I love this cd! It's my favorite Tobymac album. It has great songs including: Me Without You, Made For Me and Family. My favorite song on this cd is called "Favorite Song feat. Jamie Grace". Some of Tobymac's songs I don't really understand what the meaning of them are, but the messages these songs deliver are pretty clear.

I would recommend this to: Christians of all ages. Others might enjoy it too, but Tobymac is a christian.

This is the movie after The Ultimate Gift by Jim Stovall. It is a story of a snobby, rich, young man (Drew Fuller) who inherits a gift when his grandfather (James Garner) passes away. This inheritance isn't the normal gift, it's The Ultimate Gift. The young man, Jason Stevens, has to learn a series of lessons on work, money,friendship and other things to earn the Ultimate Gift. On his life challenging journey he meets a little girl named Emily (Abigail Breslin)who is struggling with a severe sickness. This movie is very touching. Some of the other stars in this movie include Bill Cobbs, Lee Merriweather and Ali Hillis. This movie is very good, but does include a little language and violence.

I would recommend this to: 8 and up.

This is one of the cleanest, funniest tv series ever made. It's about Rob, a comedy writer, his wife Laura and his son Little Ritchie. i haven't seen all the episodes but my parents have. They're great for family movie nights. You can stream the whole series on Netflix. One of my family's favorites is "The Ghost of A. Chantz".

I would recommend this to:  Everyone

It's a great movie about a teenage boy who lives on a sheep farm in Australia. Wherever he goes he hears music and can't help but stop what he's doing and conduct an imaginary band. he get's in trouble with a bunch of other teenagers and he has to do 20 hours of community service.The only problem with it is in one scene teenagers kiss. Other than that it's a great movie. This movie stars Luke Arnold and Alexa Vega.
