I've seen it a couple of times. I believe it has been discussed on the board. It is worth seeing.

I thought it was pretty good. It actually kept my attention. Most 'Christian' movies don't.

P.S. I was on vacation, but want to say something about Theo-didactic. Perhaps another thread, or a PM?

I liked it. Yes, some quasi-dispy stuff, but a decent apologetic. I'd recommend it.

Gentlemen,
Thanks very much. That is helpful. I didn't find any previous threads on this movie, but it sounded intriguing. I may see it soon.
Adam,
Sure thing, brother, a pm would be preferred, and it might take a little time for me to respond, since my schedule is full for the time being, but I would be happy to discuss further.
Blessings to all!

Yes, see the film. I would seriously consider it good enough for evangelism - perhaps sponsoring a public showing of it. It does have (to my mind) a whiff of a dispy slant to it, but not enough to make it unacceptable.
It has a moment of sheer comic genius towards the end, when two hypocritical christians (who see the main character disappear in a lightening cloud - time travel) look at one another in horror and cry 'oh no! we've missed the rapture!'
