David A.R. White is a preacher's kid from a small town next to nowhere, with God-given dreams that pushed him naively and courageously into the Hollywood abyss. I trust and I have enjoyed working for and with David and was surprised because I thought I knew much of his successful journey into The Business. I was pleasantly surprised to read of his trials and tribulations as he has proven to be a significant Hollywood player while armed with his faith and trust in God. Between Heaven and Hollywood is filled with inspiration from a man who grew up on a wheat farm in Kansas without a single connection in Hollywood . . . except perhaps his connection to God. After reading this book I'm reminded of how deep his faith is, and why he was making Christian movies long before it was considered good business. He has accomplished a small miracle: honoring the Lord while making successful profitable films of faith in Hollywood. This book is an inspirational guide to following your God-given dreams and reminds us that it's our unexceptional ordinariness that make us so uniquely extraordinary. Take a chance and read this book . . . it could change the way you see yourself, your faith, and how you go about pursuing your life and dreams.
Ted Mc Ginley, Actor and Star of Do You Believe?
David A.R. White, in his book Between Heaven and Hollywood, has touched the human heart as he strikes a familiar chord with all people who desire to see their dreams fulfilled in their lifetime. In his popular movies God's Not Dead and God's Not Dead 2, we see him stand firm and fearless in his faith; being bold in his presentation of God's infinite character to a world who blatantly denies His existence. As with his work on screen, this book will enthrall the reader to aspire to the heights he has reached. He is a man who has defied the odds and demonstrated his persistence in pursing his dreams according to God's divine purpose.

David's story will inspire you to honor God by pursuing the dreams He places in your heart. Between Heaven and Hollywood gives you a roadmap of how to overcome the challenges you will face if you seek to be a witness for Christ in the public arena.
Dr. Rice Broocks, Author of t he book God's Not Dead
I met David when we worked together on the set of the Pure Flix film Redeemed. This book and how David lives his life are an inspiration to me and many others who feel called to work in the entertainment industry.
Megan Alexander, National TV Reporter; Author of Faith in the Spotlight
Reading David's story, I felt at times I was reading about myself because our stories are similar in many ways. Citizens of Heaven, working in Hollywood. As he points out so eloquently, each of us is a deliberate creation of God, with a God-breathed dream inside us. And each unique, with a wonderful future
-if we let Him lead us. I wish every young dreamer would read David's story; it's entertaining, sometimes funny, often inspirational, and eventually thrilling. And it's chock full of God's Word and will for all of us, but employed in individual and surprising ways. You've done big things, David
-but this book may well be your best production.
Pat Boone, Entertainer
As a child I could daydream with great ease, and so many of the things I dreamed were realized with equal ease. But then as a child my trust in God also came so easily . . . then, I had a childlike faith. As time went on, as it undoubtedly will . . . the challenges of life . . . the many stumbling blocks and heartbreaks called into question that faith, demanding all the while that I deepen my relationship with God and strengthen my dependence on Him, if once again, the dreams He placed in my heart were ever again to become a reality. I only wish I had this gem of a book to encourage me along my journey and make the path a bit more clear, as I surrendered the dreams in my heart to His purpose for my life. But I have it now. This book not only reawakens our ability to dream, it can reintroduce us to the greatest relationship of our lives. Dreams are but a vision of His Plan for Our Lives.
