A Matter of Faith – Pastoral Review
Dear Pastor, Perhaps you are considering screening A Matter of Faith at your church or encouraging your people to use the big screen release as an opportunity to evangelize your community. The producers of the film make convincing arguments why you should. After all, people do remember movies long after they’ve forgotten your sermons. And...
A Matter of Faith – Film Review
Recently three Gospel Spam writers (Marcus Pittman, Jon Speed and Sye Ten Bruggencate) were invited to a screening of a new Christian movie titled “A Matter of Faith.” After viewing the film, and listening to the director speak on it we decided it would be necessary to write three separate views on the film.
