Light of the World

LIGHT OF THE WORLD is a beautiful. 2D-animated story of Jesus as told through the eyes of his young friend, the Apostle John. From the beginning of Jesus’ ministry through his crucifixion and resurrection, this film powerfully illustrates how Jesus of Nazareth changed the world forever and still changes lives today!

It’s AD 30 and everyone is expectantly awaiting the coming Messiah. While Jesus isn’t exactly what they imagined, there is something special about this man. Soon, John, James, Andrew, Peter, and their new friends begin to follow Jesus on an unexpected adventure.

The movie opens on September 5th, and it is one that your family is sure to enjoy. Part of the success comes with how well it does in theaters on opening weekend. If you have a group or 10 or more, you can get a discount on the tickets! BUY TICKETS NOW!

My Review: This first-time film by the Salvation Poem Project about the life of Jesus Christ will truly be a wonderful Family Movie Event for your entire family. Going back to 1990's style of 2D-animation will bring a sense of nostalgia for parents, and capture the attention of children. Directed by John Schafer, who produced Superbook, and long-time Disney animator Tom Bancroft, the visuals are excellent. 

With The Greatest Story Ever Told as the subject, this is perfect for those who are teaching their kids about Christianity and our faith in Jesus as our Savior. The disciples are younger in this movie, and the youngest disciple John is portrayed as an older child or young teenager. I love that this is more likely to appeal to the kids in the family (and follows the beliefs of many that the disciples were in their teens and twenties). It's a very good conversation opener to explain more about Jesus. This would also make an excellent outing for a Children's Ministry. I enjoyed the film and hope to see more in the future from those involved.

Apostle Peter & The Last Supper

Apostle Peter And The Last Supper is a family friendly biblical story of  that tells the story of Jesus through the eyes of His disciple, Peter. The film begins in Rome. AD 67 at the Mamertine Prison when the Romans take custody of a famous criminal. He is Simon Peter of Galilee---apostle, disciple, and the personal friend of Jesus (Bruce Marchiano), also called The Christ. Knowing that he will soon be put to death, the elderly Peter (Robert Loggia) spends his remaining time telling the story of his life from his first encounter with Jesus when he was a simple fisherman to becoming known as one of the boldest figures in all of Christianity. His focus is on the night Jesus is arrested, the reaction of all of the disciples, and the resurrection of our Lord. His words make an unforgettable impression on his jailers (Laurence Fuller, David Kallaway) as they slowly turn from disbelief to faith.

This is actually a fairly good film. I rarely find one that simply follows the Bible and tells the story as it is written, and this one is another that takes a few liberties with the story...but not enough to have me screaming at the television. (There's a reason I prefer to watch films alone. LOL! I'm not always a passive viewer.) What I liked was the scenes, especially during the passover meal, as several of the disciples are questioning---in their own minds---if he will be the one to betray Jesus through a character flaw. So, while there are things that irk me a bit (the extremely clean foot that gets washed, for example), it also made the real story come more alive as I watched the interaction between these men and Jesus. Of course, Bruce Marchiano's portrayal of Jesus is outstanding, as always.
