A movie based on a true story was released regarding how this book, Purpose Driven Life written by Rick Warren, helped save the lives of 2 non-Christians who were headed on the road to destruction. Brian Nichols back in 2005 had committed mass murder on the same day he was on trial for rape. He randomly kidnapped Ashley Smith, recovering drug addict and single mother and holed up in her apartment for 7 hours before letting Ashley go free.
In moments of difficulty and great temptation, either human nature or the grace of God is clearly seen through the person. Both characters have had to go through much challenge and pressure but the choices they make in the end tell more about who they are and what they believe. The purpose of life is known when we go back to our Creator who created us for a purpose... the 2 of them in the end ask each other that question. Check out the trailer and news documentary clips below.
The movie "Captive" came out in 2015 starring Kate Mara and David Oyelowo.
