Besides books, once in a while you come across exceptional movies which are inspirational. I have started making a list of the ones I know (see left panel). I would love to hear from the readers so that we can compile a list for everyone's benefit. Keep your comments flowing either on the blog or directly to me. Thanks.
Here's one movie, I strongly recommend.
Simon Birch by Mark Steven Johnson
Simon Birch tells the story of Joe and Simon's heart-warming journey of friendship. Simon Birch was born with a condition that makes him much smaller than all the other kids in town. Now, due to his condition, Simon thinks God made him this way for a reason and highly believes in God. Together, Joe and Simon go on a journey of trust and friendship to find the answers to many things.
