Hi Melissa,

I did see the movie. I wrote an article about my experience. You can read it here:

Like I say in it, I felt like jumping up and down and singing after it ended. I can't really explain except to say that if someone walked away from that movie and didn't seek after the Lord then I think they need to see it again. I think it was historically accurate. I have been critisized for allowing my 13 yearold son see it. But I think it's important for young people to get the message that Jesus DIED and was TORTURED for them also. Us adults seem to have a greater handle on this than teens do. They are still in their "indestructable" mode. Sionce my family saw it together, my son has seen the movie again taking one of his friends to see it. That was intense for me. Just hearing how he was answering the questions his friend had made me want ot fall on my face and thank God for this kid he gave me. Imagine a 13 yearold kid leading his friend to Christ...How many people have we led there? It blows my mind....
