It Just Makes Sense-From Darkness to Light.......2007-01-09

I thought this was an excellent movie. It goes to show that we don't have to stay in the dark, no matter what the obstacle, because Jesus is the Light of the World. He will bring you to him, just rely totally on Him and deliverance will come, victory will come, mountains will be moved! I was especially moved when I heard Donnie McClurkin's testimony regarding the song "Stand." (By the way, it is my favorite song.)It is through these life changing experiences that Jesus can do his greatest work, when we rely on him. So stop trying to fix the problem, for you see, after you've done all "you" can, just "Stand," and watch the Lord see you through. Another good point was Donnie's remark about the "mothers" in the church who kept him in line. They encouraged him to be a man. They told him this is how a man should act. With so many "fatherless" homes, we need the good old mothers today, but where are they?
I do wish that there was more time in the movie to hear more verses of the songs that were sung; but that would have made the movie too long. I was able to listen to some of the songs from the extras. Even the "behind the scenes" look was encouraging. Just think, even Donnie McClurkin gets nervous, but he has a job to do, and he does it - minister to the people. That's the example for all of us. You have a gift and God will help you to use it.
One final thought, regardless of what the world says, God created "man," and "woman" to be his help meet. That's the way it "is" to be. Those practicing ungodly ways, you too need to come out of the darkness to the light.

Awesome Story to Tell.......2006-05-06

I waited to get this DVD because I thought it would be just another singer telling his life story. But when I finally decided to buy it, I realized that it was just that. Someone telling his courageous life story. This DVD what incredibly inspiring. I can't say enough about his ability to live when life was hard, his courage to tell the most intimate secrets in order to help others, his drive to do what God called him to do, his passion to tell others about the One who delivered him...I am forever changed by his testimony.

A Blessing.......2006-04-24

This story was a blessing and a healing for life's journey no matter what you may have been through, there is deliverance and this story shares how to get that deliverance. I wished that I had seen this story before I saw Donnie McClurkin in person about two weeks ago and I would have been more in tune with his ministry even though it was awesome.

Inspiring..........2006-03-11

I found this project to be inspirational because it gave insight to the ups and downs of Pastor Donnie McClurkin's personal life issues, family, friends, and gift. A nice family-oriented work you can share with your family and friends. A must have for fans, because it definitely shows the 'story before the glory'. The DVD is also pack with, backstage passes at special events including awards and concerts. Contains church appearances and celebrity interviews...
