"The drama of popular culture is used as a bridge to connect us with the drama of the Mass-the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus."
Michael J. Daley, St. Anthony Messenger
"This is a wonderful new resource that pairs a host of popular, 'secular,' films with lectionary readings. It is full of rich resources for integrating faith and films."
Mary Hess, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Educational Leadership, Luther Seminary
"Lights, Camera... Faith! is the most imaginative and engaging contemporary contribution to the art of preaching, making Hollywood a splendid resource for the pulpit. The homilies are still to be written and some of the films to be seen, but the method is now ours for the taking!"
Walter J. Burghardt, SJ, Senior Fellow, Woodstock Theological Center, Georgetown University
