Finding faith at the movies

the long version

This practical, hands-on book will help Christian educators, youth leaders, and adult spiritual formation directors use films -- from classic to contemporary--to explore faith within the usual 40-50 minutes time slots. Mraz provides an introduction, related Scripture passages, and carefully selected film segments (with VCR counter numbers and DVD settings). Using twelve movies, including Saving Private Ryan, Smoke signals, and Dead Man Walking, thought-provoking discussion questions challenge participants to examine issues from temptation and forgiveness to gratitude and redemption.
