New book releases November 10 with the director’s cut screenplay, production photographs, and the story behind the film
KALAMAZOO, Mich. (November 5, 2026) — Abundance Books releases Behind the Scenes of Conceivable: The Ministry in the Movie by Rev. Beth Caulfield on November 10, 2026. The companion to the feature film Conceivable takes readers inside a filmmaking journey shaped by personal experience, collaboration, and an appointment to ministry in the cinematic arts.
An ordained elder in the Global Methodist Church, Caulfield serves in an extension ministry that includes making faith-based films, encouraging churches to engage with film and filmmaking, and mentoring others pursuing their gifts in the cinematic arts. Her appointment began in February 2024 through the denomination’s Northeast Annual Conference.
For Caulfield, that ministry begins long before an audience sees the finished film. The book explores how the project unfolded as a team effort, with opportunities to serve cast members, crew, and the communities where the film was made.
“Not only is the movie product a ministry, but the movie-making process lends itself to ministry for those involved and to the communities in which we film and produce the movie,” Caulfield said.
Inspired by Caulfield’s life, Conceivable addresses faith, family, and unplanned pregnancy. She served as its screenwriter, co-director, producer, and actress. The film’s theatrical release runs October 16–November 15, 2026, in select U.S. theaters. Her work also includes partnerships with pregnancy centers, abortion recovery groups, churches, and other organizations supporting women and families.
Behind the Scenes of Conceivable includes the complete director’s cut of the screenplay, behind-the-scenes photographs, and guidance on how to read a screenplay. Readers gain insight into the project from script development through post-production, including aspects of the original script that offer a different experience from watching the finished film.
The book invites readers and ministry leaders to consider how they can encourage people with gifts in the arts. It also gives aspiring filmmakers a look at the practical work, relationships, and personal commitment involved in bringing a feature film to the screen.
Caulfield hopes the book and film will encourage thoughtful discussion about faith, creativity, and supporting people facing unplanned pregnancies.
“My prayer is that both will create space for honest conversations and a deeper awareness of God’s grace,” she said.
The book releases in paperback, hardcover, and Kindle editions wherever books are sold. Review copies and author interviews are available upon request.
