Must See Alert!!!!!!
It has been a great 18 months for the Christian film industry with one great uplifting film after another. Do You Believe, followed by Woodlawn, and this afternoon Sherelene and I went to see one of the greatest Christian films ever, Risen. This film tells the story of crucifixion and resurrection through the eyes of a Roman soldier that was there on the day of His crucifixion and then followed the greatest story ever told, as it actually unfolds. The film was magnificent in every way, and if Joseph Fiennes is not nominated for Best Actor, I’m finished with the Oscars, I pretty much am already!
I cannot urge you strongly enough to go see this film, it is truly a breath of fresh air in the telling of the story we all know so well.
Have a blessed weekend, AND GO SEE RISEN!!!!

Bill, thanks for the good review. I’m very much looking forward to seeing this!
My pleasure, I wish every believer or near believer would go to see it, it is extremely powerful!
Agreed, Bill! Suzie and I saw it on opening night and loved it as well. Tells the story from a different perspective than we are used to seeing. Very well done.
I saw an older film the other day about the life of Chris Mullin, called Ragamufin. The theme was when we get to paradise, Jesuswillone and only one question for us, “Did you believe how much I love you?” Risen carries thattheme into my future, that vital part of our relationship,do we trust Him!
Sorry garbled, Jesus will ask one and only one question…….
Adding my thanks for your brief review…..can’t wait to get a chance to get out to the theater and see it! We know a couple that teeters on the edge of belief…..might just have to invite them as well!
I’ve seen the commercials for the film and was intrigued, so I’m glad your review confirms my assumption that it’s worth seeing. And you’re right: the Academy Awards show is a complete sewer – I watched it last night, but that’s it. No more!
Interesting that the recent Cohen Brothers film Hail Caesar is about a movie producer making a film about seeing the story of Christ though a Roman soldier’s eyes. I wonder if that was a complete coincidence? It’s not a Christian movie by any means though. 🙂
I saw Risen yesterday and it is one of the best movies I’ve ever seen. It is more than a movie – it is an experience of the Way, the Truth and the Life – Jesus! I can’t even put into words how powerful this movie was for me and I’m going to see it again! If you haven’t seen it, I encourage you to go for it especially if you can see it on the big screen – very powerful.
