To start with, I did not expect to like this movie as much as I did. Having enjoyed Courageous, God's not Dead (1 & 2,) Woodlawn, etc., I am well aware of what's possible when talented people of faith decide to put a lot of hard work into a movie. David A.R. White, for example has really raised the bar in this area.Another potential concern I have is the issue of bad theology. A number of "faith-based" movies have come out recently which model decidedly un-Christian behaviors and beliefs, not as an admonishment, but as the apologetic itself. This is not only confusing to non-believers and seekers, but outrageous to believers.Fortunately, "A Box of Faith" suffers from neither of these flaws. It is well acted, produced, and edited. It also appears to portray sound theology.Casting was equally well done here. At first, the actor playing the girl's father was a little difficult for me to accept, but as the character was developed, the choice made more sense. Nor did the teenage protagonist ever give me doubts.The message was also well handled. The behavior of the protagonists says more than any of their dialogue. In this, they communicated more effectively than most typical Sunday sermons.There were some challenges that viewers may have. We're asked early on to accept that the protagonist is a girl of deep faith. This is presumably because of a combination of her mother's example and spiritual challenges that she has faced in the loss of her mother. This wasn't well established initially, but the idea is there if you look for it. With that in mind, when the unthinkable happens leaving her alone with few resources and no recourse, when she simply places her faith in God, and obeys His direction, it is consistent and believable.Many will, no doubt, find this incredulous anyway. However, to anyone who has ever truly had to rely on God, or who has had their faith tested, then this is simply a normal and expected reaction on her part. In fact, viewers may be tempted to dismiss the magnitude of the disaster faced by this girl simply because her faith and actions, not to mention the way her needs are met, show that God is completely in control. She doesn't appear to be in distress because she isn't. But she is in a challenging, uncertain, and dangerous situation.Contrast this with someone in the same situation but without faith. The fear, uncertainty, and loss would be overwhelming. We don't sense any of that from this character. Not because of a bad script or bad acting (the acting was surprisingly good,) but because of her faith, and the working of the Holy Spirit in her life. This is what life is like for the truly faithful. Good things happen, and you are grateful. Bad things happen and God makes the suffering bearable, and you are grateful for that as well. Uncertainty is always a part of life, but when you have undergone the supernatural change that comes the Holy Spirit, then you know with certainty that faith in God is not a fairy-tale, and he actually does provide in ways that mere coincidence cannot account for.One issue that my wife initially found frustrating was the incident with the father's employer. She found it unbelievable that a situation so obviously contrived could really happen. However, I pointed out that this is actually a common occurrence, and is far more believable for me than something more complex. A malicious employee, and a disconnected business owner, have long been part of a recipe for injustice. For this, wise men have said, "Better ten guilty men go free, than one innocent be imprisoned." In a society overrun with crime, it's difficult to adopt that perspective.Overall, I found this movie inspirational as a study of faith and suffering. Jesus admonished us that following him is fraught with peril, and that we will suffer. Not that we may suffer, but that we will. So why follow him knowing that? It's simple. When you give your life to Christ, and put your faith in Him, you will never be alone no matter how bad it gets. We will all suffer at some point in our life. Why do it alone, when help is to be found from our Creator. "A Box of Faith" is a reminder that God is in charge, and that with faith Him we will receive what we need to endure the mess that we made of His creation, until his return.
