I'm not usually in the habit of recommending movies, but I couldn't help but recommend Hilary Swank's new movie Freedom Writers. Gayle and I watched it on DVD last week and were both quite inspired. As a leader I was challenged by the task confronting teacher Erin Gruwell to communicate something of value (in her case, English) to those who were initially disinterested to say the least. It's also a great movie about breaking racial barriers that separate us. The movie had a number of spiritual parallels throughout. I think you'll enjoy it. As usual, let me know what you think.
(Please note that there is some crude language in a few spots, which would not be appropriate for small children.)

Seth and I watched it last night, and it really was very good. It'd warned him that I tend to get all caught up in "teacher movies"! Thanks for recommending it.
