Elizabeth Bernhardt was committed to both Jesus and the craft of acting, but it felt like she had to choose one or the other. Even after trying to make it in New York and earning a graduate degree in theatre, she wondered how to faithfully follow Christ while seeking to work professionally in the arts. As she continued to wrestle with the boundary-blurring, temptations, and emotional fallout 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 alike.

Originally published in March 2020 by Sword & Swan Media House, The Power of Pretend is a behind-the-scenes look at one woman's struggle to align her work with her worldview. 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?
