Hi there!
My name is Phil Strangolagalli. I am the author of “Jesus Loves Movies” an independently published book that uses movies to help people out in life. I’ve had the honor of my book being in over 500+ Barnes and Noble stores, Target, Walmart, and independent book stores all throughout the U.S.
Jesus Loves Movies has been recognized by Tim Tebow, Rick Warren, T.D. Jakes, and Joshua Dubois. I’ve received emails, letters, and DMs from people saying how my book has impacted them.
I went through a rough time in my life and movies were a place of comfort for me from a lot of the trauma I went through. It really is a story of how I overcame trauma and learned to cope. It was never supposed to be a book—but it became one.
I hope to be a person that encourages and provides hope to people who are in rough times. That using a creative outlet can help people work through complex emotions.
