Barna invites you to Narnia

Dear Colleague,

As you may know, last year The Barna Group expanded its work beyond providing research to developing a variety of tools for life-transformation.

We expanded our efforts because our studies show that we are having less influence on Americans today than most of us would like to believe. We discovered in our research that the dominant sources of influence in ourculture today are headed by movies, TV and music. We committed ourselves to helping harness the power of those media without forfeiting the truths we believe can change lives.

One way is by giving people opportunities to see and discuss significant films. Over the years, outstanding movies like Ben Hur, Chariots of Fire and The Passion of the Christ have captivated millions of Americans from all walks of life. Many other films might have had significant influence onpeoples lives as well, but they got lost in the everyday shuffle. Unfortunately, there has not been an organized and intentional means of making sure that outstanding movies receive the attention they deserve.

That's why I am excited to introduce BarnaFilms Preview Night to you. We want to make sure that some of these wonderful films get discovered and enjoyed by families before they are lost in the endless stream of high-profile, low-concept movies filling theaters. Beginning this December we will be offering a BarnaFilms Preview Night each quarter to give everyone an opportunity to screen a new film that we believe will educate, entertain and inspire our souls. We will hold these previews in selected movie theaters around the United States.

On December 8, BarnaFilms Preview Night is pleased to offer tickets to an advance screening of Walt Disney Pictures and Walden Media's production of the classic C.S. Lewis Story, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe. This will be the first in our on-going series of quarterly previews.Today I invite you and your friends to join me, and millions of other people across the country, on Thursday, December 8 in viewing this magnificent movie. Because you have been connected to our organization through seminars, updates and other resources, I am giving you a full week to get your order in before we begin to formally announce BarnaFilmsPreview Night across the country. Since seating in selected theaters will be on a first-come, first-served basis, and we expect huge interest in this event, I wanted to be sure that you have every opportunity to consider purchasing tickets.

Go to www.barnapreview.com to request tickets. Reserve your tickets early and be among the first to experience this wonderful film.

I'll see you December 8 at the movies. George Barna
