This review is from: Weekend at the Movies (Paperback)

The back cover says it all "Youth and movies go together like popcorn and soda." This 1999 ninty-seven page paperback from Abington Press is a terrific resource for youth ministers, priests and teachers to provide a fun filled retreat experience for youth in their church, school, or youth group. This "how to" manual provides leaders with everything necessary to conduct 14 different theme retreats using videos of recent popular movies. For example, movies such as "Plesantville" "Dave" "Big" are used to reflect on "Innocence Lost" Everything is included from copyright issues and movie passes to cautions about specific issues on adult situations in the movies themselves. I reviewed this book in my seminary class and came right home and ordered one. No sense in doing extra work when God and the Abington Editorial Team headed by Wm. Eric Skinner have handed you a "ticket" to success in organizing youth retreats.
