Recommending - St. John in exile DVD

https://www.amazon.com/St-John-Exile-Dean-Jones/dp/1563713942
A good friend had gifted me with the DVD St. John in Exile for Christmas, and my Beloved and I settled in for a viewing this evening. As many others have said, "It's magnificent!" It stars Dean Jones and is his one-man dramatization of John's exile on Patmos. The DVD release date was 2011, but I had not previously heard of it. It's an unforgettable performance.

But of more import than the performance itself, it gave me a broader understanding of John's ministry and a richer understanding of Jesus himself.

From the back cover:
Imprisoned, John, the last living disciple of Jesus' twelve, remains full of humor, strong inspirit and obstinately spry. Through his eyes we relive the moving events in which Jesus Christ changed the course of human history.

If you click on the image, you can view the trailer on Amazon (scroll down on that page), or when you have the time, you could watch it on YouTube.  It's amazing to me that Dean Jones could remember so many lines throughout the production. But as he said in the extras interview, it was truly God's energizing and enablement.
