Book description:
The Christianity Today Study Series delves into today's vital
cultural issues to get to the heart of what these topics mean to
readers.
Each eight-week study is based on articles written by today's
leading Christian authors and published by Christianity Today
magazines. These remarkable studies foster deep, authentic, and
relevant discussion that will challenge and grow any small group
Good Entertainment takes on a variety of topics,
including:
- The intersection of Christian faith and pop culture
entertainment (for example, literature, movies/TV, and music)
- How God can speak to us through the arts, even though it seems
much of today's media messages are largely amoral
- How Christians should deal with and discern between
entertainment that is meaningful and appropriate and entertainment
that is destructive and should be avoided

In a post-modern world with all its bells and whistles this text
is excellent for any group not wanting to be a puppet of technology
but a critical thinker of Jesus Christ. Divided into several
chapters this group Bible study tackles such areas as literature,
culture, television and movies to name a few.
What I enjoyed about reading this study is that it takes critical
thinking serious and has an inductive flavor to it, based on the
evidence what do you choose to believe. The other aspect of this
book that is excellent is that it presents arguments based on
Scripture references and these can be used for discussion.
I heartedly support this group study text as I think it has been
well done. There is a challenge for all levels of maturity. A new
believer will benefit from this as well as the Christian who has
years of maturity. Good conversation will abound in a group using
this study.
