Saving God is a RARE movie in that it not only has a good story with a great message but the acting is great! I'm one of those Christians who watches Christian movies with the feeling that I'm being dragged across nails to stand the low budget and poor acting. Even some of the best ones were difficult in the acting department.

Saving God is a BIG step up from the others. The story is not a typical little feel good story like many. It is a story of struggles and not only struggles with non believers but struggles with believers as well. It doesn't paint a false picture of perfection of those who are saved. It simply shows the truth which is that we are born sinners who still have struggles and only thrive in the fact that we are made clean by the blood of Christ.

Not only is the story good but the acting is superb. I couldn't believe I was watching a Christian movie. Rhames was outstanding to say the least. No, the other actors aren't up to his level but unlike other Christian films, they are not only tolerable but enjoyable.

In the end there are many messages in Saving God. I've already used a scene or two for my teaching. I think there are 10 or so scenes that one could use to show great examples of different views into what is going on in the world today (real life!) and how we should deal with them.

Compared to all movies this would still get a 4 out of 5 stars but as a cheap Christian film it easily gets 5 stars. I just wonder why there wasn't more advertising on this one. They really missed their chance to let people know how much they are missing if they don't watch this movie.

This movie had some good points and good acting. They did show how God can turn anyone's life around. No one is beyond God's Grace. Yet, where the movie fell flat was the "Christian couple" that was friends with Norris and his girlfriend. They preached it, yet they didn't quite live it. They weren't married and they were having sex...yet the movie made it seem like it was all right because they were "faithful" to each other. Come on...that's not Biblical. It could have been a very good movie...but this one point really blew it for me.

I was pleasantly surprised by this moving, realistic movie that has a message that is timely and relevant. I agree with the reviewer who mentioned that it doesn't matter if a movie has "secular" actors. The term secular has become such a dirty word among so-called Christians. I am a born again, Bible-Believing Christian myself, but it really saddens me to hear my fellow Brothers & Sisters in the Lord be so narrow and bigoted.

This film is so touching and well made and extremely well acted. Ving Rhames was also executive producer, so this may be a clue to where is heart really is these days.

Whether you are a believer or not, please give this wonderful film a try!

its an awesome movie that the average person needs to see and know that God loves them it will change your life

Pay no mind to the other review that is negative.Preaching God's word has a price and their are trials you go through.Real Preachers are made up of broken down losers that the world spits at.

This movie was very inspirational and promoted hope. Ving Rhames was excellent in this movie. I would recommend it to anyone who needs to be encouraged and inspired spiritually.

Saving God is an EXCELLENT Christian movie! Please pay attention to the majority of positive reviews and not the narrow-minded reviewer who gave this movie 1 star. Ving Rhames takes a different direction from his typical secular roles and plays an pastor who is also an ex-con working to reach people for Christ in his drug and crime-ridden neighborhood. Your family will enjoy this movie! Our church is showing this movie to our teen audience next week. You will not be disappointed!!

Read my response to the 1-star reviewer:

Wow - I don't think I'd call this review 'old-fashioned', however NAIVE may be a better word? In today's world, "Saving God" is more relevant and realistic than ever. In this reviewers world, if a "Christian" turns up pregant and unmarried, we all of a sudden have a right to judge her character. As Christians we go through phases in our walk with the Lord and just because we are saved, does not mean that we will never sin again. Thank God that Christians are NOT as perfect as this reviewer. Otherwise, we'd never learn anything. The only thing that stinks is this review. Obviously, this person did not hear Ving Rhames' interview at the end where he had a part in changing the title of the movie from "Selling God" to "Saving God". The movie, was AWESOME! Too bad, this reviewer missed the entire message.

Good product for the price. Received the movie within a week. Even though it was a used movie it was in great condition.

This was a good movie with a great message. I enjoy movies about redemption. We have all made poor decisions, but there is always hope.

This isn't one of those super cheesy "D" class Christian themed movies...

It's a good movie with a well transitioned plot which shows the viewers how forgiveness and faith can win over vengeance and violence.
