostle Paul exhorted Timothy to set an example for all young men to follow: “therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ” (II Tim. 2:3). Bible Lessons from the Battlefield of My Father’s Youth is a discipleship tool for dads and their sons. Filled with biblical lessons of real-life manhood that arise from the World War II battle for Iwo Jima, these messages tell the story of fighter planes, amphibious assaults, foxholes, cave warfare, and flamethrowers-elements that helped forge one man’s mission of father-to-son discipleship.

Taking real battlefield scenarios, these talks show fathers specific areas that need to be covered during a son’s discipleship journey as ”soldiers of the cross,” and provide practical advice for dads on how they can wisely encourage their sons to lead courageously, understand and embrace the gospel, handle friendships, devote oneself to the church, flee immorality, take on mighty challenges, trust in the sovereign hand of God, handle trials, and not waste their youth. It’s about discipling sons to be truly great boys, and someday men, by using real-life, action-packed examples to explain what God has said in Scripture. Best to use as a joint father and son devotional.

The Jamestown Quadricentennial: A Celebration of Our Providential History was the most significant and far reaching event in the history of Vision Forum Ministries. Designed to be a distinctively Christian birthday party which took the best of the great traditions of centennial celebrations past, the event exceeded all of our expectations for its beauty and power as a testimony of the mighty hand of God in history. May the Lord Jesus Christ be praised for His loving kindness and His mercies.

Over the course of the week celebrants dedicated an historic monument, attended more than twenty-five lectures and reenactments. They watched “The Marriage of Pocahontas,” met the grandson of the tenth President of the United States, shook hands with President Theodore Roosevelt, and dialogued with Princess Pocahontas. Some of them searched for answers to an historic mystery, and one of those treasure hunting sleuths became the “Fifth Trustee” and heir to a cache of four hundred gold coins. Celebrants listened to the blast of the cannons, the sounds of fifes and drums, and they gathered under the evening sky for a simply spectacular fireworks display.

But more than anything else, the families in attendance were able to take a week of their lives to stop, rejoice, give thanks to the Lord, and praise the name of Jesus Christ for his many mercies in the life of our God-blessed nation.
