"Batman stares down the laughing Joker. Luke Skywalker clashes lightsabers with Darth Vader. Iron Man sacrifices himself with a snap of his fingers to save the world. Our eyes are glued to the screen. Why? Movies combine humor, action, and drama to create stories that amplify the fight between good and evil. Along the way, they impart inspiring life lessons on justice, purpose, courage, strength, faith, and love. They also teach us about our Creator. Just look at blockbuster movies from Marvel and DC and film franchises like Star Wars, The Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter. Each of these fictional stories reveals deep truths about God. Complete with a recommended watch list, Hollywood heroes outlines a collection of characters from popular movies to highlight their best qualities and biggest obstacles. Together, their stories become a set of modern-day parables that point back to God and His mission for us." -- Page [4] of cover.
