OVERVIEW

After years of trying to understand how to integrate her faith with her work in the performing arts, Elizabeth Bernhardt was still searching for answers. As she continued to struggle with the boundary-blurring, temptations, and emotional struggles of life as an actor, she knew there must be a better way—one only God could show her.

This book is an invitation to all actors and artists who feel like they have to choose between a passionate pursuit of Christ and excellent creative work. Can we trust God enough to do the impossible? Can we dare to believe that by making God our director, we will be the artists we were created to be, watching the Kingdom touch earth through our work?

Topics covered include:

· Romances & Showmances

· Identity and Self-Justification

· Sexual Misconduct: Actors as Sex Objects

· Acting + Family = Impossible?

· Living as Exiles

· Love the Audience

· He Completes Me
