One thought to “Behind the Sun (1995)”
Courage to live the teachings of Jesus, even when rejected by family, society, governments, nations, is the will of God manifest in human flesh! If we truly follow the way of the Father, we will be hated, despised, rejected, in the world! It is a small price to pay for eternal peace, joy, love! Thank you for the film, may God be with you! Amen!
