As most of you know by my annoying name-dropping, I’ve been reading Wild at Heart.
It’s a great book, one that I’m reading slowly to savor it more. For instance, one area that I love about author John Eldredge is his taste in movies. I feel a little vindicated for drawing so much theology from films!
Here’s a movie index I compiled from the book as I read it:
Title — Page
A Perfect World — 65-66, 126
A River Runs Through It — 126
An Officer and a Gentleman — 16
Braveheart — 11, 22-23, 164-165
Die Hard — 11
Flying Tigers — 11
Gladiator — 11, 100-101, 134-135
Good Will Hunting — 124-125
High Noon — 11
Jerry McGuire — 150
Ladyhawk — 16
Legends of the Fall — 12
Little Women — 16
Saving Private Ryan — 11, 158, 172
Sense & Sensibility — 16
Shane — 11
The Bridge of the River Kwai — 11
The Longest Day — 158
The Magnificent Seven — 11
The Mask of Zorro — 174
The Natural — 109
Top Gun — 11

I like Christian authors who incorporate popular culture.
I’d like to read Captivating. I almost bought it the other day. Haven’t read Wild at Heart yet although it’s been highly recommended.
Name dropping doesn’t annoy me.
Hopefully my gravatar will show up soon.
Hey, there it is!
ok.. now i’m in the minority.. guess i need to get a gravatar too..
Hey, Ang, nice! Now you’ve joined the gravatar world.
nice Angela. Kinda fun isn’t it.

My sis is one of the few oddballs left now.
Oh no! My comments feel naked! Quick help!
Mel, find a pic or image you want and I’ll hook you up!

I already do! I submitted it to gravatar yesterday, but I’m still waiting for them to approve it.
Woohoo! Well, there it is!
Sweet, I like!
Since I am clueless most of the time about popular culture, I find it unhelpful at best. I like Christian writers who use more universal themes. I am old-fashioned, I guess.
Rob- I like your new title image. The tunnel is a neat image. For my art-blog, we used an image from an airport, too.

Hey, Sarah. I guess I just dig how pop culture can be used effectively when it reflects those universal themes.
I like your art blog! Nice use of the arrival board for your banner.
