A faith-centered field guide to entertainment work

Ted Baehr’s guide addresses the practical and ethical dimensions of pursuing work in Hollywood from a Christian perspective.

The book frames creative work as a way to bring faith-informed contributions to mass-market entertainment, connecting career development with questions of purpose and values. Its range makes it relevant across several areas of film and television production, rather than concentrating on a single craft.
