Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

This is an outstanding production. For those who only know Dean Jones from the Disney pictures (The Love Bug, Shaggy D.A., etc.) and such, here is a role for the actor that provides an opportunity for him to reveal both his tremendous dramatic talent and his deep Christian faith. Although some may say it is a little slow moving (perhaps because it is a recording of a stage performance at Jack Hayford's Church on the Way), the story is excellently written and has real depth. The production makes good use of various camera angles as well as creative lighting to add drama to the presentation. You find yourself quickly drawn into the story as Jones powerfully brings St. John to life, recounting, from his cell on the isle of Patmos, his journey with Jesus and the other disciples. A real tour de force performance by Jones (in the tradition of such one-man shows as Hal Holbrook's Mark Twain or James Whitmore's Harry Truman) makes this a DVD worth watching by anyone who appreciates a magnificent performance from an incredible actor and one that should definitely be in every Christian's collection.

As a conservative Mennonite I found the subject and contents sound and entertaining. This is a Staged production with audience with only one performer on stage. Acting as John during his house arrest under Roman guard the performer entrances the audience with his dialog and brings you a visual image through his acting and minimal props. He invites the audience in and speaks directly to them, thus drawing you directly on stage.What was most amazing was this was Dean Jone (Love Bug - Disney)... What a great performance. Its on VHS and DVD at your local Christian bookstore. Highly recommended.

This Movie is amazing. It is a one man show (play) about the apostle John while he was exiled on the island of Patmos. Dean Jones is superb as John. It is set as if you the audience has come to the island to see him. He tells his Gospel of Jesus and shares revelation. This is an accurate presentation of the Gospel of John. This film also makes a great witnessing tool. You feel like you are actually there with him walking with Jesus. You must see this film you will not be disapointed.

This movie, of all the movies that speak of the life of Christ, was not only reverent and accurate, based solely on the Scripture, but acted as a "peek" back into the inner circle of Jesus' earthly friends. John, the apostle, speaks with wit and charm and affection for the Lord to a group of young Christians while in exile at Patmos Penal Colony. It brings the viewer closer to Jesus and to all those who have given their lives for Him. Definitely a must see.
