Each chapter recommends additional films and includes discussion questions ideally suited for churches, small groups, and book clubs.As readers watch and read, they will journey through the human life cycle and explore themes of existence, goodness, belonging, vocation, identity, success, generosity, dealing with conflict, and what it means to be human.
