God Grew Tired of US – DVD review

198999: God Grew Tired of Us, DVD God Grew Tired of Us, DVD
By Affirm Films

An award-winning, critically acclaimed documentary, narrated by Nicole Kidman, God Grew Tired of Us explores the indomitable spirit of three “Lost Boys” from the Sudan who are forced to leave their homeland due to a tumultuous civil war.  The documentary chronicles their triumph over seemingly insurmountable adversities and relocation to America, where the Lost Boys build active and fulfilling new lives but remain deeply committed to helping friends and family they have left behind.  Rated PG.

“God Grew Tired of Us is a great documentary, and a very well made film.  I found myself moved to compassion for the plight of the “Lost Boys”, found a new appreciation for the simplest of luxuries that we take for granted, and felt ashamed of the emptiness of personal relationships that is such a growing part of modern America.  God Grew Tired of Us is equally entertaining and enlightening, and is highly recommended.”   Read more…

Letters to God – DVD Review

988475: Letters to God, DVD Letters to God, DVD

By Possibility Pictures

Battling brain cancer, 8-year-old Tyler Doherty turns to God as his own private pen pal.  It’s his way of praying—but beleaguered neighborhood postman Brady McDaniels has no idea what to do with envelopes addressed to heaven! As he gets to know Tyler and his family, Brady makes a decision that transforms his life—and uplifts his new friends. Rated PG. Closed captions. Approx. 110 minutes.

“The story of this film is amazing and touching.  Well-acted and produced, the film moves in pace and stirs the emotions in a stronger way than many Christian films, which are often characterized by below par production or acting.  And the true star of the film is God himself, who shows how he can move entire groups of people just by acting in the life a single eight-year old boy.”  Read more…
