Stock Status: Backordered Expected arrival: 03/22/2016 Updated: 3/15/2016 9:21am CDT Description:"I am the light of the world. He who believes in me shall not perish." Stranded in the middle of nowhere, five strangers take refuge in a deserted roadside diner. An arrogant businessman, a lonely woman, an estranged couple, and a teen runaway, they appear to have nothing in common. But the Christlike proprietor seems strangely all-knowing and offers more than temporal nourishment. The Encounter DVD Details:
(View all 101 reviews) This is a wonderful family movie. (no written review given) Brings Jesus into our present lives in a new and real way. A "Must See." This move is Awesome! If you dare to watch this move be prepared to "Encounter" Jesus in the "Twilight Zone". I liked this movie. The acting was good and the plot and setting were not only interesting, but intriguing. My friend watching it with me called it trippy and surreal. It was a fresh way to see Jesus, how He listens to prayer, how He pursues us and makes sure we all have the chance to choose Him, but the free will to not, and the battle between Him and Satan for our souls. I have recommended it to others. (no written review given) (no written review given) watched it on netflex with 9yr old grandson, we were both glued to the end, loved it. i think it made my grandson a believer, thanks watched it with 9yr old grandson, we were both glued to the end, loved it. i think it made my grandson a believer, thanks (no written review given) The Encounter - DVD Already Asked: 8 Questions, 161 Answers
Sort by: ChristianCinema.com Store asked: Why did you choose this? Michelle K: Watched for the first time and would be a great witnessing tool as well as encouragement to Christians. Mar 6, 2016 Tonya F: This has turned into a timeless movie for me and my husband. We get something new out of it almost every time we watch it and that has been pretty often. Also love the fact that my 6 year old daughter enjoys the movie and will ask to watch it as well. Awesome movie! Feb 2, 2016 Rick W: I feel that Bruce Marciano was just an actor, until he receives this acting role. This role changed him personally, that will forever be part of his life. You can see this change on screen, and most likely change the lives of anyone who watches and listens to "HIS" words. Nobody is that good of an actor. I would has to personally say " Bruce is being used as an instrument of God, representing "HIS" son. Amen" Jan 22, 2016 Alice L: Very thought-provoking. You can go to church your whole life and still not have a personal relationship with Jesus. This group of people in the restaurant have interesting conversations. Jan 16, 2016 Michael T: I want to show this movie in the church but we don't have it available in Poland, so I ordered from you. Nov 27, 2015 william h: this movie made me melt i love Jesus so much great movie the man who played Jesus was awesome Oct 1, 2015 ROGER D: WILL BE GIVING THEM AWAY AS A WITNESSING TOOL, TO HELP OTHER TO COME TO KNOW JESUS AS THERE PERSONAL LORD AND SAVOR. Jul 23, 2015 Jeff E: Brings the viewer to the most important question in our lives. Will I recognize and accept God's provision for entry into eternal joy, love and fulfillment in his/our heavenly home or turn our backs on him and risk joining the demons in torment. Dec 28, 2014 Marilyn R: My son saw this first and I got a little upset with him because he didn't tell me how good this movie was. Notice the sheriff's name in this movie. Loved the different characters' life stories. I learned something too; so I added some wisdom, too. Jul 24, 2014 Donna C: Inspirational Movie..I could watch it everyday and never grow tired of the experience. Jun 10, 2014 Laurie B: It got excellent reviews. And I love B Marciano (sp?). Plus they put a sequel out, so it must have been well-received :-) Thanks! Mar 11, 2014 Jane K: My 20-something boys need to see this; they need a deeper faith. I just hope I can get them to watch it over Christmas break. Nov 21, 2013 Gerald R: The message in this film is often not heard, even in churches which claim to be preaching the whole gospel. It covers every type of person who God touches with the invitation to become a member of the Kingdom of God. I have show this to several people and they have all found it to be, not only inspiring but to some, that they had never really given their lives to Christ. (Something they claim they have taken care of since.) Feb 21, 2013 Rick C: I thought the theme would be interesting for my 7th-9th grade Sunday School class. Jan 20, 2013 Justina U: I chose this DVD having seen it on tbn because it touched my heart, and I know it will speak to many old and young about God's love for them.

Jun 25, 2012 Anna A: THIS MOVIE IS INSPIRING, WENT I FIRST SAW IT, IT MADE ME CRY. IT SHOWS THAT, EVEN IF WE THINK THAT WE HAVE NOTHING COMMON WITH EACH OTHER, WE ASSUREDLY HAVE EVERYTHING IN COMMON THROUGH GOD.

Sep 7, 2011 Bo G: I found this one interesting as I believe that miracles happen every day in our lives. Some small, some big. Unfortunately we are usually to busy to notice....But I bet we would notice this one! Jul 13, 2011 Nancy C: The actor was awesome in the Matthew portrayal of Jesus, so I knew he would be excellent in this movie. It was spiritually stimulating and promotes the desire to know Jesus more Jul 11, 2011 Jorge C: I know that Marciano only do movies related to Jesus. But still in this days God said he will appear to some and will not known him. It is written that we maybe hosted angels of the Lord without knowing. Jun 29, 2011 Sharon J asked: I would like to know if this movie would be relevant to young adults who are medical students. I am looking for a very thought provoking evangelistic movie to cater to the unsaved. Would you recommend this movie for that purpose and why? Mar 3, 2012 Desiree G: I loved this movie! I am saved but still this movie brought me to tears! I bought several copies & gave them away. I'm sure I'll buy more copies in the future. This movie would be good for any age group, nothing in it specific for medical students, but it is thought provoking for any group. I've also purchased 'Gifted Hands' which is about a doctor & they might really identify with that one. I can't recommend it personally because I haven't seen it yet. Mar 5, 2012 Reply to Desiree Good answer? Yes (3) No (0) Terry H: I enjoyed watching this movie. Its been a few months since I watched it, but I can still recall the characters and message the movie was trying to convey. At first, the main character seemed "out of place" and made me feel a little uncomfortable. But as the movie continued, I began to feel myself getting a little more involved with what was going on. The main character actually started to become more convincing. He was quoting scriptures by using today's language. I'm sure this movie would be relevant to all adults, young and old alike. It's definitely a very thought provoking evangelistic movie. However, I don't think I would venture to say it would be relevant and/or targeted to any specific profession, religion, or individuals. Mar 4, 2012 Reply to Terry Good answer? Yes (1) No (0) John D: This is certainly a thought-provoking movie and is highly suitable for such students and in fact for anyone who is unsure of their relationship with the LORD. Nick, one of the main characters, is the only one who is not saved in the end because he will not humble himself, while the other characters were all prepared to listen. Mar 4, 2012 Reply to John Good answer? Yes (0) No (0) Roger R: We've seen this movie and also have read many comments on this film on CFDb and it is very thought provoking and will definintely make people think and question things, whether Christian or non-Christian. It would be a good film for this purpose. The film combined with a lot of prayer and God will do the rest. Mar 3, 2012 Reply to Roger Good answer? Yes (0) No (0) Ronald l. J: Sharon this is a very good movie. For those who are unsaved, this is a good movie to watch. The brother whom plays Jesus is very good. Let everyone one mind be very open. There is no one in the cast who is the medical procession.Just sit down and watch it will hit home. Be Blessed Ronald Mar 4, 2012 Reply to Ronald l. Good answer? Yes (0) No (0) Randy G: I think it would be relevant for any age. We know Jesus knows everything but to see and hear Him in real life explaining every detail from our past is very interesting and makes you stop and think about your life and how you got to where you are. Very well done would recommend to anyone. Mar 4, 2012 Reply to Randy Good answer? Yes (0) No (0) Karen S: Yes, highly recommended, because it addresses a lot of questions people currently have in regards to Christ and how He wants to be part of your life. We just had a showing at our church and it led to a good discussion of the people who attended. Mar 4, 2012 Reply to Karen Good answer? Yes (0) No (0) Sean D: Yes, this movie is suitable for everyone. It deals with questions frequently asked by the unsaved but also for the saved. It's a very good movie to evangelize with. Highly recommended!! Mar 5, 2012 Reply to Sean Good answer?

Who else was as affected the way I was by Bruce Marchiano's portrayal of Jesus? His performance was so amazing I couldn't take m eyes off him. Whatever you religious beliefs are, you have to see this movie. Aug 15, 2011 Ruth P: Hi there ....I bought this movie 2 months ago and I have to tell you that it slapped me in the face as well. The acting was great BUT the Truth behind the movie is true. Jesus loves us very much and you would have got that but He wont force himself on you and I know that was in the movie. As you would have seen life isnt always a bed of roses but Jesus is alwayswith us. I lost a friend in a motor bike accident yesterday and he didnt want to know about the Lord, I cryed cause I know that last time we talked he still wasnt interested in God. I hope you have asked Jesus into your heart ...time is short Jesus is coming back sooner than we think. Oct 2, 2011 Reply to Ruth Good answer? Yes (0) No (0) Sharon H: Sharon H: I was so depressed on Christmas Eve, I was contemplating suicide. I watched this movie and it literally saved my life. I saw my answers to my own despair in the dialogue at the cafe and prayed all night not to forget what Jesus said; that I had value and he knew my future before I was even born. Subconsciously I knew that, but hadn't consciously remembered it. God answered my prayer and I received this DVD for Christmas from my daughter, who never knew my circumstance. God does know what we need, and supplies it when we ask. I have a "lost" friend who must see this. Fantastic movie! Will watch it over and over;and share it with everyone I know. Amen! Jan 6, 2012 Reply to Sharon Good answer? Yes (0) No (0) Cordelia W: This is an amazing movie and It makes you think about your own life. What if? Who would I be more like? and so on. Aug 15, 2011 Reply to Cordelia Good answer? Yes (0) No (0) Reply to FRANCES Good answer? Yes (0) No (0) A shopper asked: Is the movie in Spanish? Aug 3, 2011 Mary R: I dont recall that being an option in the setup screen. I can check and let you know tomorrow. Aug 3, 2011 Reply to Mary Good answer? Yes (0) No (0) Reply to Jerry Good answer?

Yes (0) No (1) Reply to Danny Good answer? Yes (0) No (1) Kera V asked: How do you feel about the answers Jesus gives for the tough questions the 5 diner visitors ask Him? I felt like Jesus answers each question with such insight and truth. Some of those questions..I often ask myself..definately a movie to watch again! Jun 5, 2011 Leon M: Well Kera I felt the same as far as the way he answered most of their questions . However I felt with a few more travelers at the diner would have expanded the questions and we could really got into a far greater and wider range of the Word and really got into his true salvation for all . Jun 6, 2011 Reply to Leon Good answer? Yes (0) No (0) Danny W: I felt the answers Jesus gave were just right for each questions asked him .Over all it was a very good film I have watched it twice and it is one I will watch again and show friends when they come round.

Pleae advise me on the dicussion guidelines to use. Can someone help? Apr 18, 2012 Roger R: Hi, The film does not come with a bible study guide, sorry. I wish it did. What I think would work is, as your watching the film, jot down the different subjects that come up during the film. After the film, if you just bring up these and ask what everyone felt about how the film dealt with it and what they thought about it. This should get everyone talking. I hope that helps a little, I wish I could help more. Just a FYI, they are filming vol. 2 now, looks really good from the trailer. Apr 19, 2012 Reply to Roger Good answer? Yes (0) No (0) |
