Elizabeth Bernhardt loves Jesus. She also loves acting. But marrying the two has been a confusing endeavor. Even after trying to make it in New York and earning a graduate degree in theatre, the path still seemed unclear. As she continued to struggle with the boundary-blurring, temptations, and emotional struggles of the actor's life, Elizabeth knew there must be a better way.

Part memoir, part research project, part Bible study, The Power of Pretend: An Actor's Struggle to Unite Faith & Work is Elizabeth's vulnerable invitation to wrestle alongside her as she seeks to take both her faith and her work seriously. It's a book for Christians and non-Christians, artists and non-artists. Asked with equal parts introspection and humor, investigation and poetry, The Power of Pretend contains a challenge for every reader: Why do you do what you do?

  • Elizabeth is genuine and funny as she reflects on her own experiences and challenges all of us, even the nonactors like myself, to live integrated lives. -Blake Schwarz Director of The Pegasus Institute, Park Cities Presbyterian Church, Dallas, TX
  • Her raw, real and thoughtful struggles will help other artists realize their journey is both meaningful and relevant. This book is a perfect example of what it means to wrestle with God. -Rev. Joel and Michelle Pelsue Co-founders, Arts & Entertainment Ministries, Los Angeles, CA
  • As a professor of film, including a class on acting for the camera, this will be one of my new textbooks. -Dr. Arnold Ytreeide Ph.D., Director, The Film School @ NNU, Northwest Nazarene University
