What do Sherlock Holmes, Star Wars, A Christmas Carol, and Charlotte's Web have in common? Seven identical and profound themes.
Actually we use only these four stories as examples of seven inescapable themes, found in whole or in part in every story in every medium from books to movies. I believe these themes are inescapable, not because our culture imposes them upon creators but because they reflect our deepest longings. Even in our current climate of deconstruction, any story that truly denies all these themes at once does so only with the clear intention of ignoring these very themes, thus providing greater support for the inherent expectation for and love of these concepts in us.
We would really like to believe this is real this longing for meaning, for plot and design and divine appointment, for redemption, for justice. I have come to believe the good news that our desire for meaning arises from the truth that there is meaning. There is a story behind the universe that makes it all makes sense. Every story we write, draw, compose, or perform is a seeking after that one true story of the universe. This is why the themes continue to pop up in story after story.

Seven Themes You Can't Escape How Our Deepest Longings Keep Showing Up in Story (Audible Audio Edition) David R Megill Stephen M Schedra Discipleship Matters Books Reviews
A great book about the themes in our favorite stories-and why the presence of those themes make certain stories our favorites! I've had fun finding these themes in the stories that surround me in books and movies. Discussing these themes with friends and family has challenged me to think more deeply and thus enriched my experience of "story". Enjoyable read!
I enjoyed this quick read and have already started spotting the 7 themes in books and movies since beginning this reading. The Epilogue ties the themes together in a way that connects your heart to the stories you already love. Megill clearly has enjoyed his "game" of spotting the themes in his favorite stories, but does a clear job of translating those heady ideas to the page for his readers.
I have been waiting for this book for a long time. I enjoy the game of searching out each theme in all the books and movies and even kids shows I come across. Great work Dave.
Megill is clear, witty, and engaging. His analysis is insightful and made me think about books, movies, stories in a new way, yet what he said made sense because he tapped into truths we all know about stories. The best stories resonate because they have these seven themes. I liked his follow up questions, which could make for deep discussion with friends, even if they haven't read the book. Accessible yet deep book.
This will change how you take in and evaluate stories that you read and watch. I was aware of some of these themes, but not all of them. As you become aware of these themes, you'll see them showing up everywhere! Also, don't skip the anti-themes chapter in the appendices.
