Finding God in Hollywood is the story of a millennial who moved to Hollywood with Jesus in his heart and stars in his eyes. Nathan's words are filled with honest thoughts, deep insights, and beautifully-told stories about auditioning, being on set, hanging out with movie stars, tasting fame, falling in love, doubting, desiring, and discovering God in the most unexpected place - Hollywood. From a young age, Nathan discovered a deep love for stories and the God who created them. He was captured by both the parables of Jesus and the movies on his television screen. But it seemed that both the religious and secular world believed that God had nothing to do with Hollywood. Nathan found out that they were both wrong. After over a decade of working as an actor, and a lifetime of being a believer, Nathan shares his stories and reflections on what the Divine has to do with films, movie stars, and stories.

Links film history with church history over the past century, illuminating America’s broader relationship with religious currents over time Moments of prayer have been represented in Hollywood movies since the silent era, appearing unexpectedly in films as diverse as Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm, Frankenstein, Amistad, Easy Rider, Talladega Nights, and Alien 3, as well as in religiously inspired classics such as Ben-Hur and The Ten Commandments. Here, Terry Lindvall examines how films have reflected, and sometimes sought to prescribe, ideas about how one ought to pray. He surveys the landscape of those films that employ prayer in their narratives, beginning with the silent era and moving through the uplifting and inspirational movies of the Great Depression and World War II, the cynical, anti-establishment films of the 60s and 70s, and the sci-fi and fantasy blockbusters of today. Lindvall considers how the presentation of cinematic prayer varies across race, age, and gender, and places the use of prayer in film in historical context, shedding light on the religious currents at play during those time periods. God on the Big Screen demonstrates that the way prayer is presented in film during each historical period tells us a great deal about America’s broader relationship with religion.
