I am sorry I haven't gotten the P3 of our vacation but this post just has to come out now before I get carried away with other matter of our busy life. So, here I go:

We just signed up for Netflix and I asked my sweet friend of SweetSavages to share her list of movies their family watched.  She is always so helpful and we are all grateful for her timely reply. Thank you, Misti.  After watching A few movies on line straight from Netflix (not that many choices for now-one was THe Cross and the Switchblade and the other one was William Tyndale) we couldn't wait to get Time Changer.   It was on the top of the recommended list.The family is almost done watching special features (please do so because the testimony of the producer and just how the movie was made is so interesting) and I had to hop and google a quick review before I get wired up writing all that's on my heart.  It doesn't do it all that it deserves but it's short in its plot.

We all loved Facing the Giants and William Wilberforce's story in Amazing Grace, which my friend Angel dedicated a great post about it here.  We rank Time Changer in the line of these awesome stories. It spoke to all of our hearts.  Here is a short review I found on line (If I would start writing one now my hubby wouldn't be too happy cuz he wants me to go to bed at a reasonable time) to whet your appetite.  You would want all your children to watch it with YOU!  May it minister to you as it did to us.  Please, share the message with everybody you know! I edited the review a bit . You can read it in full here and read other reviews on the movie as well. Highly recommended!

Time Changer
A Movie Review
by Kyle Pope

The movie Time Changer,by Rich Christiano, by all appearances looks like your ordinary “B” science fiction movie you might find at any video store. To my shock and appreciation this move is anything but ordinary.
     Set in the 1890’s, the main character, Dr. Thomas Carlisle is a professor at Grace Bible Seminary. After writing a book which advocates that teaching Jesus’ moral principles alone in order to bring about social reform, Carlisle seeks the endorsement of the Seminary faculty. Just as approval seems to be unanimous, an older professor, played by Gavin MacLeod (Captain Stubbing of the old TV showThe Love Boat) challenges the book’s premise that even without teaching people about Jesus the world would be better if Jesus’ morals were taught. In a discussion that one might expect to hear in a Bible class rather than in a SciFi video, a debate proceeds regarding the absolute authority of Jesus, the worthlessness of good morals without Jesus and the effects that morals without Jesus could have upon the world. Although the faculty, led by the dean, Hal Linden (Barney Miller, from the TV series Barney Miller) favors endorsement, the decision is delayed the two can reconcile their views.
     What has led the the older professor to his objection is an invention he has perfected which had allowed him to travel 100 years into the future. In doing so he witnesses our own generation living without respect for the authority of Jesus. When Carlisle himself is taken into the future, he witnesses apathetic believers, unbelief in Jesus and rampant immorality. After four days in the future he realizes the error of his book’ premise. Carlisle returns to his own time and in an almost “Ebenezer Scrooge-like” epiphany changes his book, his teachings and his beliefs. 
     It was quite refreshing to see the movie portray Carlisle’s disgust with blasphemous speech, immodest apparel and children showing disrespect to their elders. This was the first movie I have ever seen that unashamedly referred to the teaching of Malachi 2:16 that the Lord “hates divorce!”
     The movie was also interesting because historically the 1800’s saw the beginnings of the the “Social Gospel” movement, in which the denominational world sought to “save” man through moral and social improvement. Jesus was set aside and man’s social needs were emphasized over his spiritual needs. Time Changer portrays the denominational world’s reevaluation of its own faulty notions. While the movie doesn’t go far enough in that baptism, church organization and scriptural worship are ignored, it is a refreshing change from what is generally available. Jesus Christ does have all authority. To teach Jesus’ teachings without teaching Jesus is no more valuable to someone’s soul than if we taught them nothing at all. Time Changer. Producer Rich Christiano. Five & Two Pictures, 2001.
