{"product_id":"9781611644524","title":"Faith and Film: A Guidebook for Leaders","description":"\u003cp\u003eGrowing numbers of church leaders are discovering that many films are able to impact viewers with gospel truths almost as well as a good sermon. Ed McNulty, a former pastor and longtime reviewer of films, offers this guide to help church leaders enter into dialogue with contemporary films. McNulty carefully crafts a theology of movies and then provides practical suggestions for creating and leading movie discussions with groups. In addition, he provides people from all across the theological spectrum with a framework to understand whether the overall message of a film outweighs concerns over profanity, violence, or sex in the film. He concludes by introducing twenty-seven films and including provocative questions about each that will prepare leaders to assemble and facilitate a group.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePopular films explored include \u003ci\u003eThe Color Purple\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eCrash\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eHotel Rwanda\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eThe Matrix\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eMillion Dollar Baby\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eO Brother, Where Art Thou?\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Shawshank Redemption\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Westminster John Knox Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47157567815920,"sku":"9781611644524","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781611644524_p0.jpg?v=1763840641","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781611644524","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
