5.0 out of 5 stars Everyone should see this movie., December 16, 2002

By 

Peggy (Longview, Texas USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Saved By the Light [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I lost my older sister Nov. 18, 2002. She was more than a sister, she raised me when my Mom was taking care of my Dad before his death with MS. She was 12 years older than me and carried me to school with her, I was 3, and I sat on her desk. She made me shoes out of ribbons that people threw away at a cemetery near our house. I had went on a week-end trip that came up spur of the moment. While we were there watching tv, Saved By the Light came on and we started watching it. Not knowing that it was preparing me for what would face me the very next day with my sister. The only way I got through as well as I did was because of the strength I drew from this movie. I was holding my sister's hand when she went to be with my Mom, Dad and 2 other sisters, one who was born before me and when this sister was only a year old so we never knew her. I told her to go to my Mom and our sisters , that it was ok to go. I helped her to go in peace I truly feel like. And I wouldn't have known how if I had not watched this wonderful movie. I'll forever be thankful to Dannion and also Eric Roberts for being so real. I miss my sister but I know she's with our parents and 2 other sisters and that she's happy. Thanks so much for the lesson from this story.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the true transformation of one man!, April 11, 2001

This review is from: Saved by the Light - The Life and Times of Dannion Brinkley: A Documentary film about a man who died twice and the profound revelations he received [VHS] (VHS Tape)

To put it bluntly, before his Near Death Experience, Dannion Brinkley was a miserable excuse for a human being.

He was struck by lightening and pronounced dead for 28 minutes. He had a near death experience that turned his life upside down and inside out.

I have heard Dannion speak several times, and I can say that he not only talks the talk, he actually walks the walk.

A lot of people become very angry because Dannion's Near Death Experiences do not fit into their idea of Theology.

I am sure that my idea of the Great Mystery (God if you prefer)would also make people very angry.

There is ONLY one Creator; no matter what name various cultures or faiths use.

The Great Mystery is the infinite being. We human beings are finite, and it is impossible for us finite beings to comprehend the infinite.

The Great Mystery reveals itself to us in ways that we can understand based upon our level of awareness.

If a specific faith works for you that is different from mine. Great! I am happy for you. Just allow me to acknowledge the Great Mystery as I see fit.

5.0 out of 5 stars Saved By The Light, August 10, 2000

By 

Nancy (West Chester, PA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Saved By the Light [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I just saw this movie today for the first time and found it to be a very fascinating and powerful movie. Eric Roberts was outstanding. The subject matter of this movie is very close to me, and the way it was portrayed here was riveting. We are here to love and help one another, and it's frightening to come to the end and see that you haven't done that, and see the hurts you have caused. You could feel his struggles throughout, and could feel his transformation as time went on. I had no idea this was based on a true story. I highly recommend this movie. I can't wait to see it again.
