Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Blistering performances.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Now, I have seen a lot of Christian movies and not many of them had actually brought me to tears than this one did. This is truly a moving movie, that many people can actually relate to, especially if you lost someone and blamed it on God. I highly recommend viewing this movie and see what you can get out of it. The movie was truly beautiful from the start and how it portrayed tragedy was heartbreaking, especially the last part of the film.The movie stars the amazing Lou Gosset Jr, but the real star of the movie is the Preacher, played by Michael Higgenbottom. His character was amazing and was really adorable in some of his earlier scenes. But his character has some of the best moments as you reach the middle of the movie, struggling with his emotions as he tries to deal and help with Bill McDonald played by Michael Joiner.Michael Joiner's Bill McDonald is the most relatable character in the movie, as many of us has been like him before. Grieving over the loss of a loved one or just be nasty to everyone we talk to. His story is not only tragic, but also tear jerking, especially the last half of the movie, when he reveals what he is truly feeling. The way the movie ends is how ALL of us should treat one another, with love and respect, but also be forgiving of those who has cause us pain and heartbreak.My one advice for you, just watch the movie, don't let the Christian themes scare you away. In my opinion, when movies have Christian themes like this one, it's bound to be a great movie, and they are the better choices for movies. This movie should viewed by everyone, as it will touch your heart and even pull your heartstrings a bit.Now the music in this movie was perfectly done. The songs in this movie was amazing, and they really reflected the tone and the emotions the characters were feeling. If there was one thing that this movie wins, is with the songs they used in this movie.Now, my overall view of the movie is this, this is by far the best Christian movie I have ever seen. It ranks all the way up there with amazing Christian movies like God's Not Dead and Do You Believe? All great movies with heart touching stories. But be careful when showing this to kids, as the themes of this movie could sadden them or scare them. It is best to show this to kids who are ages 10 or older, as they could handle the themes.

One of my favorite Christian based movies. A couple of different stories: one with troublesome father and high school angry son, not getting along with each other because the father has some guilt issues, involving his younger son and the angry son, failing at a private school because he's hanging out with some bad kids (outside of school). The dad is a cop and gets a new partner; a negro police officer. The negro police officer gets the promotion that the white cop wanted so he's angry about that, too. In addition, the white cop has some racist issues. I liked the mother's (cop's wife) role, she does her best as being a good wife and mother. A twist at the end. We loved the ending. Surprising to see actor Louis Gossett Jr. he has a part in this movie. We are fans of Louis Gossett Jr from way back.

I can't believe I wasted 2 hours of my life watching this tripe. I sheepishly admit that I watched the whole movie because I couldn't believe it could be so bad for so long . . . it seemed to last for about four hours? Even leaving aside the sickly condescending Sunday School Christian overtones, the movie is bad on so many levels. The acting is gratingly cheesy, the dialogue almost unintelligible, and the plot is just one cliché after another. It's as though the screenplay has been written by a teenage girl. It's so trite and melodramatic that it probably couldn't even get a slot on daytime TV. How they can charge to view this drivel is beyond me. As a Christian, I can honestly say that the only value in this movie is that it gives you a foretaste of purgatory.

I came across this movie quite by accident, or maybe divine intervention. I say that because this movie come to me at a time where it 's message helped me. This movie may suffer in ratings as mainstream people tend to shy away from 'religious movies' as they're called. This movie does not preach. Instead it uses a good storyline to teach a valuable lesson. Mainly we learn to put things in context, and that many people out there who are mean, or horrible to others are themselves hurt. The walking wounded who become bitter and set on a path of destruction. If we can see the other person's hurt, we can understand where they are coming from and possibly meet them half way. Instead of hating them, we need to love them. The movie itself tells of the strained family relations after a devastating accident, how the even changes the family members individually and how one person't faith can indeed make a difference. It's a story about grief, growth, healing, family, and salvation. There is one part of the movie that warrants being written down and remembered; I know I did that! I am very thankful for this movie and think that like minded and open minded people will enjoy it. Happy viewing.
