As a Christian, this is one of the most profound,moving and motivational films I've ever seen. It takes awhile to realize that this isn't actually a hit piece out to make Christians look like idiots, but rather a message to remind us who Jesus was and what He did. A must for all believers.

The guy's got a point. The dialogue in America around religion, particularly that surrounding Evangelicals, has become extremely divisive. I liked that the filmmaker, an Evangelical Christian himself, could admit both his loyalty to the church, but also his disappointment and sorrow over her past sins. His light-hearted attitude toward the material keeps the film engaging, and in the final third of the film, Merchant does well to chart a compassionate course for Evangelicals in the future.
