The Least Among You [DVD]

The least Among You is a movie based on true historical events that took place in the 1960’s Watts Riots.

The main character Richard Kelly, (Cedric Sanders) agrees in a plea bargain to go to seminary after being charged for attacking a police officer. At seminary he meets a garden keeper (Louis Gossett Jr) who helps him find his way during his ordeal. At this all white seminary Richard Kelly is recruited by the seminar’s president as a face for face and integration.

The movie has a compelling story and although it is not a Hollywood blockbuster it’s an indie movie that caries a positive message and was portrayed beautifully. I enjoyed Louis Gossett Jr showing a gentle side of his acting playing as a spiritually sound garden gatekeeper.

Although I liked the way the story there are some scenes that played rather amateur or under rehearsed and a few scenes lacked information leaving some loose ends…

I personally like movies that are based on true stories and I’m glad I watch The least Among You

What made the original Toy Story so great, besides its significant achievement as the first-ever feature-length computer animated film, was its ability to instantly transport viewers into a magical world where it seemed completely plausible that toys were living, thinking beings who sprang to life the minute they were alone and wanted nothing more than to be loved and played with by their children. Toy Story 3 absolutely succeeds in the very same thing--adults and children alike, (read more)

Outlive your Life by Max Lucado

Once I started reading Outlive your Life by Max Lucado I couldn’t stop. It will grab your attention very quickly.

Outlive your Life will encourage you to make a difference. It gives numerous examples on how a single person can have great impact for generations.

Today we live in a world of 1.75 billion poor people and 1 billions of them are in extremely hungry. This statistics put you in the right perspective.

If we all get “unshell” and open our hearts to compassion there is no doubt we can make a difference in people’s lives.

Full of stories, anecdotes and personal experiences that will probably make you cry (I did) you will receive a boost of “I want to make a difference” type of attitude.

People that profess being a Christian will be challenged to serve like Jesus to his target audience: the poor, brokenhearted, captives, blind and oppressed, instead of ‘playing’ the ‘church game’ and forgetting were we came from by labeling and excluding people instead of including. A quote I really liked was: “God cannot be localized, He has no address, No one has a monopoly on Him. No temple can contain Him”

You will find the story of Max Lucado before becoming THE Max Lucado we know today and how a “NOBODY’ was critical for us even being discussing this book. Look for pages 138-139. It was very moving to me.

This is a great book and the best thing about it is that is very practical. At the end of the book you will find discussion and action guide that will help you put the knowledge in action. More knowledgeable people are just a waste! We need to take ACTION!
