Epic: The story God is Telling
I finished reading this a month or two ago and never got around to posting about it.
It was an interesting read, tying together movies and God. In Epic, John Eldredge talks about how we are a part of a larger story and that we can have a better understanding of our lives and the events in our lives when we understand the bigger story that is taking place. He uses movies like Braveheart, Apollo 13, and the Matrix to illuminate scripture passages.
One of the things that I liked best about his writing is how it he discusses how we need Christ and actually talks about hell, and does so in a way that is relevant and understandable. He also talks about why men and women have some of the deep longings that we have, such as wanting to be beautiful or brave.
Epic seems to be a shorter version of some of his other writings, as is often the case of these smaller hard cover books.
