Lord - Save us from your followers!


Kim and I recently got a 'sneak peak' of a new movie - "Lord, Save Us from Your Followers" -

We were both challenged by Dan Merchant, the film maker and think that this film is worth watching. It WILL be a conversation starter and it WILL challenge us to step out of our box of Christian judgement and remind us that Christ calls us to love - Everyone! The film is out now in selected areas and Dan also has a book version ... Please visit the film's web site to find out more ... www.LordSaveUsTheMovie.com


Here's a brief plug to whet your appetite for more:

Nine out of ten Americans claim a belief in God. However, public expressions of faith stir more controversy and increase the ever-growing cultural divide in our society every day. Has this country lost the art of conversation? Dan Merchant had to do something; desperate times call for desperate measures. A follower of Jesus himself, Merchant became fed up with the strident, divisive posturing that has come to represent the Christian faith and set out through his documentary film, Lord, Save Us From Your Followers, to discover why the “Gospel of Love” is dividing America. In the tradition of entertaining documentaries like Super Size Me, and Bowling for Columbine - Lord, Save Us From Your Followers employs the language of pop culture to create a provocative, funny, and redemptive film-going experience.
