This movie is quite short but still stay on your mind long after the credits roll. It is about the life of Josh McDowell. To be honest, I didn't really know much about McDowell before this movie. Apparently, he is an influential preacher and speaker. Anyway, the movie is a short memoir of his early life. At first, I thought the part where McDowell walks around and narrates in between the acted out scenes was annoying. However, over time, I found his curt comments sincerely touching. I don't want to spoil the movie with all the details, but I will say you will be shocked and enraged at what McDowell had to go through as a child. There were times in the movie where I cried and other times when I was boiling with anger. Through McDowell's troubled childhood and into his young adulthood, you will experience the journey of a broken atheist that culminates in a genuine Christian. What is breathtaking is the people McDowell had to forgive when he met Christ. What's great is that this DVD also comes with a little companion booklet to keep or give away to a friend. This movie is definitely for the weak of heart.
