Hollywood Worldviews: Watching Films with Wisdom & Discernment (Unabridged‪)‬

The Book that Started an Audience Revolution

Hollywood Worldviews was the first book to come out that taught Christians how worldviews are integrated into movies and television.   

It has guided a generation of believers in how to appreciate movies and interpret them with wisdom and discernment.   

It has helped Christians avoid the two extremes of rejecting movies with blanket condemnation or embracing movies in the name of “mere entertainment.”   

Now, in this updated expanded edition of the classic, award-winning Hollywood screenwriter Brian Godawa gives you the tools for being an active participant in culture without being seduced into compromise.

The tricks screenwriters use to communicate their messages.
Hundreds of examples of movies that illustrate the various worldviews.
