eo games may be pleasantly surprised to find that many elements in those "virtual worlds" also qualify them as "virtuous worlds.""Virtuous Worlds is just what anyone would need to bridge the gap between video games and Christianity. Even some¬one like me who isn't really a part of any religion can find this book uplifting and supportive." ~ Michelle "Akuriko" Morse, award-winning cosplayer, featured in Nintendo Power"While video games are often seen as immoral influences, Stanifer takes a more nuanced look. Analyzing a variety of games, he discusses how they support Christian be¬liefs. This will be a fun read for any Christian gamer and a reassuring one for many parents." ~ Scott Jones, Ph.D., Associate Professor of New Media Communications, Indiana University Kokomo"I was surprised and impressed at the number of spiritual lessons John drew from a variety of games. Members of any faith can find tremendous worth in reading this book. I thoroughly recommend it to anyone who has the mis¬conception that video games are just for entertainment purposes." ~ Laura "Flute Link" Intravia, vocalist and flutist for Video Games Live"In Virtuous Worlds, Stanifer will teach you to play video games better by understanding the spiritual truths of this world. He will also do the reverse: he will teach you to play your life better by understanding the truths of the video gaming world." ~ Caleb Grimes, author of Star Wars Jesus"So often Christians are fighting against culture, but John has utilized one of those rarely used gifts: the ability to see God's Grace working in the world and through the lives of others even when they least expect it." ~ Rev. Derek White, Christian Gamers Guild
