Opening this very week is a movie that you should be aware of if you, like me, are attracted to meaningful, dramatic history. A partnership was created between the most amazingly talented preacher in colonial America -- and the famously brilliant but skeptical Ben Franklin.
Call it an unlikely partnership, and open to interpretation. In the words (movie words) of evangelist George Whitefield, it was "A match made in Heaven!" In the words of Ben Franklin, it could be called "A deal made in a print shop."
I'm recommending "A Great Awakening" (sight-unseen) and looking forward to it.
