Former film critic Michael Elliott continues with his exploration of how biblical truths can be extracted from the screenplays of popular movies. In Volume Two of the series, Thus Saith Hollywood takes aim at some of the most familiar and beloved films of all time to show that God's Word is indeed timeless and communicates to every generation. | |  | | Thus Saith Hollywood: Using Movie Dialogue to Stimulate Spiritual Thought
