Film Forming Faith

By Stephen Gesinski

In our culture, one of the main ways of telling stories is film. Some Christians want to discount films as being of the secular world and have no value to faith or isolate themselves to only pre-approved films. These films oftentimes provide little entertainment but wish to preach at the audience. In Film Forming Faith, Stephen Gesinski - co-host of Catholicism and Coffee, film and theology nerd, and filmmaker - goes through his film and faith journey, highlighting how various virtues portrayed in films were instrumental in this journey. This memoir gives examples in both film and real life of how certain virtues or vices can influence an individual's beliefs and actions. These lessons from films impacted Stephen's discerning of how to manage friendships, finding his calling as a storyteller, desire to serve others, and even his journey to marriage. This book gives in-depth insight into theology, film, and storytelling.
