This was a great movie that really showed God's Love, Forgiveness and Salvation. This move shows that God can Save and Change us. This movie also shows that God will use us in other people's lives also. A wonderful film.

It's been sometime since I watched the movie, but seeing as how all but one person gives this a high rating, I thought to shed light on my concerns towards this movie.
Both my roomate and I agree on these points.
1st, the pastor in the movie decides to take revenge into his own hands when a drug dealer fatally beats up a young man. The pastor says "Vengance is mine, saith the Lord!" as he is beating on the drug dealer.
Tell me, does this promote the attitude Jesus would have us have? Does this encourage the fruit of the Spirit? Nowhere after this scene does the pastor apologize for his actions, nor does the movie portray this behavior as wrong.
2nd, the pastor and drug dealer go head to head again inside a church, with the drug dealer threatening to kill the pastor. After a weird and unrealistic turn of events, the drug dealer goes from threatening to kill the pastor to him handing the gun over to the pastor, saying "the old man needs to die." Sure, this principle is true, but my roomate and I looked at eachother and thought it was a concerning way to end the movie. If you watch it, you may see what I mean.
Others have said that it depicts a way of life in the ghetto, and I give full support to that, but this movie doesn't seem to promote the attitude Christ would have us have.

"Keeping it real". I know hearing someone saying that phrase may sound cheesy at times to the nearby listener, especially if that someone is white like me, but it is a true life statement. One of the biggest complaints about Christianity from outsiders is "there are too many phonies and hypocrites". I agree with that complaint, in fact Jesus said the same thing to the Pharisees too; though everyone at times is guilty of being one. Saving God is a film which keeps it real in that their approach was uniquely addressed to both Christians and agnostics. I am not an expert on this, but I would also argue this was a decent film in addressing life on the streets.
Saving God is about a Reverend who returns to his community after serving a 15 year sentence, which he has sincerely repented of ever committing. Reverend Armstrong Cain is taking over his father's church, which rests in the middle of the ghetto, and it has certainly seen better days... The Reverend struggles through trials such as repairing the church, dealing with financial difficulties, facing the critics who aren't very forgiving of his past, and reaching the lost souls around him. While in the restoring process, Armstrong Cain meets a lost soul named Norris who is trying to sell drugs next door. At first when meeting the Reverend, Norris isn't very open to what is said, despite Reverend Cain saving his life. As Norris occasionally runs into the Reverend, his drug dealer Boss Blaze, his grandma, and his girlfriend Norris' priorities begin to change. Norris is tired of feeling like he is worthless and he is also tired of being mistreated. The reopening of Armstrong's church changes many of the lives within the ghetto.
This was intense. I was almost expecting this to be very corny, unrealistic, and stereotypical; since a lot of people don't understand that particular culture. Although I'll admit I am not someone who understand a lot about life in the ghetto, from what I could tell this movie orchestrated an accurate depiction; though cities vary of course. Although the movie was dark at times, I felt the mood and most of the story made sense and was threaded well into place. I enjoyed hearing some of the Reverend's responses to his trials and critics. I also liked how they turned the word "thug" into a Christianized Acronym "True Heroes Under God". I was surprised to see despite the ghetto setting, the characters didn't swear. I was pleased to hear Jesus being preached, though more time could have been spent on this. The ending confused me at first, but after thinking about it, while writing this review, I was able to determine how things went as they did. Overall not a bad movie and a movie worth sharing with lost souls especially.

This movie is realistic in depicting truth in a way many would relate to. He that win souls is wise. I don't believe Christian movies should only be watched by Christians just as secular movies are not only watched by unbelievers. Thank God his perception is so much broader than ours can ever be. In fact, God being all knowing knows excatly what vehicle to use for each person to bring them to truth. This movie draws all audiences. Many of us who call ourselves Christians need to stop living in the bubble and start reaching out of the bubble into the world many people experiencing real hurts/pains live in and don't know how to deal with. Jesus touched those types of people and did not limit Himself to the bubble. He walked in humility although He was God and has adomished us all to do the same. This movie is one way of doing it. Well done!

I was very impressed with the acting, writing, and production values of this movie, compared to most other "Christian" movies; and in fact, it stands up well to secular movies. Plus the Ving Rhames backstory is very interesting, which is part of the ample extra features you don't usually find on Christian DVDs. I would highly recommend it, especially for someone who complains about the quality of Christian movies.

Review 7 for Saving God: One Soul at a Time, DVD
Overall Rating:
Date:December 12, 2009
As a conservative, Bible believing pastor, I can honestly say this is one of the best Christian films I've ever seen. A lot of Christian films are schlock-fests with bad adding, saccharine dialogue, and over simplified solutions to problems. Not so with this movie. It was a gritty, human drama about redemption. The ending had me with tears in my eyes. I'm really shocked by the one viewer that rated it so poorly. She commented that the Christian couple had only been with each other was a dead giveaway to fornication. I disagree. It was stated in a way that could be taken that way; could also be taken as they have only dated one another. The conversation in the film with the quote in question wasn't sexual in nature. I didn't take the quote as being about sex when I watched it. This was a great film, with a great story and great acting. Ving Rhames is fantastic in it. I'd highly recommend this film to anyone.

I consider this movie to be a great example on how people are prejudged and how some churches loose the real focus on what is importance of what pleases God, not only as a church member but as a Pastor. This movie gives alot of insight.Thank you for the message it brings to our hearts. God bless you! Wilda

This is an excellent movie.The person who gave this one star may not have really been watching the movie with the proper focus.First when God saves us he does not hide our personalaties so the preacher may have been tough but he loved the Lord. Secondly, in the movie it was clearly stated that the christian couple had only been with each other and that they did not have any sex.Christians do not all come wrapped in the same package as our experiences are different.However, it is very clear that the ex-con pastor was motivated by the love of Christ in his life because even in anger if we are truly Christ's he will stop us from going over the edge if we obey his voice.I only need to tell you that this movie was shown in a youth meeting comprised of tough young men from a detention center. At the end of the movie when the invitation was given 30 of them with tears in their eyes came to know Jesus Christ and are currently continuing to study the scriptures and live for Christ simply because they said that this was the first "christian," movie that they had seen which reflected the reality of life in the inner city and God's will that none should perish but that all should come to him.

I just finished watching the movie which I feel was well done. I have been in prison ministry for almost 20 years now. I have worked with women coming out of prison and started a house for them. I go in the jail each week and visit men. I say that so you understand that I have worked with these people. I have prayed with people like the young man in the film that is forced to talk to God. I believe that the pastor was led by the spirit to do what he did. If he had not been, the young man would not have talked to God. He did not force him to say anything, but to just talk and get it off his chest what he had to say that was eating him up inside. These people for the most part don't like the way they are and this movie does a beautiful job of bringing that out. It also shows the hopeless lives they were born into and the choices they have thrown at them. It shows so much of how the Lord helps them if they ask. It is a very powerful movie and very well done to show all the emotions these people go through and the problems the pastor had with his past and being on parole. His emotions and past are what helped him to reach Blaze and he was probably the only one who could. I feel this is a Christian movie and shows how imperfect people are just like the Bible does.

That one star rating drove me crazy. I found that it was quite arrogant to suggest the idea of having to have "good Christians" in a Christian movie. I find it interesting that Christians need to live 'perfect' lives to be considered good examples! Also, the teenager who was "forced" to talk to God probably would not have become a Christian by the end of the movie, how sad would that be? This is, in my opinion, a great movie about a pastor who makes God real to the people of a troubled neighborhood, and who is able to use his love of people through God's love to reach out to the community and lead people to Christ. This is a Christian movie, and I would fully contest anyone who says otherwise. However, it is still could possibly be a a great tool to use to witness to nonbelievers who may have made some of he mistakes presented in the movie. 5 stars all the way!

This is a fantastic movie! It is highly believable and sends encouraging messages. The person who gave this one star, forgot to consider that Christianity is "Faith-Based." Anything that glorifies God is good, even if it is secular. This movie is for anyone who grew up in a bad neighborhood and wants to know the importance and feelings in which it takes to change it.

Overall Rating:

Buyer beware! This is a faith-based not a Christian movie, i.e. secular people making a movie that mentions and involves Christianity. An ex-con turned pastor wants to reach people in a bad neighborhood for God realistic set-up, great potential. A teenage girl finds out shes pregnant, her Christian girlfriend encourages her to talk to God about it. So far, so good. The pregnant girl points out the great example of the Christian couple to her boyfriend, Theyve only been with each other! !!! Wow! What a long way we have come! So people are good Christians now if they fornicate with only one partner?? [I guess I am so hopelessly old-fashioned, I have no chance of ever catching up. And then, on second thought, I really dont want to!] There are other weak points: when the pastor decides that the teenage boy needs to turn to God he pulls him down on his knees and practically makes him talk to God. Not something I would suggest for personal soul winning. If this were a secular movie Id think its ok because of some values, e.g. the negative consequences of messing with sin, even just a little, or the importance of making right choices even in the face of odds. But as a CHRISTIAN movie it stinks!
