Summary:
"Josh Larsen brings a critic's perspective to the way movies function as expressions to God--expressions of lament, praise, joy, confession, and more. Whether he's discussing a recent release like 12 Years a Slave or a classic like Chinatown, Larsen's expertise and passion for the art of film, along with his thoughtful reflections on the nature of prayer, will bring you a better understanding of both. God's omnipresence means that we can find him whether we're in a church or in the seats of the movie theater. And when words fail, the right film might be just what we need to jump-start our conversation with the Almighty."--Back cover.
