Two different world-views. Two different sets of values. Hollywood and people of faithmdash;two worlds in conflict and the chasm that exists between them. Dr. Larry Polands book; Chasm: Crossing the Divide Between Hollywood and People of Faith; explores the century-old warfare between the world of entertainment and mainstream Americans; those "flyovers" between Hollywood and New York. It is filled with fascinating first-person stories exposing the conflicts over excess; entitlement; God; the Bible; and intrinsic value. Dr. Polands three decades in Hollywood as a consultant on the faith community informs his analysis. Stories from inside the industry are told with insight and good humor even amid some biting criticisms of those on both sides of the divide. Far from a "basher" or "tell all;" Chasm is a call for those in both camps to get across the divide and build trust relationships as a basis for positive interchange; meaningful dialogue; and the pursuit of more redemptive media content. Is a truce possible? Find out here.

I grew up in Estes Park in the 1970s and have known Steve for a long time. The town has had quite a history for its smallness. Three floods over the last 30 plus years. The visitors that come by the millions each year to the National Park and the somberness of it all. A great read Thanks Steve P.S. If you ever do a follow up I hope I make the top 1000 Lol0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
