Are You Just Watching?: The Entertained Christian's Handbook to Consuming Media with Purpose

By Eve Franklin

You grab the popcorn, plant the family on the couch, and flip on the TV, but have you checked your brain at the door?It may be the latest release at the theater, a DVD, a streaming movie, or even a binge viewing of a new TV show. Sometimes, it might be the big game and the commercials that run between snippets of live television. Worst of all, it's even the news and nature programs that should be factual, believable, and safe for the whole family. Media comes in all forms and every single one of them contains a certain level of indoctrination that can influence us in really bad ways if we shut our brains off and don't pay attention. Eve Franklin, host of the Christian movie review podcast Are You Just Watching?, uses her experience analyzing movies from a Christian worldview to help you consume media with purposeful enjoyment and not just brainless abandon. Use this guided journal to chronicle your consumption of 20+ pieces of media. But keep your Bible close in whatever form is most handy . . . you're going to need it The handbook provides the space to take notes and record your observations, but your active participation is necessary for you to become an educated and purposeful Christian media reviewer, whose biblical worldview glasses stay within reach and whose "truth" meter is tuned and ready at all times.
