Spiritual Movie Review:
Nicholas's Gift |
I found this made-for-tv movie (based on a true story) to be somewhat predictable, yet still a very enjoyable and touching movie. I won't share which scene with you it was, but at one point, I had tears in my eyes.
During an American family's visit to Italy, something terrible happens that ends up bringing two cultures and many strangers together in unexpected and life-changing ways.
I really want to say more about this film, but to do that would require giving away more of the plot than I feel comfortable doing. |

Spiritual Book Review:
The Spiritual Significance of Music by Justin St. Vincent |
This book takes an interesting look at the relationship between music and spirituality. More specifically, it is a compilation of over 100 different interviews with musicians from around the world, different walks of life, and different genres of music.
I personally did not find this book to be very interesting; however, that may be related to my also lack of experience and interest in the nature of music. I like to listen to music, to experience it, but the fundamentals elude me.
For the music lover who has a spiritual background, I believe this book will provide much more interesting and engaging reading. That's because the interviews reveal a side of musicians that is often not discussed publicly, if for no other reason, the typical outlets for music don't usually sway direct conversation in the direction of spirituality. |
