“Why Grace?” is a powerfully creative and unique film. It will give the viewer a fresh and contemporary look into the grace of God and what Christ did for mankind at Calvary. Dr. Hall (Ben Hopkin) brings the Bible to life for his class. He not only teaches about the Parable of the Sower, while handing out samples of wheat to each student as he does, but he mentions the kind of soil that seeds are dropped into and its importance. He makes the point that what the seed does depends on the soil, whether it’s good ground or not.
We see the students grappling with various life problems, such as a girl visiting her mother’s grave with flowers, another student struggling with porn (he is only shown looking at his computer), and another who is in a wheelchair. But one day, Dr. Hall gives a powerful devotion when he brings pastries for the class, but the only way they can receive them is if Josh (Zac Nash) earns the gift for them. They cannot help him or receive the gift any other way. What Josh does is amazing. It brings some of the students to tears. The viewer will not forget this compelling and gripping drama.
“Why Grace?” is awarded our “Faith-Friendly” Seal for all ages. We wish to note it is not intended for very young viewers. The grace of God, His gift of salvation, is strongly presented in a way that the viewer will not soon forget. This is a great Christian education tool, too!
