Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - GOD IS MY WITNESS...
This is the incredible story of Nora Lam, a woman whose unwavering faith in God has seen her through more upheavals in her life than most people ever experience. This film is an adaptation of her book and is a condensation of Ms. Lam's extraordinary life. James F. Collier, who wrote the film adaptation, also directed the film.

In the film, her story begins in 1941, when she was a young child named Sung Neng Yee and lived in Shanghai with her wealthy parents, Dr. and Mrs. Sung (James ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Based on a true story
The acting is great. And Julia Nickson-Sole is convincing as Sung.

As a result of the Japanese invasion of China a wealthy family is displaced from their home and divested of their servants. The Commie replacement government was not very sympathetic toward this type of family either.

Now we see what is happening in degrees as she phased out of her cushy surroundings. She actually tries to comply with the new environment and approves of it.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A Phenomenal Film!!!
For those of you who like "true stories," this is a marvelous film, and it traces the life of a young woman who is born into a prestigious family in mainland China, and ultimately she experiences the invasion of the Japanese, when her family was torn apart, to the Cultural Revolution under Mao Tse Tung, and finally to the place where she sacrifices herself to save her family. Throughout it all, though, she holds firm to her faith, and in the process, her faith is re-kindled and she experiences a profound ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Excellent Movie-Powerful Witness!!!
This is an excellent movie! I saw it a few years ago and then again recently on TBN. The acting was truly superb and very convincing, too. Although not of Asian descent, I work in cross-cultural ministry with Asian-American college students and young adults. So the cultural things in reference to China were very helpful.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Faith in God can move mountains
This story is an amazing statement of faith in the power of God. The most amazing thing is that it is true! Nora Lam went through persecution unknown by most Christians with unwavering faith in the heavenly Father. Her life is nothing short of a miracle and an example for others to follow. Let us all pray that we will never have to undergo such horrible circumstances that would test our faith to those limits.
