No offense to any Christian, this is probably the first Christian Movie, I have seen, are they all like this??
Couldn't sleep, so was channel flicking at a hotel. Came across a movie on the Hope Channel. (A Christian channel)
A Drama
Movie premise, sales man loses Job, and family might get evicted from their home.
Wife says to Husband, "This is horrible, we are going to be evicted from our house"
Husband "Well at least we didnt get evicted from the garden of Eden like Adam and Eve"
Wife "We are going to lose our home"
Husband "It's God's Home"
Family goes to stays with sister, Dinner table scene....
"Where is he"? (Talking about a kid)
"Oh hes out having fun, hes saying his Prays"
Other little kids ask parents, if they eat their vegetables and do their chores can they also say their prays.
Man who lost his job is talking to his friend, who has a bumper sticker on his car that says "Socialism is when you spend other
peoples money"
Kid hurts himself rock climbing and is rushed to hospital, doctor comes in and tells family he has operated and
the kid will be okay, Dad looks up and says "Thank you God, for saving our baby"
The acting was what you expected.
Not sure who the targeted audience was? Christian kids??? Christian adults???

- Other children who die in surgery are doomed by their parents unbelief. What kind of a god would kill a child as a penalty for the parents screwups? Answer: the one in the Bible.
