Inspired by the death of Kirk Cameron's close friend who succumbed to cancer at the age of 15, Kirk Cameron takes viewers on an inspiring and hope-filled visual journey to better understand the biggest doubt-raising question in faith: "Where is God in the midst of tragedy and suffering?"
I was so excited to watch this DVD, but I have to be honest and say I have mixed feelings about it.
Pros: *It shares the gospel creation through the resurrection.
*Kirk shares from his heart and out of his struggle with the question.
Cons: *There are a few parts that seemed very weird to me. I didn't like his reenactment of creation, the fall, and Cain killing Abel. I almost turned it off after these parts.
*I also disagreed with a few of the things Kirk said in his interpretation of events in the Bible. It may be just differences in opinion.
I have heard good things about this film so my dislikes could just be a matter of my own likes and dislikes.

Jen, I'd also agree that some areas were kinda wierd in how it was presented (some were kinda creepy). I saw it in the theater, but would like to have a dvd so that I could watch it a few more times and check for any "off" theology. I do remember a few spots where I thought, "I'll have to check that out with Steve" but Over all, I'd say that I really like the message of the film and that someone going through difficult times could benefit from watching it. It could also be a great "springboard" to conversation with those who need to know the Lord.
