The Weekly Newsletter of Christianity Today International
Wednesday, October 10, 2007
One year ago 20th Century Fox launched Hollywood's first "Christian" film label, Fox Faith. While Christians flocked to see movies such as The Passion of the Christ a few years back, Fox Faith hasn't seen the same success with their own faith-based films. Many have flopped at the box office while doing better in video sales and rentals.
So what does this mean for the future of Fox Faith? In this week's feature article, CT at the Movies looks back at Fox Faith's first year, their ups and downs, and the upcoming projects they hope will give the brand a boost.
As always, be sure to check out the rest of the articles in the right-hand column of this newsletter and on ChristianityToday.com. We hope they will help you grow in your faith as you go throughout your week.

 Fox Faith: Is It Working?

My pastor-husband Scott has a sweet tooth, so I knew the chocolate chip cookies I'd just baked might disappear before I returned from running errands.
To discourage him, I taped a verse on the wrapped goodies: "'Everything is permissible for me'—but not everything is beneficial ... " (1 Cor. 6:12).
When I returned I found half the cookies gone and another verse attached: "The righteous eat to their heart's content, but the stomach of the wicked goes hungry" (Prov. 13:25).
