COVER STORY—For a decade, Read The Spirit magazine has appeared every Monday with a popular Faith & Film section closing out our weekly issues. We’ve heard from readers around the world who enjoy Film Critic Edward McNulty’s thought-provoking reviews along with the connections he draws to religious wisdom. This week’s Cover Story looks at the monthly Visual Parables Journal that we co-publish with McNulty for the enjoyment of men and women who want to explore the many faith connections in popular films. The upcoming Holiday Season is a terrific time to subscribe to that Journal and make plans to enjoy some movies and conversation with friends.

A True Tale of Two Sisters—Whose Lives and Wisdom Intertwined

IN HER GOD SIGNS COLUMN, this week, Suzy Farbman introduces us to remarkable sisters: Shanda Sullivan and Penny James. While neither may be household names, Penny James’ image was all over magazines and advertisements in the ’60s and ’70s—until various challenges forced her to step away from the Jet Set. Although she began collecting her hard-earned wisdom in a memoir, Penny died before she finished. Now, Shanda has completed that inspiring project.
