Publisher's Summary

Seven fictional stories - Captain America, Iron Man, Harry Potter, Star Wars, The Lord of the Rings, Batman, and Wonder Woman - point us to the ultimate hero, Jesus Christ.

Think about it. What if Batman knew your name and wanted to be friends with you? What if you were the one that Tony Stark died to save? What if it was you that Luke Skywalker would stop at nothing to redeem? Hollywood Heroes will awaken you to these questions and help you to see a God who stops at nothing to redeem you. And it will strengthen you to invite others into conversations of faith and life in Jesus.

Fictional stories about heroes help us realize that there is evil to fight, souls to be won, and growth to be achieved. It helps us recognize - regardless of religious or cultural beliefs - that sacrificing your life for another’s is a powerful and beautiful display of love.

Fictional heroes help us to reconsider what is tangibly in front of us through the lens of story rather than simply as just another day in our ordinary lives. Appealing straight to the heart, the stories bypass artificial barriers that we would normally block them with because our worldview has been threatened.

When we examine out-of-this-world qualities like idealism, genius, a willingness to sacrifice, discipline, loyalty, humility, courage, wisdom, focus, power, and love, we discover that Jesus practices them perfectly.

This was terrific and so relevant to today...

I once commented to a friend (as we sat in the cinema waiting for the latest Marvel Universe movie to start) that the reason for the popularity of these things is because we live in a desperately-broken world that is desperate for heroes, men and women who stand up in the face of overwhelming odds and, say "This is wrong! Let's fix it!" Needless to say, I completely enjoyed Frank and Zach's overview of some of the great heroic characters we've all come to love, why we love them, and more importantly, their resemblance to the Greatest Hero of Them All, Jesus Christ. Well done, fellas!

A great read for movie lovers everywhere, and for people who want to understand what all the fuss is about with all these superhero movies, man! :-)
