Yes, bring Kleenex. (Even my stoic mechanical-engineer brother-in-law was wiping tears from his cheeks.) Afterward I went to an online forum where TLTW&TW was being discussed. Unfortunately, like most online chat rooms, the discussions degraded into "liberal left" vs. "religious right" accusations and name-calling. As a Christian knowing the story of C.S. Lewis and the parallels of his story to the story of Christ, I was deeply moved. Some in the forum were calling it Christian propaganda while others described it as a good story <I>in spite of</I> or <I>regardless of</I> its deeper meaning. I tend to agree with College Hills (Lebanon, TN) church minister John Grant who said, "It's not as much likely to change a life as it is to start a conversation. But sometimes that's a gift all its own." <I>A must see!</I>Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10084301029744103952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19063438.post-1135732211435812152005-12-27T19:10:00.000-06:002005-12-27T19:10:00.000-06:00I agree!
