Description: People today are shaped by film and television. When we watch a film, we are not just being entertained; we are exposing ourselves to narratives that define what is possible for us, and we often incarnate those possibilities. In Finding God in the Dark, John Pungente SJ and Monty Williams SJ guide you through the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius as you watch 52 popular films that are available at your local video/DVD store. Watching these films the Ignatian way becomes an act of contemplative prayer and self-reflection.
