I am reviewing both “Finding God in the Bible” and the film “Father of Lights” by Darren Wilson.
Darren Wilson is a man who grew up in the Christian church, but didn’t have a relationship with God. There were many things about God and the Bible that scared Darren, or didn’t make sense to him. When he was close to thirty, Darren found himself dissatisfied with his life, and creatively blocked. He was also angry with anything that had to do with God or church. Out of desperation, he gave into his wife’s entreaties, and asked God for help. From that moment foreword, his life changed completely.
Darren’s plea led him to God, and spiritual worlds opened up to Darren he had never expected. He saw angels, healings and met a man who heard God literally talk to him every day. His career went a new direction, that of a film maker. Although Darren had never had a desire to be a film maker, and didn’t feel he had the training or equipment to do it, he made three films that were all very popular–all because he followed the urgings from God. He also wrote books, and went to many places around the world. But his biggest desire in his life was to become a friend of God.
Both the book, “Finding God in the Bible,” and the film, “Father of Lights,” document Darren’s amazing journey being a friend of God. He chronicles his about-face opinion of the Christian church, the Bible, and the greatest desire in his life. He records astonishing people, events and situations. Many people become Christ followers during his journeys. Although he does not agree with some of the ways other Christians try to bring people to Christ, he prays for his fellow Christians, even ones with opposite methods than his.
Both the book and the movie really cause one to think. As a Christian, it caused me to reflect about the best way to have a relationship with God, and to be a Christ follower. Darren Wilson was very sincere in his writing of this book and this film. I give them both 4 stars.
The publisher has provided me with a complimentary copy of this book and film through Chosen Books and Bethany House Publishing for the purpose of review. All opinions expressed are my own, and I have not been compensated in any other manner. Despite my receiving the book free, it has not influenced my judgment, and I have given an honest opinion.
