A couple of weeks ago I mentioned the documentary, Purple State of Mind, that I was planning to see at Wheaton College. I was negligent in posting a review of the film (that whole moving thing), but my friend Bob Davidson has come through over at rednoW.com.

When “a Christian and atheist walk into a bar” sounds like the beginning of a joke – it is a sad reality – and very much the setting of Purple State of Mind. And this is the beauty of the film: two friends with different labels walk into a bar together (along with a handful of other places). The result? A film that is not so much about who is right or wrong, but a film that embraces the wonder of conversation and coexistence.

I really enjoyed this film and would highly recommend you pool some spare change with some friends and order the DVD. Also, head over to rednoW and read the rest of Bob’s review.
