Struggling himself with the age-old question of &#8220;why do bad things happen to good people&#8221;, 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&#8217;s rebellion and sin through history.<\/p>\n<p>Kirk&#8217;s passion for Christ and his drive to share God&#8217;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&#8217;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<p>Kirk may or may not have answered the question to everyone&#8217;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<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10857\" title=\"divider2\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2.png\" width=\"317\" height=\"61\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2.png 317w, https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2-150x28.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 317px) 100vw, 317px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em>This DVD was provided for review by<br \/>\n<\/em><\/strong><em><strong>Laura Beth Stubblefield<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/em><em><strong>FlyBy Promotions Blogger Network<\/strong><\/em><strong><em>.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<hr \/>\n<p><b>ABOUT\u00a0<i>UNSTOPPABLE<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-16315\" alt=\"unstoppable dvd\" src=\"http:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/unstoppable-dvd.png\" width=\"347\" height=\"467\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/unstoppable-dvd.png 347w, https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/unstoppable-dvd-111x150.png 111w, https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/unstoppable-dvd-150x201.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 347px) 100vw, 347px\" \/>Inspired by the death of Cameron\u2019s close friend who succumbed to cancer at the age of 15, Kirk Cameron takes viewers on an inspiring and hope-filled visual journey to better understand the biggest doubt-raising question in faith: \u201cWhere is God in the midst of tragedy and suffering?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Going back to the beginning\u2014literally\u2014Kirk investigates the origins of good and evil and how they impact our lives \u2026 and our eternities.\u00a0<b><i>UNSTOPPABLE<\/i>\u00a0<\/b>will prompt audiences to consider the role that pain and suffering has in our lives, as they affirm their personal views on faith, and encourage conversation starters about God, suffering, and hope.<\/p>\n<p>In theaters for only two weeknights (Sept 24th and Oct 3th, 2013),\u00a0<b><i>UNSTOPPABLE: A Live Event with Kirk Cameron\u00a0<\/i><\/b>sold a staggering 260,000 tickets and reached a theatrical gross of over $3.2 million dollars.
