Sadly, this "reviewer" only gives it 2.5 stars out of 5. I give it 5 of 5. :)

The proud father of Tyrone Woods, one of the fallen heroes from the Benghazi attack, quoted scriptures of encouragement and stories centered on a God of love and his sovereign power over everything.

Kirk Cameron! Why didn’t I think of asking him
those questions? Tell us Kirk, why does God put up with Satan’s existence? Why not put him in time out, alternate universe, or just undo him?
Who’d know better than a guy whose movie opened just now? unstoppablethemovie.com
Good thing it’s a movie, not a blog, or this thread would not be in News/Activism.

Unlike the response to a child in the Christian film Courageous, Unstoppable doesn’t seek out survival skills or a reason to carry on, but rather an understanding of an omnipotent God who works through horrible and tragic events, as documented in the Bible, to deliver mercy, grace, love and everlasting hope. HuffPo described the film as a “One Hour Sermon” and that isn’t unfair. The film’s target audience is Bible believing Christians who will ask these questions as tragedy lands on their doorstep.

People break down into two groups.

When they experience something lucky, group number one sees it as more than luck, more than coincidence. They see it as a sign - evidence - that there is someone up there watching out for them.

Group number two sees it as just pure luck. Just a happy turn of chance. I'm sure the people in group number two are looking at those fourteen lights in a very suspicious way. For them, the situation is a fifty-fifty. Could be bad, could be good. But deep down, they feel that whatever happens, they're on their own. And that fills them with fear.

Yeah, there are those people. But there's a whole lot of people in group number one. When they see those fourteen lights, they're looking at a miracle. And deep down, they feel that whatever's going to happen, there will be someone there to help them. And that fills them with hope.

See what you have to ask yourself is what kind of person are you? Are you the kind that sees signs, that sees miracles? Or do you believe that people just get lucky? Or, look at the question this way: Is it possible that there are no coincidences?

-- Graham Hess, from the M. Night Shyamalan film Signs

I enjoyed it for the most part

But understanding God Sovereignty will help you understand “WHY”

Why do bad things happen to good people...

Ask Able.

“Where is God when you are in the middle of the tragedy?”

My question for the last four months. At the beginning of June, my wife of 23 years left with no explanation. Hit me like a bolt of lightning. Moved in with a guy who lives off the gov’t and whatever girlfriend he can get to stay there. He even kicked out his then current girlfriend for my wife.

Next she called the cops saying I was going to kill myself and had me committed for a week, during which she removed half the money from our savings.

During all this our (adopted) 12 year old daughter starts going out of control. We have now lost physical custody of her to her birth mother.

I have finally resigned myself to the fact that the wife isn't coming back and that I probably wouldn't want her if she did.

But I have prayed about this again and again and God has not revealed anything to me or provided any comfort. I feel like I have been totally abandoned. Where is God?

“Where is God when you are in the middle of the tragedy?”

He's right there holding your hand.

Been there. There is no other explanation for it.
