o Angela Walker, Exec. Editor, ChristianCinema.com: “For those who wish to be equipped to watch film thoughtfully, Scott Nehring’s book is an important tool. He carefully examines our culture, provides instruction about film structure, and provides specific references to familiar movies to illustrate his points. This book has a place in my library, and I’d recommend it for anyone who wants to dig deeper into films and their meaning beyond the obvious.”
o 5 out of 5 stars from Midwest Book Review: “Cinema is a massive part of the modern culture, and they have a massive impact on the world as it is today. You Are What You See: Watching Movies Through a Christian Lens delves into the importance of movies to culture, and what they mean to a Christian family. A thoughtful discussion of movies and what they mean to Christian morality, You Are What You See is worth considering for the pondering Christian.”
o Dr. Charlie Starr, Humanities, Kentucky Christian University: “I am especially grateful for Nehring’s argument that, while culture war may have its place, imposing censorship is not the solution to our problems—that the choices out there aren’t the problem, but our own heart is. The choices we’re likely to make—that’s where the problem lies; that’s what we need to concentrate on.
“Higher praise, however, goes to ideas Nehring expresses which are seldom expressed anywhere else. I agree with his analysis that external rating codes placed on movies are insufficient guidelines for judging a movie’s merits. I also agree that watching film can be an act of ministry—it can keep us culturally relevant and create opportunities for sharing our faith."
