DESCRIPTION

Get ready for an insider's view into the world of film-making and Hollywood...

Right within these pages you will find revelations of Christians working in and through this wide-reaching industry...

Debunking the myth that the sacred and secular are two separate and distinct philosophical and spiritual worldviews that cannot be intermingled, this book is a "prophecy" for our times.

Packed with insights from the industries' top players including the writers and producers of X-men, Joan of Arcadia, That 70's Show, this book invites us on a faith trip to one of Christianity's long-time avowed "enemy" - Hollywood. The "world" out there is not to shunned and avoided, but to be infiltrated with the message of hope that the Gospel brings.

This is what this book is all about...to bring Christian culture and faith into the masses, and with Hollywood as the medium and method, many can be reached with the positive message of wisdom, faith and love that Christianity brings. Not just movies that are "Christian" movies which will be immediately shunned by the common public, but blockbuster hits that can carry the Christian message through the numerous values and uplifting themes they may carry.

Behind the Screen should have a permanent place on the bookshelf of any person who wants to think critically about the relationship between faith and art.--InFuze Magazine

The book is easy to read while at the same time thought-provoking. Behind the Screen offers advice on script-writing, on whether one should pick up and move to Hollywood, and on telling compelling stories. It is in giving ?creative guidance? in order to fill the void that this book not only works but also challenges and inspires.?--www.theculturebeat.com
