Warning: Possible spoilers. Also, I don’t mean to indicate by this review that I recommend anyone see the Harry Potter movies or read the books.

The Foundation is excited to be working with Valor Ink on their newest project, The David Story.

The idea is to produce a Visual Translation of the Biblical account of David. It’s to be a sort of graphic novel blended with a word-for-word reiteration of the accounts from the Scriptures.

They’re currently raising funds through their Kickstarter campaign, and would love your support. It’s a great way to pre-order the first issue, and help make the project successful.

No, it's not a trap. We promise not to bombard your email inbox. In fact, most people complain we don't send enough emails! But here's what you can expect:

  1. In the following week or so you'll get a few messages. These are individually designed to catch you up on all the great things we're doing!
  2. Once you're caught up, you can expect (on average) one email a month, keeping you updated on the progress we're making toward our mission to liberate Christian creativity.
  3. And once you have a handle on our work, we can try to get you plugged in. Maybe you're an artist who wants to get more involved. Maybe you want to keep tabs on our projects. Whatever has drawn you to our work, this is the best way to get plugged in.
