Departures (Yôjirô Takita, 2008)

Never have I seen dead bodies treated with such deep respect. Never have I seen such a physical act help grieving people mourn their loss.

The Hunger Games (Gary Ross, 2012)
BY: Denis Haack
As in reality, faithfulness requires not merely that we do what we believe is right (though it is never less than this) but that we out-think the world system in which we live that promotes values in opposition to God’s kingdom and shalom.

The Mill and the Cross (Lech Majewski, 2011)
BY: Denis Haack
Do not watch The Mill and the Cross expecting to follow a story, or to enter an adventure. Watch it a series of living snapshots of life in Flanders in the 16th century, celebrated by a great artist and given meaning by Christ’s death.

There are tulips on my desk, and I saw my first robin yesterday, clear signals that winter is losing its grip on the landscape. The newspaper reported an ice jam on a nearby river that forced the closure of several roads. Chunks of ice the size of dinner tables slammed through a county park. Even something as glorious of the arrival of spring is never as perfectly smooth as we would hope in this broken world. We are, as my spiritual mentor used to say, glorious ruins.
Finding what it means to flourish as broken human being in an imperfect world is what Ransom is about. We believe in Jesus Christ, though often find ourselves dismayed at what passes for Christianity in our postmodern world. We hope what you find on this site will be helpful in your own pilgrimage, regardless of where you happen to find yourself at the moment.
