Dove Review

“Jesus: The Desire of Ages” accurately presents various parts of Jesus’ life. Events include the announcement of his birth to the shepherds, his being placed by Mary in a manger, the healing of the leper, his speaking to the woman at the well, and with Nicodemus, as well as other moments from the Gospels and his passion and resurrection.

A sincere effort is put into the production, though it tends to be over dramatic in some parts. The editing is strong and the storyline flows nicely. The film obviously attempts to glorify God and Christ. We are pleased to award our Dove “Faith-Friendly” Seal for ages 12+ to “Jesus: The Desire of Ages.” Watch the life of Christ come to life!
