Dillon Burroughs and Matt Mitchell on FamilyNet TV

For Immediate Release:

Dillon Burroughs (coauthor of Generation Hex) and Matt Mitchell (director of Pray and Pray 2) will be interviewed on FamilyNet TV (www.familynet.com) Tuesday, October 14th, on the topic of Positive Christian Responses to Halloween.

Second only to Christmas in holiday spending, Halloween now dominates the culture's attention through films, costumes, books, and more. But how can Christians respond to a night often associated with a dark message?

"Halloween is historically and culturally a dark night that celebrates ideas inconsistent with the Christian faith," says Burroughs. "However, we are called to make the most of every opportunity, including Halloween. We have a unique night in which many are likely to stop by our homes or attend an event. It is a perfect time to build new friendships to share the light of Jesus."

Churches offering children's events, candy with Christian messages attached, and "trunk or treat" alternatives are only a few of the many ways people are responding to communicate Christ during Halloween.

One unique alternative is Matt Mitchell's latest film Pray 2: The Woods (praythemovie.com). Shown in select theaters and now available on DVD, this Cross Shadow Productions motion picture provides a Dove-approved, PG-rated alternative to the graphic content often highlighted during the Halloween Season.

"Ultimately, it's about pointing people of all backgrounds toward the light of Jesus," shares Burroughs. For more information, see www.readdB.com or www.praythemovie.com.

Chat Transcripts for Generation Hex Interview with Abunga.com

We've had some requests for the transcript of the Abunga.com chat interview we did last week. I've included the link below for the full 17-page pdf at Abunga's website. This is an excellent, family-friendly book retailer I highly recommend (Of course, it helps that they made me one of their featured author's this week. Thanks, Abunga!).

Thanks again for all of you who have encouraged Marla and I on Generation Hex in recent weeks. And if you're reading this and haven't had a chance to share your feedback on the book, please email me at dillon@dillonburroughs.org. I appreciate it!

Film and TV News...
In other news, the film The Imposter I appeared in starring Grammy-award winning Kevin Max (of DC Talk) will be released in theaters in Texas next month! If you live in the area, please check it out.

In addition, Matt Mitchell's latest film Pray 2: The Woods held its premiere release in Raleigh, NC last weekend to much acclaim. I mention this for two reasons: 1) I love his style of Christian filmmaking, and 2) I helped write the film's study guide. The DVD releases today. You can order a copy at ChristianCinema.com, my favorite Christian film website.

Plus, if you haven't heard about the film Fireproof (by the Facing the Giants guys), you have to see it. It comes out this weekend nationwide. I viewed an early edition of it this summer and highly recommend it.
