Love stories fall on the week of Valentines Day. War stories fall on the week of Memorial Day, and Christmas stories just prior to Christmas. Each devotional contains: the movie title, the year of release, a listing of any Academy Awards it may have won, a listing if it made the American Film Institute Top 100 films of all time list, and its MPAA rating and reason (content), along with biblical references so the reader can do additional reflection. Each day's readings begin with a short movie overview, a discussion on how that movie or scene relates to the Christian walk, and a short prayer to God of thanksgiving and request for maturity about the issue discussed.
