Outstanding movie with incredible story line.
10 June 2015 | by (Salt Lake City, Utah) – See all my reviews

My wife and I saw this movie on 8 June 2015 and were extremely pleased with the first rate quality of story, acting, filming and especially the sensitive and convincing portrayal of the many miraculous events.

Believers will be inspired and non believers will be left wondering --"how could this not be an experience to give one reason to seriously consider that there is more to life than just what we see." We have some good friends who lived in Cokeville at the time of the explosion, and they have told us of the appearance of angels and deceased family members to the children. They said that the movie is an accurate representation of the events of that experience. Their son even said that he was told by an unseen voice three times to move over by the window. When the blast occurred he found himself outside the room not knowing how he got there.

Skeptics should simply see this film with an open mind. Perhaps they will be inspired and touched by this beautiful depiction of a true story as we were.
