Say Yes to Christian Movies?
The latest consumer tie-in, a self-help book created because of a movie, is the perfect storm. A guy I know told me that a lot of good has come from this movie, and I would be the last one to disagree. God moves. But a lot of good has also come from Romeo and Juliet, and for a long time. Most recently, Donald Miller made me love that play in new and brilliant ways in his book Searching for God Knows What, and it wasn’t another self-help plan. I wonder if the latest Christian movie and its book will still be examined four hundred years from now.
