The incredible Tom Hooper 2012 movie is now released on DVD. This is a renewed opportunity to use this incredibly redemptive story as a discussion starter in many different situations. Here are free downloadable resources to help you.

This new film is simply amazing. I've already written about the incredible spiritual parallels in the film, the multiple starting points for conversation (many connected with personal pain and life issues), and the growing number of online resources available, especially the Damaris video shorts and study guide, and Rusty Wright's free-to-use article. So this post is a few personal and random thoughts about this production... http://internetevangelismday.com/blog/archives/10103 2013-01-05T09:32:53-05:00 Two months ago, there were perhaps six online articles about the spiritual themes within Les Miserables. And this despite the fact that it has been the world’s most popular musical, seen by many millions and translated into 21 languages. In this video by Crosswalk, cast members share their thoughts about the spiritual messages. Today, there are hundreds of blog posts and articles (as a Google search will show). http://internetevangelismday.com/blog/archives/10059 2012-12-27T11:49:30-05:00 Christian culture commentators Damaris Trust have now published a range of useful resources (with more to follow). There's a 16-page booklet in PDF format to use in conjunction with a series of downloadable video shorts. Already released are Fresh Starts and Difficult Choices, displayed below, plus the film trailer. Coming shortly are Prisoner 24601, Who Am I?, and A Heart Full of Love. http://internetevangelismday.com/blog/archives/10017 2012-12-20T18:01:10-05:00 Could receiving a healthy dose of kindness and mercy help transform a person's life? Victor Hugo thought so. The 19th-century French social reformer wove his classic novel Les Misérables around the theme of grace trumping legalism. A new film based on the successful musical opens Christmas Day across the US and Canada, and January in many other nations. http://internetevangelismday.com/blog/archives/9183 2012-09-06T12:17:04-05:00 The film version of the musical will soon be released – and the story is so well known that we can start planning now. (Release date December 2012 N. America, January in Europe.) For this is a major opportunity. Les Miserables is not only the most most popular musical ever, but also a serious and deep story, with a hugely redemptive message.
