    “Dogma” (1999) by director Kevin Smith was the first feature from the indie director to stray from the path of silly diversions and idiosyncratic banters first set on by “Clerks” (1994) and “Mallrats” (1995) and focuses on the bigger issue of religion.

Their journey and its consequences are the foil the bring about the director’s interpretations and attitudes toward Catholicism and religion in general.

    In both "Friday Night Lights,"by H. G. Bissinger, and "Quiet Strength," by Tony Dungy, their are two coaches who are very similar, yet very different in their own ways. In one coaches locker room you may find an aggressive, hostile written note. While in the other coaches locker room you'll find bibles. Both coaches have a winning mentality, how they go about winning though is a different story. The quite, calm, and faith first mentality of one coach, verse the loud, aggressive, in your face way of coaching from the other. These books though also have their own similarities. Such as how football can serve as a way out for people. How winning is important, and what it means to be a winner in life, and in the game. Then the differences, such…

    Fireproof was a really good movie. It shows a marriage going wrong between a firefighter Caleb and his wife. The movie had showed how an intimate relationship with God can save a marriage that is just about to break up. It also showed what goes wrong in a marriage if the couple do not look for God to help them. Many scenes in the movie related to me in my life and many of them related to my parents’ lives in their marriages.…

    Benjamin Franklin once said, “Players must remember that the best victory was not over the opponent but over oneself”. To John Grisham’s novel, Bleachers, this statement is so true. Neely Crenshaw, Messina’s All-American, didn’t care about the outcome of the championship game as much as he did what happened in the locker-room during halftime with his Coach Eddie Rake. However, in order for Neely to come home to Messina and forgive Rake, he had to overcome the fear of himself.…

    Bissinger's riveting narrative of Permian High's quest for the state championship is interspersed with vivid portrayals of the players, some who shine in the spotlight and others who find that they don't quite measure up when it counts. Booby Miles, an African American running back, figures that the 1988 season will be his coming-out party, a season where he will lead his school to the championship and attain his dream of playing football for a major college. Booby has so much faith in his ability that he burns a number of bridges – academic and social – in his journey. In a poignantly told chapter, we find Booby's dreams shattered as his foot is caught in the artificial turf during a game. Unable to come to terms with the loss of his athletic ability, Booby becomes a cautionary tale of football obsession gone awry.…

    I felt that the film inspired growth in my life in two major ways. First, was the question posed by Nik Ripken, “Is Jesus worth it?” The answer is easy in a comfortable environment in political freedom, yet the film’s stories of survival and perseverance in persecution, especially Dmitri’s story, prompted me to ask the question with my life and the lives of my family at steak. The loss of the Ripkens’ son Timothy prompted me to envision the consequences, both bad and good, of a life devoted to mission and ask “Is Jesus Worth it?”. The answer today is yes. Yet it’s not a question to be asked just once, but a daily inquiry of faith and perseverance in the face of what is to come. Secondly, the images of suffering and persecution within the church has motivated me to take Ripken’s challenge to heart: not giving up in freedom what we hold onto in persecution. Living, for the moment, in the boarders of a government with religious freedom, it is my responsibility to share my faith freely with others. This is in conjunction with what the Christians in the film believe: that when we don’t share our faith, we are siding with the persecutors, not the persecuted. The Insanity of God has awakened the power of prayer in my life. I have lived my life with the tendency to view prayer as private and supplemental yet I now view its power as necessary and essential. I am determined to grow in prayer for the persecuted church and to engage with my brothers and sisters around me to continually lift up the church in prayer. I pray for the resiliency of persecuted Christians, not that it would end but that they may continue to glorify God even in the face of…

    My experience of this movie was a great one; and this is actually a movie that I will remember for the rest of my life. I wouldn't say that this is something that I learned, perhaps, but more of a huge reminder of what it takes to actually keep a relationship and marriage going in the right direction; but when he realized he needed to do more of the little things to keep everything going, and just how important that is in a successful marriage. “The Love Dare” is definitely something that I believe should be used more often when it comes to failing marriages, no matter what the situation is. I do think that in many cases, it would definitely work; especially if the main problem is you just feel like you lost what was once there. If you start doing all of these things for your spouse, that spark and connection will definitely come back and be better than ever! Something I learned from this movie is just a realization of just how powerful love is, and how when you really do have something with someone you should never just throw it away even if the original feelings don't seem to be there, that's only temporary and there's always a way to get that feeling back.…
