This work seeks to integrate Christian thought and devotion with the viewing of those few films that actually explore the real pain and joys of being human, that look deeply into ethical issues and dilemmas, and that at times enter into worlds far different than our own. In a culture where there are more young adults gathered in the Friday and Saturday night cinema congregation than in church on Sunday morning, Christains must dare to engage the classics of the screen with a Christian mind - indeed, to pray the movies, believing that through them God can speak a word of grace to us and to the world.
