“Lander’s Legacy stacks modern thrills and complex characters on a foundation of biblical what-ifs.”
—Lorehaven on Jan 20, 2023

Prince Caspian
“Pacing starts slow but creature lore grows in C. S. Lewis’s sequel, introducing practical tyrants and talking-beast politics into a Narnian resistance.”
—Lorehaven on Jan 13, 2023

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

Lorehaven on Mar 23, 2021 · No comments

This weekend the Realm Makers Bookstore continues on the road, featuring several Christian creators of fantastic stories.

Guests at Great Homeschool Convention in St. Louis can find the Realm Makers Bookstore booth at St. Charles Convention Center.

Realm Makers Bookstore offers a curated collection of speculative fiction from Christian authors. The bookstore travels to sci-fi and fantasy cons as well as homeschool conventions.

The Pop Culture Culture Parent, Ted Turnau, E. Stephen Burnett, Jared MooreThis appearance features Lorehaven’s own E. Stephen Burnett and his coauthor Dr. Jared Moore. Stephen and Jared will also sign copies of their book with Ted Turnau, The Pop Culture Parent: Helping Kids Engage Their World for Christ. On Saturday, both of them will also speak about pop culture parenting:

  • See Stephen’s session Saturday, March 27 at 8:30 a.m.: What’s the Point of Popular Culture and Why Should Christian Parents Care?

For Christian parents, all these movies, shows, games, music, and beyond can feel overwhelming! Is there any point to all this popular culture? Why does it exist in God’s world in the first place? In this course, E. Stephen Burnett, coauthor of The Pop Culture Parent: Helping Kids Engage Their World for Christ (with Ted Turnau and Jared Moore) uses gospel perspective to discern the biblical purpose of popular culture: from God’s creation, to humanity’s fall, to our redemption for Christ’s glory.

  • See Jared’s session Saturday, March 27 at 2:30 p.m.: Five Simple Questions for Parents to Engage Popular Culture

Even if Christian parents get the point of popular culture, how do we apply this truth in our families? How can we find the graces and idols in the stories and songs our kids love? Dr. Jared Moore, coauthor of The Pop Culture Parent (with Ted Turnau and E. Stephen Burnett) offers five simple questions to help us engage in this vital mission. With one or two examples from popular movies, we will explore this method as a starting point for conversations to help you discern your children’s hearts and direct them to worship our fantastic Savior.

Also, for the first time since the 2020 pandemic, you can browse previous Lorehaven print magazine issues and other resources.

About Realm Makers

Realm Makers began in 2013, and from small origins has grown to serve hundreds of Christian fiction authors at annual conferences, whose faculties have included bestselling novelists such as Ted Dekker, Tosca Lee, Brent Weeks, and N. D. Wilson. Realm Makers exists to help creative Christians in their journeys, providing education in craft, connections with industry professionals, and strategies for finding readers who love these kinds of stories. Meanwhile, the Realm Makers Bookstore offers a curated collection of speculative fiction from Christian authors, traveling to sci-fi and fantasy cons as well as homeschool conventions.

About The Pop Culture Parent

Parents often feel at a loss with popular culture and how it fits in with their families. They want to love their children well, but it can be overwhelming to navigate the murky waters of television, movies, games, and more that their kids are exposed to every day. Popular culture doesn’t have to be a burden. The Pop Culture Parent equips mothers, fathers, and guardians to build relationships with their children by entering into their popular culture–informed worlds, understanding them biblically, and passing on wisdom. This resource by authors Jared Moore, E. Stephen Burnett, and Ted Turnau provides Scripture-based, practical help for parents to enjoy the messy gift of popular culture with their kids.
