Last weekend my pastor at LifeChurch.tv preached a great message about the book of Hosea. It reminded me of a short film called “Oversold”. A good friend of mine named David Cowan and his business partner Paul Morrell produced this incredible film which is a modern retelling of the story of Hosea who married a prostitute.
The film stars Crissy Moran (pictured), a former porn star who became a follower of Christ. Some people are not comfortable with the film because it stars someone who used to make her living in the sex industry; many of them even look down on the film. I’m not one of those people. Frankly, I’m thrilled that Crissy knows Jesus and is doing her best to honor Him with her new life.
My thoughts on the film are simple: See it. It’s artfully produced, well written, and creatively thought out. The acting is kinda iffy in parts, but all-in-all it’s definitely worth seeing.
David and Paul have also produced a 4 week small group curriculum that accompanies the film. Through the curriculum you’ll learn more about God’s unconditional love and His unbelievable grace. The curriculum is right for any group!
Let me encourage you to download the movie from iTunes and to purchase the small group curriculum. The proceeds benefit Crissy’s ministry and they’ll also help fund future projects like “Oversold”.
