The ADVENTISTS

I may be considered a little biased as my family spent 3 1/2 years as medical missionaries in Brazil working with the Seventh-day Adventists. We actually met the American couple doing work along the Amazon River. Before becoming an Adventist myself about 15 years ago, I had never even heard of Seventh-day Adventists. Even today, many other denominations are still confused about who Adventists are, even though the Kelloggs cereal company was started by Adventists as part of their medical/health evangelism. Don't take others people's word for it, check them out for yourselves, Adventists are in more parts of the world, have more schools, more hospitals, than any other Protestant denomination. Are some of their doctrines unique? Yes, but most assuredly they are Biblical. I personally had read the Bible through many times and wondered where the churches were that preached the Bible as written before I became an Adventist. Adventists are not "New Testament" Christians they are "Bible" Christians. The video does a great job of bringing out the medical-missionary work.

I really wish I was one of the actors to proclaim the gospel of Christ Though I don't really know how many Theater courses that I would have to finished or whether I was supposed to be a film major for one them or not. But I enjoyed Adventism so much and its steadfast message that I always desire what they offer, despite individual folks in the church who might take God the wrong way who says salvation is personal. I hope to help the movement reach Holy Hollywood, in Jesus name Amen! I did pray a lot for Adventist film you know thank God For "Good Good" and goodies in The Adventist sectors. Oh! Ouch the Adventist Hospitals are so good so does the vegan and vegeterian well prepared food.Jesus loves for giving us good and steady Adventist film in this day and age. Thank God for Chef BoyardventistSincerely,Yvette Remfort

As an Adventist, I enjoyed viewing this DVD. It was fair and informative. Seventh Day Adventists are portrayed as the thinking individuals that we are. While most of the information will be familiar to us, there were things that I learned from watching this film.Time is given to our history and faith. Attention is called to our health message and personal lifestyle. However the lion's share of the film was devoted to our health institutions and professionals. If I had one wish, it would have been to see more of the personal aspect of being an Adventist.I recommend this DVD to Adventists and anyone who wants to know more about us and our vision.

I AM AN ADVENTIST, SO PERHAPS I AM SLIGHTLY BIASED, BUT I FOUND THIS DVD TO BE VERY INFORMATIVE ABOUT THE HEALTHY LIFE-STYLE OF THE ADVENTIST PEOPLE. IT DID NOT TELL MUCH ABOUT THE DOCTRINES THEMSELVES, BUT THAT IS OK, BECAUSE THIS DVD WAS MEANT TO BE ABOUT HEALTH AND WHY THE ADVENTISTS LIVE APPROXIMATELY 10 YEARS LONGER THAN MOST OTHER PEOPLE. AT A LENGTH OF ABOUT ONE HOUR AND 15 MINUTES, IT IS FILLED FULL OF HELPFUL INFORMATION AND DOESN'T HAVE TIME TO BE BORING. THE ONLY THING THAT I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IS THE TITLE; IT LEADS ONE TO BELIEVE THAT THE FILM IS STRICTLY ABOUT THE ADVENTIST RELIGION, NOT THEIR HEALTHY LIFE-STYLE. IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN CALLED "HEALTHY HABITS OF THE SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS".

Though I have a few friends of the Adventist faith I was unaware of the specifics of this religion. This film uncovers the origin and modern practices of the Adventists. I was interested most in the emphasis this religion puts on both the spiritual and physical bodies in regards to total wellness. I would recommend this film to friends and family of all faiths looking to learn more about this religion and its impact on living longer, healthier lives.

Martin Doblmeier was the person to film and make this documentary about an obscure religion. I enjoyed the film. I did not give a full five stars because it only focused on diet and exercise. Mr. Doblmeier did very well with this, aspect. I would like to have seen more of the reasons behind for food and exercise and the spiritual part of this religion.I recommend this film for anybody wanting to know more of Seventh-day Adventists; but also pick up some of the recommended books and web sites for more information. I also have purchased more Adventist information, they have a wonderful health wise message.

The Adventists 2 moved me. It portrayed the Adventists' ability and determination to make a difference in the far corners of the world. These people would have dedicated their lives with no desire for recognition nor do they care whether or not anyone even knows what they were giving....and in most cases, these people have dedicated their entire lives to helping people medically. Thank Goodness there are people like this director, Doblmeier, who are willing to follow them LITERALLY to the "far and dangerous corners of the world" to tell us their heart-warming stories. Totally enjoyable learning experience for anyone and everyone! I TOTALLY recommend.
