Two Recommendations

Graham Greene's excellent "The End of the Affair." It's beautiful, painful, moving, and Sarah's character and experiences mirror some of my own when it comes to faith.

Clint Eastwood's fantastic "Gran Torino." You can catch Clint delivering lines that no one but Clint can deliver, against the backdrop of Detroit's racial tensions and changing economy. It's quite a story. Caution: excellent banter with really strong language, in the way cool way only Clint Eastwood can growl. And a hundred different excellent deliveries of "hrrrm." Go and see.

And, congratulations President Obama. May you strengthen civil rights and the rule of law and finish the wars abroad.

Glad you liked The End of the Affair.
Am pleased that it spoke to you after The Power and the Glory didn't quite move you the way it moved me!
I think I would have found TEotA more powerful than TP&tG had I read TEotA first, but both have similar messages of faith and redemption.
