Dove Review

This movie shows the power of the “Good Book”, the Bible. As it is passed from one person to another we see the remarkable hope that it offers various people during some of life’s most difficult moments. A young boy, Daniel, accidentally sets his home on fire and runs away due to the shame he feels as his parents and sibling search for him. He is angry at first and wants nothing to do with the Good Book but he changes and he soon experiences a very happy moment.

The other stories in the movie include a young couple who have a son and love their infant baby very much. The child tragically dies and the parents deal with the hurt and pain that stems from their horrendous loss. Yet they manage to find happiness in a way they would not have thought of and God’s mercy is clearly revealed. Also included in the film is a homeless lady who finds her way to church and a woman who has her purse stolen and yet later returned to her house. This DVD clearly shows the power and miraculous events that follow those who look to God’s word. It illustrates the true world of hurting people, including a woman that is shattered when her husband cheats on her. But hope is always offered and it is always offered via “The Good Book”. We are pleased to award this DVD our Dove Seal for ages twelve plus. Watching “The Good Book” would do you anyone some good! See it soon.
