In this compelling exploration, Froom dives into the unique ways gaming has become a space for spiritual reflection, moral decision-making, and even community worship. From MMORPGs to indie titles, he unpacks how game narratives mirror theological themes like redemption, sacrifice, and hope. Can gaming be a path to God? Can virtual worlds deepen real-world faith?
