How Movies Helped Save My Soul: Finding Spiritual Fingerprints in Culturally Significant Films (Paperback)

Higgins, Gareth (Author)
and Campolo, Tony (Foreword by)

At its best, film can transport you to what C.S. Lewis called a "thin place," where the line between harsh reality and the transcendent is so subtly blurred that for a moment, you find it difficult to tell the difference. Film, in the final analysis, can do for you what all great art does--irritate and heal, challenge and affirm, inspire and sadden. "How Movies Help Save My Soul explores the profound possibilities of movies to guide, critique and provoke the postmodern Christian journey. From The Matrix to Magnolia, Fight Club to Field of Dreams, and The Wizard of Oz to Wings of Desire, Higgins takes the reader through more than 200 films that, if looked at the right way, just might change lives. Movie buffs and novices alike will find much to enjoy, provoke, amuse, challenge and confound.
