(Ir)religiosity

The good folks over at the Ooze sent me a copy of The Ordinary Radicals last week.  I had a chance to watch in full the other day and I really enjoyed it.  I read Jesus for President as soon as it came out and enjoyed it as well.  If you’re like me and weren’t able to attend the tour the past summer, then the film is definitely for you because it chronicles the entire journey, from being censored in Grand Rapids to refueling the bus with used vegetable oil (yep, that’s right, veggie oil) to everything in between.  And I haven’t even watched the special features yet.

Hearing some of the person stories that were spoken of in the book — the guy who left the military, and the Amish tragedy come to mind — was moving.  And of course the music was great too.  I absolutely love The Psalters.

I felt like that whole thing was just a tad long and could’ve been slightly shorter, but other than that it was great.  Good film editing and, from someone who didn’t make it to the real thing, a great inside look on the book tour.  Whether you’ve read the book or not, The Ordinary Radicals is well worth you time.
