Hey Gillyann,
I have ALWAYS enjoyed reading, and have found that for myself I always thought the 'movies' based on books didn't do justice to the 'books'. I guess that's because my own imagination had formed the characters, settings, and events as I 'see' them and then the producers and writers of the movie versions are limited to 'their' view of what and how they want to portray the story. I was almost always disappointed with the movies depiction, not always, but most of the ones I've watched.
See where this is going yet? I'm thinking the same with this situation...I'll stick with "The Book",<grin>. Plus I don't have those cable channels anyways...
But I hope the movie/documentary causes people who wouldn't normally read God's Word to be stirred and give them reason to search out the Scriptures to learn more.
“But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us,”

I saw a couple minutes of this presentation of "The Bible" Sunday morning on the History channel while working out at the fitness center. It was where Moses was speaking to Pharaoh about the freeing of the children of Israel. I guess I have too much of 'The Ten Commandments' and Charlton Heston in my memory, it just seemed like a cheaply made movie with poor acting and sets. (I didn't watch long enough to determine if it was presenting The Bible historically correct.)
Then last night I came across "The Passion of The Christ" and the scenes were where Judas was betraying Jesus and then where Peter was denying Him and the starting of the 'trial', couldn't watch. I saw this movie back when it came out(03-04?) and didn't care for it, just too graphic for me...even though I think what Jesus actually went through was even worse.
But if somewhere someone is convicted or enlightened to the point of repentance or beginning to seek to know God and understand His Word, then Praise Jesus!
“But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us,”
