It is unusual for me to see a movie, but in this case I do, catching the last showing. This is a movie that leaves you thinking. I must admit, the beginning of this movie left me feeling very uncomfortable. Should we pursue Christ, or “Party on.” I guess if you don’t believe, then “party on” is acceptable. However, there is so much more.
In this movie Dr. Sol Harkens (Kevin Sorbo), who is a leading author of atheist books, finds faith after a near death experience, in which he sees his deceased son. His wife, Katy (Sam Sorbo) has been praying for him. There children are portrayed by their real life children, but these two carry the film. If you are an atheist, what do you do with this type of experience? The scientific wisdom, is that the neurons in the brain are all firing at once, creating hallucinations. However, this explanation does not work for Sol. He and his wife take their new found faith, and create a miracle. Cameos by Sean Hannity and Dionne Warwick. Kevin Sorbo also directed, and Sam Sorbo helped with writing. This movie is in limited release this week, but with a good showing will get wider release. Worth seeing and is an alternative to the the "R" stuff showing.
