Sinopse

The Spiritual Practice of Watching Movies
What's your favorite Christmas movie? Easter movie? Pentecost movie? Casual viewers and movie buffs alike have favorite movies to watch at certain times of the year. But for film critic Abby Olcese, movies with spiritual themes aren't just limited to the holiday season. They're part of a deep human need to connect our favorite stories to the natural rhythms of our lives, and to let them shape and give meaning to our experience of the seasons all year long.
The life of the church is also defined by stories, which we revisit through the pattern of the Christian year. In Films for All Seasons, Olcese invites us to reflect on the great themes of the church calendar through the lens of film. From superhero movies and Star Wars to classics and arthouse films, she chooses movies for each liturgical season and leads us through them with skill and infectious enthusiasm, exploring how each one can inform and deepen our appreciation of its corresponding season.
Films for All Seasons is more than just a book about movies—it's a model for how we engage with art as Christians.
Includes:

- Explorations of popular, classic, and arthouse films and how they relate to liturgical seasons
- Reflections on the great themes of the church calendar
- Discussion questions after each movie designed to facilitate discussion with small groups and friends

    This bundle of books delves into humanity’s deepest questions through three profound fields of philosophy—Teleology, Phenomenology, and Eschatology. This 3-in-1 volume offers a rich and thought-provoking journey through purpose, perception, and the end of existence. 
    In the first section, Teleology, readers explore the concept of purpose in nature, history, and human life. From Aristotle’s final causes to modern interpretations of design and destiny, this section unpacks how philosophers and scientists have interpreted meaning in a seemingly chaotic universe. 
    Phenomenology takes center stage in the second section, inviting readers into the study of lived experience and consciousness. Tracing the work of Husserl, Heidegger, and Merleau-Ponty, this section reveals how we perceive and interpret the world from a first-person point of view. It’s a dive into perception, intentionality, and the structures of experience. 
    Finally, Eschatology examines the philosophical and theological discourse surrounding the ultimate destiny of humanity and the universe. Whether through religious traditions, secular speculation, or metaphysical inquiry, this section explores endings, finality, and the deep questions of what lies beyond the limits of life and time. 
    Together, these three domains form a comprehensive introduction to advanced philosophical thinking, ideal for students, seekers, and anyone intrigued by the questions that shape our understanding of reality.

    Bailey had gone home to Memphis for a few days and decided to meet up with five of her closest friends while she was there. She had hardly seen them since moving to California, and she was excited to catch up. 
    She expected a few laughs and some light-hearted conversation, and had no idea they had a proposition for her. They desperately needed her to come back home for the summer. 
    This would be no regularly scheduled trip and would take a lot of effort on Bailey’s part. But, she was determined to make it happen. 
    Especially since one of the people asking her to come home happened to be tall, dark, and handsome.
