Holy Hollywood: Viewing God Through the Lens of Cinema (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798385067466)

Holy Hollywood: Viewing God Through the Lens of Cinema is an admission ticket into the curious theater of analogy. In this narrative, familiar scenes from movies are used to shine a spotlight on the love of God, the word of God, and how we can apply His word to our lives. Some topics covered include criticism, life interruptions, the God and mankind power struggle, and the authenticity of Jesus which are compared to movies such as Jaws, Silver Linings Playbook, Cool Hand Luke, and Talladega Nights. Movies offer more than entertainment. The connections we make with them and the lessons we learn from them stick with us long after the film is over. God's word in the Bible does the same. By borrowing examples from films, this book is able to illustrate God's word in vivid ways. Over thirty Bible verses are referenced and over sixty movies are mentioned. The Great and Powerful isn't at the end of a long yellow brick road; He's as near as a heartbeat. From page to page, come and experience for yourself the relevance of the Bible and the tangible involvement and love God has had for you through every day of your own life movie.
