~*~ SPECIAL OFFER~*~


- If You Love Movies, You Are About to Be Inspired and Entertained -

Finally, a service that's unique and deeply needed. The Spiritual Cinema Circle, founded by Stephen Simon, producer of films, "Somewhere in Time" and "What Dreams May Come" and producer/director of "Indigo," has created a very inexpensive way to bring hours of inspiring entertainment into your life each month.

The membership for The Spiritual Cinema Circle has grown at an unprecedented rate, and you'll see why when you take a peak.

It's very simple!

Here's how it works:

Each month you receive 4 features and shorts on DVD. The movies are personally selected by Stephen Simon and his team. These movies represent the best of spiritual cinema and art.

The movies are new films you're unlikely to see anywhere else.

The DVDs are yours to keep. You don't have to return them. In fact, you're encouraged to share them with friends and family, in order to broaden the worldwide Spiritual Cinema community.

The cost of the service is kept deliberately low, so the maximum number of people can participate. If you join now, you pay the new member rate of only $21 per month instead of the regular $29 fee (plus $3.95 shipping and handling; outside USA $7.95).

There's no risk - you may cancel your membership at any time. And remember, you never have to return any of your DVDs, even if you decide to cancel your membership.

Join the Spiritual Cinema Circle Program NOW and enjoy an inspiring experience month after month!

 

I joined the Spiritual Cinema Circle several months ago and I've
never been more inspired!  I highly recommend you try it."
