Stories We Tell

How TV and Movies Long for and Echo the Truth

By: Mike Cosper, Collin Hansen, Timothy J. Keller

Narrated by: Lloyd James

The average American watches 5 hours of TV every day. Collectively, we spend roughly $30 billion on movies each year. Simply put, we’re entertainment junkies. But can we learn something from our insatiable addiction to stories? Mike Cosper thinks so. From horror flicks to rom-coms, the tales we tell and the myths we weave inevitably echo the narrative underlying all of history: the story of humanity’s tragic sin and God’s triumphant salvation.

This entertaining book connects the dots between the stories we tell and the one great Story—helping us better understand the longings of the human heart and thoughtfully engage with the movies and TV shows that capture our imaginations.

very heart changing

this helped to change the way I bite the works. it is a much needed reality check for Christians.

Ho mum

Not what I expected. I don't view most of what the book is about movies and tv. These moves and everything that were viewed in writing this are of no interest to me. Been down that road and all they do is rob me of keeping my mine and heart in God's word.
One thing he sure watches a lot of movies and tv.
