The Reel Story

If you could choose ten movies to showcase your life and send a message to future generations, what would they be? This is exactly what Chris Spicer has done in his latest book, The Reel Story.

 

Using an eclectic mix of cinema classics, Chris writes about the lessons learnt from a lifetime spent in business, social enterprise, education and various streams of Christianity. Each movie is a metaphor used to pass on timeless truths. More than a rerun of golden oldies, this is a modern take on those people and events that have influenced one man’s life.

 

From middle England to Midwest America, from an English seaport to the coastline of Portland, Oregon, from British social housing to Brazilian shanty towns, this is the adventure of a lifetime. While some readers may know the author as a father or grandfather, others will know him as a businessman, church leader, educator, author or public speaker. However, few will know the real person behind the persona. Refusing to photoshop the ugly or glamorise the mundane, Chris sees this book as an opportunity to tell his story and pass on lessons learnt in the university of life.
