Spiritual Reviews of Secular Movies?

Ken Clifton, author of 30 Days of Providence, 777 Things You Can Do In Heaven, and A Nation Under God has launched a movie review site with weekly reviews of spiritual themes in both religious and non-religious movies.

(PRWEB) December 11, 2004 -- You could expect to have spiritual movie reviews of such movies as Passion of the Christ or Joshua. However, would you expect spiritual reviews of Terminator 3, 50 First Dates, or Barbie's Swan Lake movie?

Christian author Ken Clifton says Christian messages are rich in these and other "secular" movies. "If God is the author of all truth, then the true themes found in secular movies can tell us much about the human condition, ourselves, or Himself," Clifton says. "Christ used plants, buildings, and other things in the world to show the truths of God. An open eye looking at the secular world would find evidences and information of the spiritual around us."

The Providential Plan movie review site has been operational for 6 weeks, covering the above listed movies, as well as Wide Awake, Bruce Almighty, and Barbie in Swan Lake; however, the future movie reviews are listed 6 months in advance and contains movies such secular movies as Spiderman, Matrix Revolutions, Star Wars, and Van Helsing. Spiritual movies on the list include Joshua, Left Behind, The Climb, and Six. The movies alternate between a Christian movie review and a spiritual secular review each week.

"I know that many will be shocked to think that spiritual themes could be found in secular movies, but I almost find more spiritual themes in secular movies than most Christian movies," says Clifton. "For example, you can learn of fate in Seredipity and T3, of spiritual realms in Star Wars and City of Angels, and of mercy in Bruce Almighty."

Providential Plan movie reviews are done weekly, updated Thursdays, at providential-plan.com/reviews.html.
