Have you ever sat down with your family to watch a great movie only to find out that the movie you picked is not very family friendly? That's happened to our family before, even just when my husband and I are wanting to watch a movie by ourselves. This book is designed to stop that from happening. Jonathan Decker has picked 250 movies from the classics like Singin' in the Rain to more contemporary movies and talked about them. Each of the movies has a synopsis, content, and lessons that can be learned from them. This book is really great for those of us who want to be able to pick a clean movie to sit down and watch with our children, without having to worry about plugging their ears or covering their eyes or feeling the embarrassment that comes from too much adult talk in a movie. So pick up a copy of this book and then go out there and find yourself a great family movie to watch!
I was sent an e-copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
