This is a must see movie for any fan of spiritual films and any fan of great film making period. Thank the Gods for Independent Films!

Michael Goorjian starring as Christopher Baines is the writer, actor and director of this deeply touching and inspiring film about aging filmmaker Donald Baines (Kirk Douglas)and his abandoned illegitimate son Christopher.

Baines never accepted responsibility for his son, the result of a one-night stand, and turned his back on him as a young boy. Now, near death, he has regrets about this, but keeps them locked up. Stan, his long-dead film editor, appears at his side one evening and convinces Douglas to join him for a movie.

He transports Douglas into an old-time movie theatre, the viewing hall for the Akashic Records (a universal and mystical filing system of all knowledge and people). There he watches as three separate periods of Christopher's life unfolds on film. It's a film within a film, within a film, within a film. It sounds complicated, but it's not. It's simply a well done film.

Beautifully crafted and very touching, the film was first released into distribution in March of 2006 and from there, made it into the Spiritual Circle Cinema's gallery of films.

Michael Goorjian is a talented actor, writer AND director who clearly puts his heart and spirit into his work. Michael has also directed Louise Hay's You Can Heal Your Life, and Wayne Dyer's Ambition to Meaning (now called The Shift)

Add this movie to your collection - it's a keeper. Full of life itself, Goorjian coaxes the performances of a lifetime from everyone, including Douglas.

And keep an eye peeled for more from this incredibly gifted actor, writer AND director, because you WILL BE seeing more of him.

Illusions (Urban Christian)
$14.95
Sex, lies, and deception were things Denise Hightower did not expect to encounter as the wife of a pastor. Denise was elated to know that Pastor Bryce Hightower was interested in dating, marrying, and making her the first lady of Word of Life church. In fact, she remained a virgin until she married. She thought her life was perfect and God-sent; little did she know that her husband held a deep dark secret that had plagued him for over 17 years. A secret that he had never told her or anyone else in the church; until one afternoon she decides to surprise her husband at his office with a picnic lunch, she walks in on something that would change their lives forever.

The theme of this book is one that is not written about very often - pornography and the pulpit. Seeing the emotional turmoil that this man of God went through with his addiction to pornography shows his imperfection as a human being and a Christian. This book opens up a much needed discussion on how we handle this serious and often times overlooked addiction.

Pornography can be the catalyst to end marriages and corrupt pulpits, as this book displays. It also unmasked many myths that confront the fact that we are all human beings and are not perfect, and have addictions that can be overcome with God's help.
Overall, this book was well written and a great read.
