“Objects of Wrath” is an evangelism film which does its job very well. It deals with a young man named Steve, who longs to be a pastor, but who has trouble overcoming his addiction to watching television. This addiction leads to the loss of his job and he battles to overcome it to become the man he knows he can be. As Steve begins to gain ground, his path leads him to others who fight addictions–a man who drinks and is in danger of losing his wife, a woman who has a gambling problem, a homeless man, and a man who becomes Steve’s landlord for a time and who doesn’t want anything to do with God. There is also the story of a young man who is trying to get out of a gang. The acting is surprisingly good for an independent film, particularly by Dan Arthur, who plays Steve.

This film was written and directed by Jeff Peterson who manages to tell a compelling story. The film is family friendly, with a caution for parents to note that there are several drinking scenes in a bar which, by the way, is temporarily converted to a church on Sunday mornings!
