Reading from 10.15-12.15.11

This book took me a bit to get into to but the style and story have stuck with me since. The atmosphere of the book has haunted me since finishing. One of the best books I have read in a long time.



This book is full of good reminders and was a different pace and tone from the books I have read like this the past couple of years. It took me back to my crusade days in a good way.



This was the UW-Madison Go Big Read. It follows Enrique, a young Honduran boy, as he journeys to find his mother. I personally connected with the book because of all my trips down to Honduras and was surprised to see pictures of the dump our team visited two years ago. It is a great discussion starter about immigration policy.

Films #2-5 - if I had a film fest 'Beauty, Hope, Justice and Redemption'

This film is a bit old now but still is a moving story with a glimpse of hope. It is also amazing to discover the movement that has come out of this flim and the power that can be behind telling a moving story.



This film wrestles with justice from the point of view that a white person is experiencing the injustice. After watching a number of films about more obvious minorities experiencing injustice I found my experience with this film very interesting. I think it would provide a great discussion about racism and injustice.



A great debate about whether or not Christianity provides overall good to the world. There seems no debate that in the name of Christ people have both done good and evil but does one outweigh the other? This film is an example of healthy debate and create the potential for all kinds of good conversation.



Most is a short film that tells the tale of a father making an impossible decision. This film is beautifully shot and communicates the emotional impact of the gospel and the power of grace.
