About the movie:
PAUL, APOSTLE OF CHRIST is the story of two men. Luke, as a friend and physician, risks his life when he ventures into the city of Rome to visit Paul, who is held captive in Nero’s darkest, bleakest prison cell. But Nero is determined to rid Rome of Christians, and does not flinch from executing them in the grisliest ways possible. Before Paul’s death sentence can be enacted, Luke resolves to write another book, one that details the beginnings of “The Way” and the birth of what will come to be known as the church.
Bound in chains, Paul’s struggle is internal. He has survived so much—floggings, shipwreck, starvation, stoning, hunger and thirst, cold and exposure—yet as he waits for his appointment with death, he is haunted by the shadows of his past misdeeds. Alone in the dark, he wonders if he has been forgotten . . . and if he has the strength to finish well.
Two men struggle against a determined emperor and the frailties of the human spirit in order to live out the Gospel of Jesus Christ and spread their message to the world.

My Thoughts:
This movie has perfect timing. We are currently being questioned about our Christianity, about our faith in God. This movie also coincides with Jesus Christ rising from the tomb. I don't actually know the story of Paul the Apostle. It's one that I am now super interested to read in my bible this weekend. I love how the writers took the time to make sure that this movie was super accurate with the bible and with things going on at the same time near where Paul's story was taking place.
If you don't win tickets to see this movie, go see it anyway! It's really well written and well put together! The acting is amazing, and so is Paul's story!
