A movie treatment presents the idea of the film before writing the entire script. It highlights the most important information about the film that came from the book; it includes the title, logline, story summary (that may be presented as three-act movie plot summaries), and character description. Treatments also give authors the chance to condense their story concept so they can pitch it to studio heads or producers who might want to fund the movie.
“Is That Really in the Bible?” by Cletus McMurtry received the Book to Hollywood Movie Treatment after the successful movie script coverage that was previously written for the book. Considering the suggestions from the first level of writing a screenplay, the movie treatment shows the flow of the story that’ll be good on screen as it shows the thrill and suspense of how the characters deal with the conflict.
Has your entire world been crumbling down lately? Do you feel as if suddenly nothing is making sense?
All your previous beliefs and ideas have been shattered. Do you have any questions related to religion that you dare not ask your local church leader because you fear their disappointment and judgment? The first thing I want to tell you is to never fear. Humans are intrinsically curious beings who need answers to their confusion before they can truly accept something.
In this book, “Is That Really in the Bible?”, you’ll find concepts and theories that are backed up by empirical data as well as my personal reflections and opinions. The book doesn’t aim to make anyone more religious or change anything for them. The basic reason is to make you much more aware of religion and inspire you to ask all the questions that cross your mind.
The book focuses on the Bible, not religion itself. The Bible is a divine book that anyone can read, yet religion serves as a map for people to navigate their lives. The author recounts personal situations in which they narrowly escaped death and believed that someone intervened to save them. They were helicopter gunship pilots in Vietnam, flying risky operations such as the Nighthawk Mission. The book tries to help readers comprehend the genuine meaning of the Bible and is based on what the author has shown over the years rather than any religious instruction or mentorship.
“Is That Really in the Bible?” by Cletus McMurtry is a thought-provoking work that invites readers to examine biblical teachings, question familiar interpretations, and explore the Scriptures through logical reasoning and personal reflection. The book approaches the Bible from a perspective that encourages readers to look beyond traditional assumptions and consider the historical, cultural, and interpretive nuances found within its pages.
McMurtry explains that his intention is to understand the Bible as a stand-alone book without allowing religious preconceptions from his earlier years to dictate his conclusions. Rather than simply accepting every commonly repeated interpretation, he encourages readers to distinguish biblical information from ideas and claims that may have developed through human interpretation over time. His approach offers an opportunity to revisit familiar passages with curiosity and a willingness to investigate what the Scriptures actually communicate.
