400-408 – Dennis Rainey, President and CEO of Family Life (familylife.com, 800-FL-TODAY), heard weekdays at 830am with Bob Lepine, is out with his latest book entitled Stepping Up: A Call to Courageous Manhood (link). Dennis and Barbara have four daughters, two sons, and 18 grandchildren! Today we talk about dealing with holiday conflict.

• Dennis will be speaking at both our upcoming Pastor Appreciation Luncheon at BIOLA May 17th @ 1130am, and that evening at 7pm at our KKLA Listener Event.
413-423 – Dennis Rainey, Three things create conflict: unrealistic expectations, going for the quick "win," and trying to do too much. Be a peacemaker during the Holidays. Initiate conversations by asking, "What's the most courageous thing you've ever done?" Go with the intent to serve, rather than be served. And, be the kind of guest that others are glad you're there.

He was an advisor to Senator Hillary Clinton when she went after the makers of violent video games, and has been on 60 Minutes twice, and The Today Show eight times.

• The Economist (12/10/2011) All the world's a game. Video games will be the fastest-growing and most exciting form of mass media over the coming decade, says Tim Cross.
• Thomas Mucha (Global Post, 12/08/2011) Video games are big business. And getting bigger.
According to consulting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers, the global video game industry last year pulled in $56 billion.
That's more than double the size of the music industry (sorry, Gaga). It's nearly a quarter bigger than the magazine publishing industry and it's about three-fifths the size of Hollywood's cash cow, PwC says.
Moreover, that number is expected to reach $82 billion a year by 2015, making video games the fastest-growing media business on the planet.
Average age of video gamers in the US: 37
Gender breakdown: 58 percent men; 42 percent women
Percentage of US households that play video games: 72
