SOUND OFF

The Sound Off section is where you the reader/ emailer is heard. What you have to say is put in this section for all the readers to see. Of course certain content is edited for appropriateness issues. This is a family friendly magazine, and certain content is just not proper. We hope you enjoy this section as much as we do. Keep an eye out for your comments appearing in these very pages. You have our attention, so SOUND OFF!

Coming Together

I love your FFG Original news stories. That page has so much wisdom in it that I can never get enough of it. Do you guys accept gift cards as donations? I want to help out when and where I can. I can help out that way if you are willing to accept it.

I appreciate all you are doing. I understand how hard you work on Family Friendly Gaming, making videos, streaming, and working a day job. You are doing an amazing job. I would love to see what you could do with Family Friendly Gaming as a full time job that covers all of your bills. I am praying for you guys now. I am also willing to donate gift cards if that will help. Please let me know. If you publish this in your magazine then I challenge every other reader to donate a gift card as well.

- Chuck Thank you so much for your words of encouragement and support. Everyone here at Family Friendly Gaming greatly appreciates it. We do accept gift cards. There are a variety of different people that support us with gift cards as well. I keep meaning to add that to our Advertise page. I probably need to make a donate page with lots of options. Or maybe add it to the How You Can Help page.

I was listening to the radio recently (on the drive back from the day job) and there was a local radio station having a money giving marathon. I have never wanted to do those. Plus it feels off to me when they say things like: “I wanted to give you the opportunity to support us.” I have always hated having a hand out. I prefer to produce something of value and know that caring, loving people will want to provide something that helps us continue to exist. I hate the guilt tripping and brow beating that too many use. If we are used by others and they never think of helping then we store up treasures in heaven. God has been good and continues to be good to us.

It would be amazing if just 50% of our readers took you up on that challenge. Not everyone can. Not everyone is in a position to do so. I always say if we have been a blessing to you and you prayerfully consider helping that is all I ask. There are days I wish I could come home from a job, plop on the couch and zone out watching TV like so many other people tell me they do. Obedience to God is more important to me than my own comfort or enjoyment.

Greatness Personified

Your Video Game Lies book is absolutely amazing. I have never read such an amazing book on video games written by a fellow gamer before. I turned my nose at other Christian video game books because they are constantly: “Video games are evil and you are bad for playing them.” Your Video Game Lies book has actual, real and true balance to it. You point out the good and you point out the bad. You give the Godly perspective that so many of my fellow gamers ignore. You show the dangers, and you show the benefits. Video Game Lies is the greatest video game related book I have ever read. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for writing that book. Will there be a fourth revision at some point? What is your plan for that?

BTW I absolutely love that you are selling signed copies of your books on your Store page. I bought one and could not be happier. I think I have a collectible right there. Any chance there will be a collector’s edition setup and created for your books?

{Paul}: Stan,

I am so appreciative of your words of encouragement. You made me blush. I think there are plenty of improvements I can make with a wide array of things I have written includ-

ing that book. At some future date and point I would love to go back through the Video Game Lies book and add even more content. I am working on wrapping up the Family Friendly Gaming Devotional March book. I hope to have that on sale around the time this issue has been published. Maybe even before. We will see if that is too ambitious or not. I have plans for another Future Glimpses book but have not had the time for it. I will probably try to get work done on the Family Friendly Gaming Devotional April book as well. After those projects are all done I could look at another revision of Video Game Lies. It will probably be a bit before that happens though.

On the topic of Collector’s Editions of our books. I like that idea. I am just not sure what to include. Are there specific bonuses you would be interested in? The same goes for all of Family Friendly Gaming Universe. Would you buy a collector’s edition of one of my books if something was included? What inclusion would you like to see? I will see what ideas come in and how feasible that would be. Maybe we could put a pre-order out on our store page so we could have them created on demand. I would hate to spend a lot of money and be stuck with all kinds of inventory.
