Hollywood Be Thy Name

Product Overview

In the beginning Hollywood said "Let there be light," and it created great movies that reflected the values of the average American. But something went terribly wrong, and movies became filled with blasphemy, adultery, and violence. The bright light became a gross darkness, and today Hollywood spouts blasphemy and answers to on one. "Hollywood Be Thy Name isn't just another publication criticizing the entertainment industry. It's an eye-opening book that will shock you. More than that--it will put a rock-loaded sling into your hands that can hit the blaspheming giant between the eyes. While this book exposes the godless agenda of the entertainment industry, at the same time it is filled with fascinating facts such as: what Cecile B. DeMille believed about God; how John Wayne hated filth in movies; and anecdotal material such as the time Jim Carrey first arrived in Tinsel Town and couldn't find a Bible when he needed one. Is it true that Hollywood was first established a a Christian community? What was it that Hollywood did in 1968 that changed everything? "Hollywood Be Thy Name" solves the mystery of why this one influential town has been so out of step with mainstream America when it comes to the things of God.

Loving Truth Books & Gifts Review

Ray Comfort is a talented writer, teacher, and active evangelist with a great passion for reaching people for Christ, so it is not surprising that to some people, this book might ruffle a few feathers or come across as what some might label as "preachy." Whatever your opinion, the far-reaching impact that Hollywood has on how people view the world is undeniable. Celebrity magazines and shows abound and our culture eats it up. No doubt about it.

Have you ever stopped to consider much of the history of Hollywood? What about the ideas and beliefs that shape Hollywood? The ideas and philosophies and thinking about faith that trickle down to our common culture via Hollywood are influential indeed, although most people would deny just how much of an impact Hollywood actually has upon their individual views. The impact is so powerful that you may not have even realized just how much Hollywood and its proponents have shaped your own view of the world.

And how should Christians interact with Hollywood? What films and ideas should we promote with our time and money? How much blasphemy is acceptable? How much sin will we accept on screen? And how will that depiction and acceptance of sin deaden our consciences to what is abhorrent to an Almighty God? You will ponder these questions and more as you read this entertaining and enlightening book by Ray Comfort.
