I just watched the film last night as well. I had never heard of Angus Buchan before the movie, so I don't know anything about him......but, I'd have to agree with Phil, it certainly did seem to me that his faith was largely based on signs and wonders. His preaching was mainly about his experiences rather than Scripture itself. And, there was no clear message of the gospel....which I also think if it was based on his faith, the gospel would have been most God-glorifying!
Some of the things that I did like.....
Personally, I liked the fact that it was set in Africa.....it reminded me of my time there, and I really enjoyed the film because of that! One of the other things I liked, was that it did show a transformation in his life. In the beginning, he was quite angry and violent most of the time....but after he became a believer, you could see that his heart had changed. Also, during an altar call (which I'm not fond of altar calls) I liked the fact that not only did he go up, but he took his entire family with him. He later said in the film, that he gave his life and his entire family's life to Jesus. It was neat to see his role as the head in that repect! I think if you filter out some of the other things it would be a worthwhile film to watch. Just my
