    Worth Watching

    Though it does have a couple of goofs it has very good acting from main characters. Nick Lashaway has a very natural ability to become the character and not come across as an actor. Too bad he passed away soon after. Prayer is a beautiful thing for the believer but lost on the unbeliever. The natural man does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God. For they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned. 1 Corinthians 2:14

    Prayer Never Fails

    Enjoyed this movie -I need it! Although the movie was fictional I recall that through my life I've seen prayers answered and I'm still here today!

    The film appears tt have been low-budget, but the story flowed.

    The Characters came together and the message was told.

    Those mean secularists at it again

    Eric Lashaway who sadly was killed shortly after this film's release stars as a Christian basketball coach. When one of his players comes to him with a problem the two go off and pray together on the subject.

    Had he taken him off school grounds and done that no one would have had much grounds to complain. A troubled youth came to an adult he trusted. But Lashaway stepped on some toes and the administration was handed a sword.

    The school retains high priced attorney Corbin Bernsen and Lashaway gets Clifton Davis as his lawyer.

    One particular thing that offended me with this film was Davis drawing a comparison with a transgender faculty member who transitioned and openly discusses the transition with students. But firing this Christian coach shows the school administration is following the liberal agenda.

    As it happens my niece was part of a protest to stand by a transgender teacher at her school when said school fired the person. I can tell you transgender folks face a lot more discrimination than Christian faculty members. do.

    One performance that was moving was that of Cathy Lee Crosby as Lashaway's mother. Her fans should see this.

    But they'll have to go to fundamentalist church basements to do it.

    Not bad at all

    I was pleasantly surprised at what a good story this turned out to be. Very interesting from beginning to end.

    Starts out slow

    GREAT lineup of actors/actresses.

    It does start out slow, but the action picks up.

    GREAT message!

      The lawyer asks Aiden about his past and his being arrested for murder in 1991. Nick Lashaway was born in 1988, so he would have been ages 2-3 1991.
