When the tribe was asked permission to film their story, they said no. Only after hearing about the school shootings happening in the US did they grant permission for their story to be told. They hoped their turn from violence to peace could be an example for others. more

Quotes:

Elisabeth Elliot Gren: We were both Greek Majors. We saw each other every day. Every once in a while he would come along and he'd just slap his books down on the table and he'd sit down next to me and he'd say, "Well, where we were today?" And I said, "Well, What do you mean, 'Where are we?' You know I'm on this page and you're six pages behind or something." more

When I went to a concert...., 29 May 2005
Author: Porter Sultzbaugh (budsgrander) from Alexandria, Virginia

I went to see Steven Curtis Chapman in concert. I discovered there would be a film shown during the concert. This is not what I had envisioned, when going to a concert. "A movie"? "I didn't pay money for a movie, not tonight at least." The film which turned out to be Beyond The Gates Of Spldor, put me to tears. If you have ever had a tough time forgiving someone for an incident that happened in your past, please watch this movie.

Steve Saint and Mincaye were there and walked on stage right after the film was shown, a standing ovation was given.

Four years later I see the DVD for sale at a video store.

I didn't even think twice about dropping $20.00 for this. It is a must have, and I am proud to own it.
