Church, is extending an
invitation to all to at
tend. "The Living
Word" is an out stand
ing film for anyone who
has unanswered ques
tions about just what the
Bible means to us today.
The producers of the
film feel the real beauty
of the production is not
so much the color pho
tography, which is huly
memorable, but more
the clear way in which it
explains what the
Christian faith really is.
"God has a plan for
us, set in motion at the
moment of creation and
it's still being realized
today," the Rev. Mr.
Mills said. "The film
aims to help each
viewer discover that
plan, and to see how our
lives fit into that plan."
World Wide Pictures
is the film mi'ustry of
the Billy Graham
organization. Among
the company's other
releases are the award
winning "The Hiding
Place," and the recent
film, "Joni," which
