Is it possible to beat the odds and make a
movie unlike anything ever done before?
Or, will they lose everything in the pro-
cess? Two unknown producers struggle to
fulfil their dreams to change lives through
the power of film. With millions of inves-
tors’ dollars on the line, everything starts
to fall apart and they realize they may be in she is willing to go to any lengths to pro-
over their heads.
Could they change the world—before the
world changes them? Filmmakers Chase
Ryan and Keith Ellison left the mission field growing notoriety brings increasing trou-
of Indonesia for the mission field of Hol-
lywood with a dream bigger than both of
them. Now they have done the impossible:
raised enough money to produce a feature
film with a message that could change the
world. But as Chase and Keith begin shoot-
ing, their well-laid plans begin to unravel.
With millions of dollars on the line, they
make a desperate attempt to keep the film
from falling apart—even as a temperamen-
tal actress, a botched production schedule,
and their own insecurities leave little room
for the creative and spiritual passion that
once motivated them.
Was God really behind this movie after all?
A chance meeting and friendship with John
Baxter could bring the encouragement
they need to stay on mission and produce
a movie that will actually change people’s
lives. In the midst of the questions and the
cameras, is it possible to keep things above
the line and make a movie unlike anything
done before—or is the risk too great for
everyone?

A COMPASSIONATE CALL
TO COUNTER CULTURE
BY DAVID PLATT

Welcome to the front lines. Everywhere
we turn, battle lines are being drawn―tra-
ditional marriage vs. gay marriage, pro-life
vs. pro-choice, personal freedom vs. gov-
ernmental protection. Seemingly over-
night, culture has shifted to the point where
right and wrong are no longer measured by
universal truth but by popular opinion. And
as difficult conversations about homosex-
uality, abortion, and religious liberty con-
tinue to inject themselves into our work-
places, our churches, our schools, and our
homes, Christians everywhere are asking
the same question: How are we supposed
to respond to all this?
In Counter Culture, New York Times best-
selling author David Platt shows Christians
how to actively take a stand on such is-
sues as poverty, sex trafficking, marriage,
abortion, racism, and religious liberty―and
challenges us to become passionate, un-
wavering voices for Christ. Drawing on
compelling personal accounts from around
the world, Platt presents an unapologetic
yet winsome call for Christians to faithfully
follow Christ into the cultural battlefield
in ways that will prove both costly and re-
warding. The lines have been drawn. The
moment has come for Christians to rise up
and deliver a gospel message that’s more
radical than even the most controversial is-
