Gaming and the Heroic Life: A Quest for Holiness in the Virtual World by Bobby A

Description: Gaming and the Heroic Life by Bobby Angel, Blevins Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Video games fuel a fundamental human drive for adventure--like the epic quest to slay zombies, a solo voyage to rescue the princess, or setting off with a clan to defeat the final boss. The desire to be a hero in your journey is something Bobby Angel can relate to. A lifelong gamer, he was the cohost of the God and Gaming series on YouTube and often appears as a guest on Bearded Blevinss Around the Halo on Twitch. In Gaming and the Heroic Life, Bobby explains that you dont have to just play the role of hero in a game--you can actually pursue a heroic life by the way you engage the virtual world. Gaming and the Heroic Life is a map to becoming not only a better gamer but also a better person--one who has a purpose and knows where they fit into the world. The book contains three levels: Level One explores why people love games and what games have to do with God. Level Two examines how the Easter eggs of truth, beauty, and goodness in games impact players in much the same way that they impact your relationship with God. Level Three demonstrates how gaming can propel players AFK (away from keyboard) to find purpose and meaning in service to others. Bobby shows where video games intersect with a life of faith in God--how games echo with our call to holiness and how we can respond to that call in both the virtual and real worlds.
