ABOUT THE BOOK

The Force Is With You: Mystical Movie Messages That Inspire Our Lives (Walsch Books/Hampton Roads October 15, 2002), author Stephen Simon discusses over seventy films and concludes that those films, and scores of others, constitute a genre of film (Spiritual Cinema) that has yet to be recognized as such, until now. (Spiritual Cinema does not pertain to traditional religious films.) Simon also gives the reader a first hand insight into the spiritual messages of these films and the film making process itself; furthermore, he makes daring predictions about the future of spiritual filmed entertainment. From films about "Reality and Time" (such as Matrix, Vanilla Sky, and Beautiful Mind) to films about "Visionary Adventures" (such as Star Wars, 2001: A Space Odyssey, and Lost Horizon) to films about "The Power of Love" (such as It's A Wonderful Life, Cast Away, and Sleepless in Seattle), Simon's new book explores and illuminates inspiring movie messages from the unique perspective of a man who has actually produced classic films in the very genre his book examines-Somewhere in Time (Christopher Reeve, Jane Seymour, Christopher Plummer) and What Dreams May Come (Robin Williams, Cuba Gooding, Jr., Annabella Sciorra). Simon's book includes separate chapters detailing the behind-the-scenes saga of both these films.

Force connects two of the most extraordinary phenomena of our times: movies and spirituality. Box office grosses and ancillary sales for films have recently broken all previous records. The dawning of the new millennium has seen an explosion in interest in all aspects of spiritual entertainment. The publishing industry has recognized this phenomenon for years and has established a whole new category called Visionary Books, several of which are always on best seller lists. Television has embraced the phenomenon with huge hits such as Touched by an Angel and Crossing Over. The music industry has embraced visionary music (such as Enya and Enigma) for several years and platinum albums by such stars as Madonna and Jewel have recently contained spiritual themes. Hollywood has yet to capitalize on the power of Spiritual Cinema and its potential to lead box office revenues. Simon believes that the time has now come for the film industry to recognize Spiritual Cinema as its own genre, represented by an existing audience numbered in the tens of millions who eagerly await films that embody the power and hope of visionary stories.

"As we evolve as a species, we hit certain key moments in that evolution when old ways are discarded and new maps of behavior are forged. Movies are the most electrifying communications medium ever devised and the natural conduit for inspiring ourselves to look into the eternal issues of who we are and why we are here." - from the Introduction to The Force is With You :Mystical Movie Messages That Inspire Our Lives
