Here is my review of A Hidden Life – Saturday Review 17 – A Hidden Life – The Book of Job on Film
Thanks! Do we need to be more selective as evangelicals about what causes we back? The pro-life cause sometimes feels eclipsed by SSA and gay marriage alarm bells. I jest not, it’s a serious question: would some urban evangelical churches get more upset about a gay bar being set up by their premises than an abortion clinic? Are there shades of “strain out a gnat but swallow a camel”? Abortion draws us the the Apostle’s Creed and human identity. We might see spiritual vigour and renewal if more churches made a bold stand on this topic.
That may be true of some…but not for me…..abortion sickens me to the pit of my stomach…
Thank you David for telling us about the film ‘A Hidden Life’. I had not heard about it before. I have managed to send for the DVD from America (making sure it’s the correct region for this country!).
In the trailer of the film, I like the words, ‘If God gives us free will, we are responsible for what we do, for what we fail to do’. How very true that is. I see it in my own life. Time and again, I have often failed to do what I ought to do, in the past and still in the here and now. But with God’s help, through prayer, we can be made new, not just better.
I am so looking forward to watching the film which looks wonderful and very moving. Thanks again.
