I watched the entire series. The theme of God's intervention in every life doing miracles if you obey him was evident. But my husband and I were very disappointed. So many gaps and misinterpretations of scripture. The last installment cover the book Acts and Revelation in 15 minutes. We noted several kinds of baptism-submersion,pouring, face forward etc- we guess so no one was offended. We both felt like it was an advertisement for buying the DVD, study helps and book by Roma and Mark. I sincerely hope the study guide fleshes out the stories and there are those who have a hunger to know more. So often people rely on the movie adaptation when we all know the book is always better.
I haven't seen it yet, but hope to eventually watch it. I've heard both pros & cons. I think things like that are hard to please everyone coming from so many different denominations and backgrounds. Thanks for sharing your take on it!
