In Christianity, as with most religions, attaining holiness and a higher spirituality while simultaneously pursuing worldly ideals such as fame and fortune is nearly impossible. So how do people pursuing careers in Hollywood's entertainment industry maintain their religious devotion without sacrificing their career goals? For some, the answer lies just two miles south of the historic center of Hollywood, California, at the Oasis Christian Center. In Hollywood Faith, Gerardo Marti shows how a multiracial evangelical congregation of 2,000 people accommodates itself to the entertainment industry and draws in many striving to succeed in this harsh and irreverent business. Oasis strategically sanctifies ambition and negotiates social change by promoting a new religious identity as "champion of life"-an identity that provides people who face difficult career choices and failed opportunities a sense of empowerment and endurance. The first book to provide an in-depth look at religion among the "creative class," Hollywood Faith will fascinate those interested in the modern evangelical movement and anyone who wants to understand how religion adapts to social change.

What Hollywood Believes written by Ray Comfort and has been published by Living Waters this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2004 with Religion categories.

Designed as a tool to reach the unsaved, this intriguing book has enormous evangelistic potential. Ray Comfort shares the spiritual beliefs of over 120 top Hollywood stars from past and present, such as Tom Cruise, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Madonna, Peter Jennings, Winona Ryder, John Wayne, and George Clooney, with beliefs ranging from reincarnation to the idea that God is a woman, "a deity created in our image," or "a shaft of light in a doorway." Most importantly, the author compares many of the celebrity views against the Bible, so that the gospel is clearly communicated throughout the book's pages. Readers will be challenged to examine their beliefs as they are gently persuaded by God's Word. In addition, the book will strengthen believers in their own faith by discussing the evidence for the existence of God, inspiration of the Bible, divinity of Jesus, etc. This riveting book makes an excellent evangelistic gift, with many readers buying one copy for themselves to gain insight into what others believe, and additional copies for lost friends and neighbors to lead them to the truth.

When it comes to Hollywood, Christians too quickly wash their hands of popular culture and leave this immensely influential media to unbelievers. In truth, the industry is listening. There is a church in Hollywood, but too often their work is unrecognized. Behind the Screen offers a glimpse of Hollywood insiders who, through their jobs on movie sets, behind TV shows, and in radio broadcasts, work together to give glory to God. With contributions from the writers and producers of such productions as Joan of Arcadia, Mission Impossible, Batman Forever, That '70s Show, and others, believers everywhere are encouraged to join with the church in Hollywood and do their part in closing the gap between Christianity and culture.

"Between 1907 and 1975, Hollywood movie-makers made 575 movies specifically set (although not usually filmed) in Canada. That statistic will startle those Canadians who have been told that foreign audiences won't sit still for a film about their country. As Pierre Berton points out in this explosive, tragic, and often funny book, the opposite is true. Movies about Canada have been making money in international markets for half a century. But the Canada that has been shown to the world is very different from the real Canada; and the Canadian image - now firmly fixed in the minds of three generations of moviegoers - is a caricature of the real thing. If Canadians have no sense of their own identity, it is partly because American movie-makers have distorted and blurred that identity. And if foreigners think of this country as a land of snow swept forests and mountains, devoid of larger cities and peopled by happy-go-lucky French-Canadians, wicked half-breeds, wild trappers and loggers, savage Indians and, above all, grim-jawed Mounties - that's because Hollywood has pictured us that way. Berton, who has examined the plot of almost every movie made about this country, finds that the Hollywood image of Canada and its people have been consistent since the first one-reel silent firms were made in 1907. The prairies are rarely shown almost every movie is an outdoor film set in the wilderness- the only city mentioned with any regularity is Montreal. The "Great Woods" begin at the border and stretch on the Artic Circle. The Canadian frontier is seen by Hollywood as an extension of the American frontier-lawless and violent, peopled by gunslingers, and studded with gambling halls and saloons. The Mountie is treated as an American frontier marshal in a red coat. The Klondike and the Yukon Territory are totally confused with Alaska. Our great historical adventures, when they are dealt with at all-the building of the Canadian Pacific, for example, and the Riel Rebellion- are distorted to the point where they are unrecognizable. Cecil B DeMille's production pf North West Mounted Police was hailed by international critics- including Canadians- as the most authentic pictures ever made about the Mounties; but, as Berton shows in fascinating detail, DeMille turned history topsy-turvy and managed to give the impression that the Mounties themselves had okayed the firm. Berton's research, which has taken him from London to Hollywood, and which makes use of hitherto unpublished material from the files of the RCMP and the Public Archives of Canada, reveals in detail the successful efforts of the Hollywood lobby to quash a quota system for films in post-war Canada- a system that might have given us a native -born movie industry. The book is studded with illuminating discoveries: a plea from Rudolph Friml's office to Pierre Elliot Trudeau begging him not to destroy " the beautiful legend of Rose Marie' (The author points out there are four legends , all totally different ); an RCMP commissioner's wistful telegram to Hollywood; "Mounted police would appreciate being left alone;" the Yukon River steamboat sequence slipped into a movie about the Dionne Quintuplets: the trails and tribulations of an ex-Mountie acting as technical adviser in Hollywood. These are some of the surprises in a book which is not only an exciting, revelatory narrative of more than sixty years of exploitation but also a work of careful scholarship"-Publisher

With his signature wit and sidesplitting hilarity, David's story of faithfulness, grounded in the biblical truth that no dream is too big for God, will inspire you to relentlessly pursue your dreams, and in the process, bring the reality of God's kingdom a little closer to the here and now. God has planted a dream in your heart that is both unique to you and essential to the world.
