This review is from: Unlikely Mormon: The Conversion Story of Glenn Beck (DVD)

Glenn Beck tells his story of going from a raging alcoholic to a church going Mormon, and of God's reality and mercy. When I first saw this DVD, I thought, great, just another being led to Jesus story--a whiny self promoting pulpit pounding affair.

I was wrong. Yes, Beck feels strongly about his faith, and, at first, I thought he perhaps was being too hard on Mormons as a people; however, he came through on all fronts. It's an often turbulent story of rejecting alcohol and finding self respect. My own grandfather had a similar experience, but it was at the end of his life, after he'd lost his wife and family to booze. After the beatings of my father, which he would do in a rage. He, too, finally found the help he needed and died clean and sober, at peace with God.

Beck's description of his denial, his finding reasons to drink, his constant inability to turn his back on alcohol and coke, his swearing, his profane and brutal treatment of people. "I once fired a person," he says, choking with emotion, "...for bringing me the wrong pen. I...don't even know his name." Finally, the black outs--periods of time in which his body functioned and his brain was asleep--became such of an issue with him family and his work, that he decided enough was enough. With his wife, Tanya, they decided to go on a church shopping tour, and this recounts that experience.

Whether you're a Mormon or a member of another faith, this account is well worth a place in your library. And if you know anyone in the clutches of alcoholism, this DVD could make a profound difference in their lives.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unbelievably powerful, a very moving account!, November 4, 2008

Unbelievably powerful. I hate to admit that I was in tears more than once as I listened to this very honest, straight from the heart account of the changing of a man's life. It does not matter what religion you believe in. This is more a story about the changing of a man, his growth, his terrors, and his redemption than it is about his joining the Mormon faith. I recommend it to ALL.

This review is from: Unlikely Mormon: The Conversion Story of Glenn Beck (DVD)

Glen is a genuine person who doesn't shy away from his past (unlike many people running from their choices). He candidly tells things as they are. "An Unlikely Mormon" is the inspiring story of his Conversion to Christ and the miracle God works in our lives. Glen asks honest questions and has the guts to live up to the answers.
