Sidebar quote to Movies and Ministry

Movies send powerful messages.

“Movies can send a very powerful message. So powerful, in fact, that one Duke divinity student believed he could make a greater impact by writing stories for Hollywood, rather than preaching from the pulpit. Randall Wallace’s vision to serve God and influence the larger society has been a notable success. His most famous film project highlights a powerful Christian theme: sacrifice. Maybe you’ve heard of his movie? It’s Braveheart.”

—From How Now Shall We Live? by Chuck Colson and Nancy Pearcey (Tyndale House).
