“It is difficult for me to put into words…yet I am positive that certain pieces of music, certain works of art, and certain books and plays were created, not by the composer, artist, author, or playright but by God, and those whom we have acknowledged as the creators of these works were only the instruments employed by God to communicate with us.” –from Og Mandino’s The Greatest Miracle In The World
The first of the Spielberg trilogy (three hit films) that put Spielberg on top of Hollywood.
- 1975. Hollywood’s first summer blockbuster
- 1977. “This is important. This means something.”
- 1981. “It’s important, Marion. Trust me.”
*Sidenote about Og Mandino…“If anyone adds another book or experience to the Bible, making it equal in authority to God’s Word –refuse to believe him.” -from pg 58 of Donald Whitney’s Simplify Your Spiritual Life. So I might add that my experience is to not place anything before my reading of the Bible, a lesson I’ve had to learn the hard way. However, I might add the following quote from pg 59 of that same book from Donald Whitney: “Read Christian books that teach…” In other words, there is room for Christians to read other books. But make sure you don’t neglect your reading of the Bible. (Psalm 119:16 …I will not neglect Your Word.)
