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.

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.
