In his new book, Mike seeks out the gospel principles to be found in cinema. There are topics and quotes from sci-fi, romance, thrillers, the classics, action films, westerns, and more. Although a compilation of wonderful quotes is certainly enjoyable and entertaining, it’s the thoughtful commentary tying it all together with gospel insights that completes the book’s purpose.
