Light...Beyond Thunderdome
This chapter looks back at the amazing story that unfolded as the motion picture The Passion of the Christ was released in 2004. The creator of the film Mel Gibson was placed under the international spotlight in a way that had never happened during his illustrious career. We discover how risky this kind of visibility is and make an unexpected discovery from the Word of God about this subject.

As mentioned before on this website The Barna Group tracks the statistics that reflect ways the church and the culture interact
There is a book that many people have read called The Purpose Drive Life written by Rick Warren. It is a devotional book…The Christian culture and marketing gurus have embraced the book and the idea. Churches across America are hosting conferences and spending thousands of dollars on events called 40 Days of Purpose….however long before there were churches putting up signs saying, “we are a purpose driven church” …some ministries were already clearly communicating what it means to have lives driven by purpose…and it isn’t that tough…and it doesn’t take 40 days. It is something that you can discover in 40 minutes and something that you will put into practice over a lifetime.
