"I've often suggested that Christians open up their homes for a film night: show a movie and follow up with snacks and a discussion. It's a simple idea but, for most people, is tough to carry out. Where do we begin? We begin with Finding God in the Movies. Robert Johnston and Catherine Barsotti have done a wonderful service in creating a book that teaches believers how to analyze films. They provide excellent examples of thoughtful criticism and great discussion questions to engage our minds. Use it alone, with your family, or, better yet, invite the neighborhood."--Charles W. Colson, Prison Fellowship, Washington, DC"To read God into movies is not difficult. To find God there waiting for us--now, that is something else altogether. Finding God in the Movies peels back God's presence in thirty-three compelling films, leading us from superficial analysis and utilitarian agendas to deep, personal engagement. Bravo!"--Sally Morgenthaler, founder, Sacramentis.com and Digital Glass Videos"Written with humility, grace and sensitivity, "Finding God in the Movies" will be a tremendous resource for those seeking light inside the cinema. More than just a guide to great films, this book is a window into how to engage with them and find on the other side a deeper understanding of the Lord."--Todd Komarnicki, filmmaker, producer of Elf"An important and insightful book that held me spellbound. Once again, Catherine Barsotti and Robert Johnston demonstrate their incredible ability to dialogue with both Hollywood and the community of faith. They offer rich spiritual insights and astute observations on 33 films. Unlike other film review books, they appropriate each film's vision of life and invite the reader to interact with it. Here is an invitation to enhance your journey of faith via the silver screen."--David Bruce, host of HollywoodJesus.com"In every arena of youth ministry today, we are seeing that movies are providing students many of their takes on life. Those of us seeking to minister to youth need effective resources to help them engage in dialogue between faith and film. Barsotti and Johnston have been teaching Young Life staff for a number of years to creatively do this. Now their book, Finding God in the Movies, can help you use movies more authentically in your teaching and outreach. I wholeheartedly recommend this book."--Rev/Dr. Cliff Anderson , vice president of training and strategic resources, Young Life, Colorado Springs, Colorado
