Publisher's summary

The faith-based film industry is booming! But it comes at a cost: faith-based films are a marketable representation of Christianity, not necessarily a biblical one. Created by secular corporations and marketing demographics, such movies often reduce Christianity to fit corporate concerns.

But what if, instead of watching Christian movies, we learned to see Christian themes and values in all movies?

In this book, you'll learn how movies can awaken our moral imaginations to Christian themes that still pervade our films. And you'll discover how our children can encounter depictions of truth that lead to a life of wisdom and virtue.

Here is a preview of what you'll learn....

  • How to watch a movie and discern its meaning
  • How to identify Christian themes in films
  • What is the moral imagination and how it leads to virtue formation
  • How to teach your children to watch movies and cultivate wisdom
  • And much, much, more!

With this valuable resource, you and your children will see movies in a whole new light! You'll never watch a movie the same way again!

Very moving, insightful, & spiritual movie summary

I loved this book! I will watch each of the popular movies examined here in a whole new appreciative light going forward. Dr. Turley points out the wonderful moral lessons that are offered in several popular movies such as "Up" and "Forest Gump," just to name a couple. I've been a fan of Dr. Turley's YouTube channel for several months now and I can verify that this man is brilliant in his understanding of culture and art. He's also a brilliant political commentator but this book does not address politics. As stated from the introduction, this book was written from a father's perspective of discussing moral lessons in movies with his children. I can't recommend this book enough, especially if you have young kids.
