by Dick Staub (Author)

Written by award-winning radio personality Dick Staub, this compelling book is filled with anecdotes from the Star Wars films that serve as a launching pad into rediscovering authentic Christianity. Christian Wisdom of the Jedi Masters also contains quotes from revered "Jedi Christians" such as Thomas Merton, Teresa of Avila, the Apostle Paul, G. K. Chesterton, and other theologians, mystics, writers, and philosophers. The author sheds new light on the struggles and challenges of living faithfully in postmodern life and offers a reintroduction to what C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien called the "one true myth," Christianity.

Front Jacket

Spiritual Themes in Star Wars That Reflect the One True Myth--Christianity

Dick Staub's tour through the spirituality of Star Wars is inspiring and fun. Anyone like me, who grew up lionizing Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia, should read this book. It will both carry you back to your childhood and support your spirit as you make your way through adulthood.
--Lauren Winner, author, Girl Meets God and Real Sex: The Naked Truth About Chastity

For years Dick Staub has been digging into popular culture to expose the threads of spiritual gold that run through it. Star Wars is his mother lode, and with eloquence he echoes Master Yoda announcing to young seekers, 'Already know you that which you need.'
--Jeffrey Overstreet, film columnist/critic, Christianity Today and Paste Magazine

Dick Staub is a Christian warrior sage who unashamedly trains and equips the present generation for this one true mythic battle.
--Marty O'Donnell, audio director, Bungie Studios; winner, Rolling Stone Magazine's 2003 Best Game Soundtrack of the Year (for HALO)

Star Wars seems to have stolen our message, wrapped it in science fiction, and changed entertainment. Dick Staub challenges us to take it back, wrap it around our everyday reality, and change people's lives.
--Rand Miller, CEO, Cyan Worlds; cocreator, Myst, Riven, URU

Like a Jedi master, Dick Staub delivers sharp, counterintuitive insights that the next generation seeks. Prepare to discover a force far greater than any you've ever imagined.
--Craig Detweiler, author, A Matrix of Meanings: Finding God in Pop Culture

Few public figures have as much experience brokering the conversation between media culture and Christianity as Dick Staub. Both pop culture artists and inquisitive Christians know that his reputation rests on his ability to speak to both audiences, to keep it real.
--Tom Beaudoin, author, Virtual Faith: The Irreverent Spiritual Quest of Generation X and Consuming Faith
