I have seen this film twice, and it was better the second time. Maybe because I had never heard a Rich Mullins song before the first viewing, and before the second quite a few of his songs have deeply touched me. I see my life reflected in his--not exactly, of course. Where he went to the Indian reservation I went to India, and where he wrote music I wrote poetry--but the alcohol was still the same. What I am saying is that this film shows the real side of Christianity, and should be seen by anyone confused by how many so-called Christians act and present themselves to the world. But if you really want to get into the study of Organized religion versus Real Christian Living, listen to Rich Mullins--maybe especially his song 'The Color Green'--and spend some time with his mentor Brennan Manning. Oh, and watch this film more than once. It's the antithesis of every other so-called Christian film you've ever seen--and if you've never seen one, all that much better. See this one, though.
