You Are What You See has gotten a wonderful review over on Christian Book Notes:

"If you are a youth pastor or even a college & careers pastor, you should really read this book. It will provide some excellent talking points with the youth and those you minister to as regards what they watch."

If you want more information on my book, you can get sample chapters at the official site.

Julie Davis of Happy Catholic was kind enough to include me in her podcast FORGOTTEN CLASSICS this week.


Julie discusses my book You Are What You See: Watching Movies Through a Christian Lens. I also read Chapter Six: Hollywood's Lowercase God for her show.


Click the link and listen in. Julie's podcast is always interesting and she is a welcoming and thoughtful host (I thought that before she promoted my book).


If you like what you hear, you can get more sample chapters, videos, resources or just plain ol' buy the book at the official site http://www.youarewhatyousee.com.

There is a phenomenon known as Ratings Creep. Ratings Creep is when content of a film becomes more palatable over time as society's tastes coarsen. What was Rated-R in 1980 is now PG-13 or PG. What was PG yesterday is Rated-G today and so on.

I also discuss the purpose and mindset of the Motion Picture Association of America. Do they work for you or are they there for the studios?

In 2007, I died. I had a devastating heart attack and croaked. I was brought back to life by the EMTs and things went on from there. In this clip supporting my new book You Are What You See: Watching Movies Through a Christian Lens I briefly talk about my near-death experience and discuss the downside to surviving.

Today is the day.

You Are What You See: Watching Movies Through a Christian Lens
is finally available.

What is You Are What You See about?

We, as Christians, are the stewards of the culture, and for the past fifty years we have been too comfortable ignoring our responsibilities. Any change in the culture and the Arts has to come not just from the artists but from the audience.

We need a renewed Christian aesthetic in the cinema.

Join us in the quest for a revolution in the Arts and a revitalization of our Western culture. Learn a Biblical approach to watching films and television–to reading and understanding Story so we can impact our culture for Christ.
You Are What You See: Watching Movies Through a Christian Lens pulls off the cultural blinders that prevent Christians from seeing that the Arts are good for our culture and for humanity at large. When we become educated, involved audience members, we can improve our understanding and facilitate open, less conflict-based dialogue between non-Christians and Christians–connecting people looking for answers with the One who is Truth.

Can MOVIES do that?!

They can if you know how to read them and how to use what you see to tell family, friends, neighbors, or the check-out clerk at the store about the messages they see every day. Sounds like someone who used to be thirsty telling someone who needs a drink where to find thirst-quenching water!


If you need more convincing you can check out the book summary, table of contents, free videos and sample chapters at the official site http://www.youarewhatyousee.com.


The book also has its own Twitter Account and YouTube Channel.


To save 20% on the purchasing You Are What You See, you can become a fan on the Faecbook Page to learn more.

Thanks for all of the support. I hope you enjoy the book!
