You love movies. Who doesn't? In Finding God in the Movies
Catherine Barsotti and Robert Johnston show you how to combine your
love of movies with your desire for God. Introducing thirty-three
films of faith-ranging from Tender Mercies to X-Men-the authors
identify and explore key biblical themes like forgiveness, faith,
and repentance. An enthusiastic guide for the individual movie
lover or small group, this resource contains production notes and
film synopses, relevant Scripture texts, theological reflection,
recommended video clips, discussion questions, and more. It will
deepen your fervor for film and for God. "I've often suggested that
Christians open up their homes for a film night: show a movie and
follow up with snacks and a discussion. It's a simple idea but, for
most people, is tough to carry out. Where do we begin? We begin
with Finding God in the Movies. Robert Johnston and Catherine
Barsotti have done a wonderful service in creating a book that
teaches believers how to analyze films. Use it alone, with your
family, or, better yet, invite the neighborhood."-Charles W.
Colson, Prison Fellowship "To read God into movies is not
difficult. To find God there waiting for us-now, that is something
else altogether. Finding God in the Movies peels back God's
presence in thirty-three compelling films, leading us from
superficial analysis and utilitarian agendas to deep, personal
engagement. Bravo!"-Sally Morgenthaler, founder, Sacramentis.com
"Barsotti and Johnston demonstrate their incredible ability to
dialogue with both Hollywood and the community of faith. Unlike
other film review books, they appropriate each film's vision of
life and invite the reader to interact with it. Hereis an
invitation to enhance your journey of faith via the silver
screen."-David Bruce, host of HollywoodJesus.com "Written with
humility, grace, and sensitivity, Finding God in the Movies will be
a tremendous resource for those seeking light inside the cinema.
More than just a guide to great films, this book is a window into
how to engage them; and find on the other side, a deeper
understanding of the Lord."-Todd Komarnicki, filmmaker, producer of
Elf "In every arena of youth ministry today, we are seeing that
movies are providing students many of their takes on life. Finding
God in the Movies can help you use movies more authentically in
your teaching and outreach. I wholeheartedly recommend this
book."-Cliff Anderson, vice president of training and strategic
resources, Young Life
