The film, The Secrets of Jonathan Sperry, set in a small town in upstate New York in 1970, is truly a stunning success for the Christian-crossover genre of films like Fireproof, a more recent winner in the secular market. The director, Rich Christiano, also co-wrote the film with his brother Dave, both of whom have been producing, writing, and directing films since the late 1980's. This is undoubtedly their best film to date.

Truly a breath of fresh air for those sick of the cesspool that is Hollywood.
Summary:
Set in the summer of 1970, THE SECRETS OF JONATHAN SPERRY tells the story of Dustin and his friends, who must find a Christian way to deal with the school bully. THE SECRETS OF JONATHAN SPERRY is slow and static at times, but it is a very sweet, kind-hearted evangelistic movie thats surprisingly winsome, endearing and family friendly.

Fireproof was a very good movie. I shall have to watch this one soon.
has this been rolled out in most off the big theaters?
“must find a Christian way to deal with the school bully.”
Turn the other cheek? Let him hit you again?
OMG! None other than Gavin MacLeod plays the title role.
Good to see him working again. I didn’t even know for certain he was still kicking.

I have known Dave Christiano for many years and can tell you that these brothers are absolutely devoted to making wholesome Christ centered films that are capable of entertaining as well as delivering the message of God’s love for humanity. Do yourselves a favor and visit www.christianfilms.com.
I saw it last night. It’s excellent.
Robert Guillaume (Benson) is also in it.
