Movie and Book Recommendations

Here are some movie, book and show recommendations/sources to help you and your family, friends or anyone else enjoy wholesome entertainment!

Plugged In

Plugged In is a branch of Focus on the Family (see Journey of Faith, Sources for your journey page). They are a Christian group that writes detailed reviews on the content of movies, books, shows, and a whole lot more. They are invaluable for finding out about entertainment before you partake in it, or get connected to it.

I know my family has turned on movies and immediately turned them off because of some bad content in them. You can avoid this altogether by just going onto Plugged In or a similar site and think about what you’re going to be watching and decide whether you’re okay with it or not before you, or your kids watch it. It doesn’t take long.

Here is the link to their website:

With this, I want to challenge you to pay attention to watch you’re watching, listening to and reading because whether you realize it or not, entertainment affects you a lot. It even affects you more than other things because it tugs on your emotions. If what you’re taking into your mind and brain is not pure, or if it is marred in any way, that will affect you more and more over time. So please, examine what you take in and be aware that what you choose to take in will affect you for good or for bad. I have noticed mood changes and mindset changes both for good and bad depending on the music I listen to.
