The Unabated Tension Between the Silver Screen and Masses of Faith

Larry Poland slices through the ever present tension that divides the inhabitants of timeless Hollywood and those that make up the Conservatives of Faith. Larry displays first hand experiences inside the world of Hollywood and brings to the surface the dispute over elemental value, the Bible, prerogative, and God. End Quote

New York, NY (1888PressRelease) October 09, 2014 - Morgan James Publishing's (www.Morgan-James.com) new release Chasm: Crossing the Divide between Hollywood and People of Faith by Larry W. Poland, Ph. D. provides a way to ease the tension between the secular world of Hollywood and "Moral America."

It's no secret that the world of media entertainment and the conservative faith sector do not get along. They both have different morals and values and Poland makes it clear that they are both responsible for the large trench between them. Both have engaged in mud slinging and they have such diverse opinions that it seems impossible that there could ever be peace between them, but Poland believes that there is hope.

Some of the problem comes from misunderstanding between the two sides. Poland opens Chasm with the revelation that Hollywood may not be all that it is cracked up to be. Most Americans have a skewed perspective of what Hollywood represents and Poland attempts to correct it and paint an accurate picture of Hollywood and the people who run the entertainment industry. He uses compelling stories and well-researched evidence to prove his points.

Poland has readers' attention during his very first anecdote. His humility and peacemaker attitude commands respect from both sides of the divide. He apologizes for the mistakes that the people of faith have made, but he does not exclude Hollywood from blame either. He looks at the chasm from the viewpoint of several different conflicts such as the dispute over the nature of good and evil or the conflict over entitlement.

Poland eloquently preaches a message of peace and love as a committed Christian. He applauds integrity and will not compromise his own personal beliefs; thus, he has no desire to push his own convictions on those who will not accept it. Readers from all worldviews can appreciate Poland's respectful opinion.

Making peace is not easy, but Chasm is a start. Poland knows that Hollywood and people of faith will never have the same beliefs, but he asserts that peace is possible if people have the right attitude toward each other. Chasm will enlighten and challenge readers; however, they could change the world if they follow through with Poland's advice.
