This book subtitled Thinking Christianly about style, media and entertainment is aimed at a younger audience than I represent but it was good just to go trough things with a man who knows his culture and (it seems) his Bible. After three chapters of introduction he looks at cinema, journalism, fame, fashion, thrill seeking, comedy, advertising, technology and photography before a final moan about how bad it is Christian-wise in the world of TV and movies and a final chapter on what to do. Each chapter ends with discussion/reflection questions, book and website suggestions and things to do suggestions. You could spend ten years on a book like this! It's good to know that books like this are coming out.
A blog featuring whatever I fancy, often on the Christian faith but not exclusively
