Books on movies written from a Christian standpoint often discuss Hollywood’s messages without teaching readers how to evaluate movies themselves. The Message Behind the Movie (Moody Publishers) seeks to accomplish this, as well as instruct believers in what to do about those messages. Readers will be able to understand the basics of movie interpretation, identify and interpret key ideas, and provide an uncomplicated defense of the Christian message. In a fun and approachable style, The Message Behind the Movie will help enable you to wisely engage a film and the culture without disengaging your faith.

Here are updates regarding the completion of The Message Behind the Movie.

• ON SHELVES NOW! We made our May release date, the book is now available wherever fine Christian movie books are sold!
• Projected Release Date: I finished the manuscript in mid-October. The book is in editing and is slated to be released in Spring 2009 (probably in May).
• The cover art is done as can be seen from the images on the website. I think the artists did a really good job. I had about six choices and this was my favorite from the first time I saw it.
• Barbara Nicolosi has agreed to write the foreword! I am very excited about this. She is a Christian in Hollywood who is doing exactly what should be done – working in the industry to change it from the inside through high quality artwork rather than hiding out in a Christian ghetto.
