Review: Love Works

If you are reading this review on the Sabbath, then I would like to wish you a Sabbath with your mind set on things which are above, not on things on the earth.

This week’s review is for the documentary, Love Works

Description

Chris Conlee was born into a family with two flawed and broken parents who only became more dysfunctional after the death of Chris’s 18-year-old brother, Bubba. Faced with his father’s explosive temper and impossible expectations that no one could ever meet, Chris would eventually walk away from a promising professional golf career to follow a calling to the ministry.

See how Jesus used Chris’s difficult childhood to prepare and equip him for a life devoted to helping others overcome their traumatic pasts. Witness how God miraculously brought healing to the wounded relationship between Chris and his father - and how that healing is available to all.

This documentary, shows the beauty of God and how He has the power to take brokenness and use it for His good, through His love, healing and hope.

I was struck by Chris’ memory of him coming to a point where he needed more than what this life has to give - which is very little, unless we use it to serve and point others to Jesus Christ.

Chris mentioned a verse that his brother had a star next to in his Bible, I have a star next to the same verse in mine, Colossians 3:2 - Set your affection on things above, not on the things on the earth. The English Standard Versions says, Set your mind on things above.

The beautiful message in this documentary speaks for itself.

There is information in the notes about the sequel to this documentary. I look forward to seeing the sequel and writing a review for it.
