This is a great movie from several perspectives. For the Christian faith, it is a beautiful example of the role of possessions in our lives. It illustrates that Biblical principal that when we lose everything that our culture values, we can gain everything that God values and gives real meaning and purpose to our lives. We are reminded of the power of one person to make a difference in the lives of many and that salvaging abused children can lead to their salvation. The movie is a must see for those working with foster children. It honors the noble and sacrifical work they to do and the need of our society to care and support our abused children for our sake and theirs.

The movie is a great reminder for us to look beyond ourselves to the needs of others. And in choosing to serve others, our own lives can become fulfilled and complete.
