My husband and I just finished watching “Unstoppable”, an independent film\u00a0 narrated by actor Kirk Cameron. Struggling himself with the age-old question of “why do bad things happen to good people”, Kirk attempts to offer hope to those who suffer. Beginning with the creation story and ending with the resurrection Kirk illustrates the consequences of man’s rebellion and sin through history.<\/p>\n
Kirk’s passion for Christ and his drive to share God’s truth with others and to encourage them in their Christian walk is evident throughout the entire film. Personal stories are interspersed with Biblical examples in this relatively short documentary. Kirk’s emotions were apparent as he described the death of a young friend that inspired the making of this film. I felt that Kirk was both eloquent and concise with his message.<\/p>\n
Kirk may or may not have answered the question to everyone’s satisfaction but we felt that his conjectures were valid and encouraging as well as thought provoking. Watching this DVD with a group could be an excellent springboard for discussion.<\/p>\n
