This is the second in a series of movies/small group studies. This is one of my favorites. If these things can't get you into the story, something's REALLY wrong.

Creative Imagination on a scale rarely seen. This guy added layers to the story.
The Portable Milton (Portable Library)The Portable Milton (Portable Library) by John Milton
Buy new: $14.04 / Used from: $0.01
The same can be said for this guy as for Dante--but Milton did a lot of his work while blind. Read his sonnet about when he considers how his light is spent. Staggering.

Buy new: $33.75 / Used from: $9.99
People are gonna think me stupid for including Professor Lewis with Dante and Milton. Still, he's up there in my book.

If a writer ever did with their books what this man did in his music, we'd have several bookcases of masterpieces on our hands. Here we have him contemplating the Cross.
Change Your Church for Good: The Art of Sacred Cow TippingChange Your Church for Good: The Art of Sacred Cow Tipping by Brad Powell
Buy new: $12.74 / Used from: $4.55
When we're talking masterpieces, what this pastor has done for resurrecting churches ranks right up there with the works of Bach and Milton in my mind. This is one story we can all be a part of.
