My Thoughts
I very much enjoyed this movie! I was not familiar with the story prior to receiving this DVD. It is rated PG-13 mostly because of protrayed drug use and violence. I would not show this to my children under 13 for these reasons. It is a great story that demonstrates how God can use anyone, and how he people are sometimes placed into our lives, without our full undestanding, but for a purpose. The book The Purpose Driven Life is what helped to make this a story. This is a very inspirational and uplfiting story. I enjoyed every minute of it.
