 In this episode we will be looking at the film War Room, directed by Alex Kendrick and written by  Alex Kendrick and Stephen Kendrick.

NB!  There was some background noise that I could not get rid of during regular editing.  I typically do not re-record my reviews, as the point is to give a sincere review, not a polished, overly edited scripted production.  I used a different microphone for this episode. I plan to use another one for future reviews.  The review is clear enough though, so I hope and pray that you will be blessed by it.

Review questions:

1. Does the plot glorify God?

2. Does the film content glorify God through His Word - meaning, is there reference to scripture and the need to keep the ten commandments?

3. Which commandments were highlighted throughout the film?

4. Which Christian standards does the film promote?

5. Does the film give glory to God through praises and thanks?

6. Did the film encourage my faith?

7. What actions did I do as a result of  watching this film?

8. Would I change anything in the film?
