Movie Reviews of Bill and Gloria Gaither: Because He Lives
Movie Review: The Best Inspirational Gift, Given
Summary: 5 Stars
Mother and Jimmy used to watch the Gaither Homecomings on regular cable every Saturday evening. Then the broadcast only became available on digital cable, which we do not have. They missed the hour so much I decided to buy a "few" Gaither DVDs that they could play and replay during that Saturday hour. I purchased "Amazing Grace," "How Great Thou Art," "The Gaither Vocal Band," and "Because He Lives." I gave them as Gaither gifts to them and related my suggestion.
They played "Amazing Grace" and was moved to play another, then another, then another ... When they played "Because He Lives" they were moved to a reverent silence after the viewing. During the viewing they discussed the various performers and performances. They listened closely to the interviews and discussed the responses and recollected the times reflected in those responses. It was a familiar time of family cohesiveness, changing environments, diminishing abilities brought on by aging ... but the one constant was the Connection with our Creator and the beautiful Gaither expressions of His faithfulness to the ALL, even though we have not, yet, leaned to be faithful to Him. The Gaithers remind us that His gift of Grace permeates our lives and gives us strength and comfort even at our lowest moments.
"Because He Lives" is so loved by Mother that she plays it constantly and shares both the DVD and its message with everyone she loves. During her hospital stays, she plays it as often as practical in her room. It gives her comfort and peace and allows her to drift into a deep and recuperative sleep. I, too, enjoy this DVD as one of their best, and find myself absent-mindedly softly singing of humming some of their familar songs to myself. I learned of Danny Gaither's gift and sought out more of his music in similar media. I sought productions featuring Lynda Randle, Guy Penrod, Wintly Phipps and others .
What started out as a "few" DVDs to partially compensate for that lost Saturday Evening Hour has grown into a collection of Gaither Homecoming DVDs, special collections of some of their performers, and special tributes to past performers. Every day Mother listens to at least one in that growing collection, and usually "Because He Lives" is in that number.
I am writing this review since I logged in to order a copy to be sent to a helpful nurse, who expressed such joy from being able to enter Mother's room to praise of God's love and promise, during Mother's most recent hospital stay. Afterward, I will setup Mother's portable DVD player, as I have done every night for the last 9 nights [including the ones in ICU] to help her enter a peaceful sleep and, "face tomorrow."
