Such a good movie! We have purchased several as gifts. The acting is not all of stellar quality, but the storyline is amazing. The song is amazing. The doctrine is good and sound. One of the most edifying movies we have ever watched! It has given us such an appreciation for the song - The Love Of God. If you are looking for good, wholesome entertainment that has sound and edifying message - you wont be disappointed!

Recently bought for my sister. she cant hear and has to have closed caption! Info says its there, but box does not. Im giving it to her early September! If she cant use it Ill be very leary to trust buying dvds from you on line! cant reccommend because havent watched it yet!

This movie is a fabulous movie, heartwarming and all around good clean movie. The acting isn't the best, but the story line is worth it!!

Which is a shame, because the story is true and a good story.

I was surprised people said the acting was not very good, and that it started out slow. To me, the film was setting the stage for the time period. This film reminded me a lot of going to the country to visit my grandparents when I was a kid.

The movie is somewhat similar to the Little House on the Prairie series but a different place and setting.

The movie is historical in feel. It teaches not only the love of God, but it gives a feel for the struggle of whether to be involved in a war effort. It teaches how a family should pull together to solve problems. It shows struggles through children's eyes.

One thing not mentioned by anyone in the reviews is the movie includes a separate section about the making of the movie that can be used as additional lessons, and is set up that way. It talks about all of the people it takes to make the movie and how each of those groups of people are related to the love of God.

It talks about how they changed things to make them fit the times, the fact the movie was actually set in Texas with the Texas humidity and how they worked through that. It gives a couple of scenes that were left out of the movie and why they had to do that. They talked to the children in the movie. It was their first time to be in one.

I loved the movie, and I passed it on to someone who had older children. One of them saw me later and said how much she enjoyed the movie.
