Not usually a big fan of "Christian" movies though the small summary on the back of the DVD at our local movie store convinced me this movie might be worth a peek... and it certainly was worthwhile! I would recommend the movie "Second Chance" to leaders of any of the following Christian groups:
*Church leaders in North America - it has a serious message to "wealthy" Christians, that is all Christians in Canada & the USA
*Church boards - you can become so busy "building" your church with well-intentioned vision and plans, that you forget where you began and why God "blessed" you (plural)
*Mission leaders for two reasons:
a) in the day-to-day efforts of cross-cultural workers to proclaim the Gospel and deal with immediate needs, we ask for people to give their money rather than really "experience" the immensity of the task
b) it reminds us that if structural change and Holy-Spirit working transformation does not occur, we are just going to be throwing money at an issue/concern for generations, with minimal, if any real progress.
Although the acting, cinematography, and story line of the movie are not particularly outstanding or unique, it brings home a few key points about life, ministry and leadership that are important for 21st century leaders of the Church to come to grips with and talk about.
