Message Behind the Movie: Now Available (& Free Offer)!

Religious discussions today often center around worldviews and culture . . . and nothing affects the worldviews of today’s culture more than movies!

The Message Behind the Movie: How to Engage With a Film Without Disengaging Your Faith – a unique book on movies written from a Christian perspective – NOW AVAILABLE from Moody Publishers (keep reading for a free offer).

Most Christian books on movies discuss some of Hollywood’s messages but fail to equip believers to evaluate them, or how to turn those messages into opportunities for discussing the faith. The Message Behind the Movie teaches the basics of objective movie interpretation, and message evaluation in light of the Christian worldview. This unique book will be especially helpful for those fearful of evangelism or who simply would like a more casual means of getting into the truths of the gospel with friends, co-workers, family, etc. The book gives a simple outline for understanding and evaluating movies:

ACT ONE deals with how movies communicate messages with a focus in on how style and background elements contribute to the message of the movie.

ACT TWO concerns evaluation of movie messages concerning religion, truth, God, and the Bible. Sample dialogues are included to show how these messages can be used in conversations when defining or defending the faith.

ACT THREE wraps it all up with biblical principles of discernment concerning film viewing.

The book is available from Moody Publishers, Amazon.Com, BarnesandNoble.Com, and Christian Book.Com.

I am also available to speak on the subject at conferences, church events, etc. Click here for speaking info.
