Back then, we were worrying about the Millennium Bug, paying $700 for DVD players, and using pagers. 1999: a century ago. And yet, the show continues to have an impact that is arguably unique. If you live or work in DC, references to it are inescapable. People have walked down the aisle to the theme music. Or they’ve named children, pets, GPS systems, and even an iPhone app after the characters. Or they’ve started Twitter accounts as the characters to continue the storyline and comment on current political events. Or they credit it for closer relationships with their family members or a way out of depression. In this anthology of quotes and essays, contributors from six countries, ranging in age from twenty to seventy years old, tell their West Wing stories.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Proverbial wisdom advises against discussing politics and religion in polite company. However, Aaron Sorkin and the producers of the award-winning television series The West Wing (NBC, 1999–2006) didn’t seem to get the memo. Still popular and surprisingly relevant several years after its final episode, this primetime dramatization of a fictional presidential administration regularly incorporated religious rhetoric, perspectives, and practices in its characters and storylines. With episodes featuring such explicitly religious titles as “Take This Sabbath Day,” “Faith-Based Initiative,” and “In God We Trust,” and with characters with such biblically based names as Josiah, Josh, Toby, Abbey, and Sam, the series took thoughtful religious faith seriously and implied that spirituality can serve as a vital component of civic virtue. While by no means an exhaustive examination of all seven seasons, this collection of essays explores some of the more prominent portrayals of religious faith and practice throughout the series to prompt and guide the readers’ own reflections and observations. Discussion questions are also provided at the end of each chapter for use in watch parties and other small group gatherings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Finding Truth in Fiction, two media psychologists reveal that there's much more to our desire to seek out stories in film, TV, and books than simple diversion - fiction can help us find truth in our real lives. Whether you consider yourself a fan of popular media or whether you find yourself thinking of a particular fictional scene for inspiration, you are not alone. Though some assume that interest in a fictional world is a sign of psychological trouble, the authors enthusiastically disagree. Because story worlds are simulations of our social world, we use them to make sense of our experiences and even decide what kind of people we want to be. This makes fiction far from trivial. By exploring our relationship with fictional stories and characters, the authors will examine how we create mental models in our minds so we can understand stories and characters and how we differentiate between the identities of characters and the actors who play them. What story arcs, such as the hero's journey, are we drawn to again and again? How do the moments that strike us as important in a story change as we age and move through different stages in our life? Delving into these questions and many more, the authors conclude that being a fan is not just healthy, it's human.
