You’re invited! Come talk with me about the movies that have shaped our lives.

I’ll be in the Reading Room of Seattle Pacific University’s Ames Library on Tuesday, May 12, at 3:30 p.m.

I’ll be at Third Place Books in Lake Forest Park on Thursday, May 28, at 7 p.m.

I’ll be at Hugo House in Seattle on Tuesday, June 9, at 6 p.m.

And I’ll be at Village Books in Bellingham on Thursday, June 11. (Details here.)

I hope to see you at one of these events (at least!) and talk with you about the movies that mean the most to you. You’re invited!

On each occasion, I’ll share some share discoveries he has made in the light of films as varied as My Neighbor Totoro, Blade Runner, Empire of the Sun, Moonrise Kingdom, Do the Right Thing, Paterson, The Tree of Life, and Marcel the Shell With Shoes On.

I’ll share how moviegoing became a spiritual discipline — one that that freed me from the fear-driven agendas of religious fundamentalism, even as it inspired me into fuller, richer, more rewarding experiences of faith, hope, and love.

Stay for the Q&A, in which I may ask the audience as many questions as they ask me.

This new book will be for sale. And I’ll be happy to sign your copy, and talk with you about the movies that mean most to you.
