"Brian's analysis is insightful and stimulating. Our biblical values are colliding with worldviews in the movies, and Brian shows us why. Those values are also illuminated by intersecting with movies, and I find that especially exciting. We might even understand the Bible with more insight from seeing these connections. The chapter on sex and violence is worth the price of the book.
"What I appreciate the most is Brian?s attention to detail, to a wide number of movie examples, and his ability to simply frame the arguments of overused words like postmodern. He doesn?t talk about the surface issues from a country-club Christian perspective but helps me discern what movies are about. I appreciate the hard work he has done and look forward to reading and rewatching some of these movies again."

"The greatest special effect in any movie is a great story. Brian Godawa, a screenwriter himself, understands this and understands the power in a good story?s underlying assumptions. His fine book is a helpful guide for everyone who likes to go to the movies without checking their faith at the door."
