End of the Spear
You may have seen previews or heard of this movie coming out in theatres this week. It is a really well made movie that tells a story of grace and God's love quite well.
If you remember from a number of years ago, 5 men who were missionaries to a tribe in South America were dealt a terrible fate. The movie the End of the Spear tells their tale. I hope that you will support the film and its meaning by chancing to see it. Enjoy, and please post a comment as to your thoughts about the movie!
End of the Spear is a great re-telling of a magnificent story of redemption and forgiveness. The gospel is presented in simple, tribal terms instead of American Christianese, so it might be more palatable to a non-Christian. If you have recently watched the documentary-style Beyond Gates of Splendor, you will notice some dramatic license. However, it does not detract from the story or its meaning.
Thank you for your post Julie! We are glad that you enjoyed the movie as well.
