pollitopluma Poor acting and a bad script help make this a movie you wont mind missing. If you are one of the many American Christians than you can probably watch this without feeling like you wasted your day. Everyone else should probably look elsewhere for their film of the evening. Considering that this movie has a very clear and specific demographic that has low standards, I feel the movie fails to even succeed at this one goal. Sorry if any Christians are insulted by this but this brainwashing film wasnt even good as satire in other groups.

Colleen196 Trust in the Lord with ALL your heart and lean not on your OWN understanding! God's way is not always our way, but it is THE WAY!! Keep you eyes on Him and He will lead.

lavatch "A Question of Faith" is about tragic intersections involving three families. At one of the lowest points of the film, it appears as though one of the characters may spend most of her adult life in the big house for vehicular manslaughter. But due to the power of faith, all three families end up in the house of the Lord.The film opens with a passage from Psalms: "When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears, and rescues them from all their troubles." Except in the film, it is first and foremost the strong women who rescue their angry and wayward menfolk from becoming backsliders. Indeed, the most moving moments of the film are the scenes where the wives of the pastor and the contractor redirect the men towards the straight and narrow path of God's plan. While much of the film was maudlin and far-fetched, it was nonetheless a cleverly constructed plot involving the three families. At one of the key junctures during the reawakening of the men, one character says, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding." The film was literally about "heart" in the transfer of one organ to another human being. But the more moving message was about the heartfelt experience of unconditional forgiveness in the face of tragedy.

jacobs-greenwood This faith-based gem begins with a Bible verse from Psalm 34:17 "The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles" and also contains several other references and quotes from Holy Scripture including John 11:25-26, Proverbs 3:4-6, and Mark 11:25. However, two others that are beautifully demonstrated in the lives of its female characters are from Proverbs 31: verse 10 "A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies" and verse 26 "She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue". Without them, and the sage words of the lead character's father, there's no telling where the protagonist - Pastor David Newman, played by Richard T. Jones - would have ended up by story's end.The narrative is a bit confusing at first - about a dozen characters are introduced in short order and it's unclear how their stories are interrelated - but stay with it. Without giving away the plot, there are many Biblical themes (perhaps too many?) included in this 104-minute film. Per its title, faith is a big one, but there's also trust, forgiveness, mercy, redemption, and what a Christian marriage should look like; each of these could warrant their own movie. While God is obviously front-and-center throughout, it's great to have Jesus included in the dialogue since many in this genre leave out the Name Above All Names.The real strength of A Question of Faith (2017) is its lead actors and their realistic characterizations: the aforementioned Jones in the leading role Pastor Newman and Kim Fields as his loving, supportive and strong wife Theresa; C. Thomas Howell as angry contractor John Danielson and Renée O'Connor as his faithful wife Mary; the previously mentioned Gregory Alan Williams as Newman's father, who's also retiring his Senior Pastor position to make room for his son, and especially Donna Biscoe as Patricia, his equally wise wife and instructive mother. There's also Cecil King as associate pastor T.C. Stallings, Jaci Velasquez as restaurant owner Kate Hernandez, mother of teen-aged Maria (played by Karen Valero), and soprano Amber Nelon Thompson as the Danielson's daughter Michelle, whose powerful yet angelic voice just might bring a tear to your eye.The life lessons are invaluable, including some secular ones like "don't text while driving" and "be an organ donor", and the story is good enough that its intended audience will give the filmmakers grace for the contrivances, particularly its expedient ending.
