What would be overwhelming live is made a step or two distant by the recording process. You simply don’t get the same impact. Go to Full Review

Kent 03/10/2023 Greatest telling of the good news, from creation to resurrection! Great music and choreography of the dance and acrobatics. Everyone should watch this performance. See more Nancy 03/09/2023 The dance, costumes, and by having the story told by John to a child. The movement from one scene to the next kept you enthralled with the retelling of the story we know do well. See more Joy H. 03/08/2023 I loved apostle John with the boy and sheparding him thru his younger years with Gods love, until in the end he gave his life to Jesus. The whole movie was great!! Good job Focus on the Family. See more Jesse 03/08/2023 This was a great show and should be seen by many. See more traci 03/08/2023 Loved it!! For those who may not know the stories of the Bible, may want to narrate a bit on the scenes of Jesus cleansing the woman, making the Blind to See. This is a film that can bring someone to accepting Jesus and need more of an understanding of all the Good He has done and continues to do. See more Mary D Skrovig 03/08/2023 Beautiful production! So well done. Such a unique way of telling the story. There were a few times though that the narrator couldnt be heard very well. Excellent production! See more Read all reviews
