A Great Awakening movie review
Some movies arrive with great fanfare, buzz, and excitement. It’s almost a foregone conclusion that the tickets will just fly from the ticket booth and compel movie goers into the theaters.
Most movies walk a different path. They garner some interest, but usually fade away after a short run.
Then there are those movies that almost no one seems to have heard of. Yet a whisper gets out. Or it gets

| The Lord of the Rings stands alone atop the lofty summit of fantasy literature. But that book itself rests upon its own massive foundation of legends and mythology which J.R.R. Tolkien continued to expand, deepen, and refine throughout his life. And ...more | |

“Though thankless you are and surely undeserving, I leave you with this truth all the same. For it is not what you know, but knowing what's true that matters. Clever men teach many false things.”

“But that’s the thing, isn’t it?” Zinder said. “There’s not always a fire to come home to. And on those days you need persistence. Sometimes life is pleasant and you hardly notice the hours passing by. That’s the way it is for me at the anvil. But other days you have to scratch your way through with everything you have in you. There’s not always the promise of a warm hearth awaiting you. But you press on. You don’t give up. And then, wonder of wonders, you find the fire’s there, just when you need it most. But if you don’t persist, you’ll never find the fire.”

“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.
"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”
― The Fellowship of the Ring

“Every happening, great and small, is a parable whereby God speaks to us, and the art of life is to get the message.”

“All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.”
― The Fellowship of the Ring
