MOVIE REVIEW r. Louie Giglio is the pastor of Passion City Church, located in Atlanta, Georgia. He is also a public speaker, a renown author, and the founder of the Passion Movement. D Title: WINSOME Rating: Starring: Louie Giglio Genre: (and us at home). One thing I did notice was that that crowd was nary focused on, something I would have liked to have seen as cutaways to an audience’s reaction sometimes help drive home a point. First released over a year ago, Winsome is a series of teachings that look at lifestyle evangelism. As Louie Giglio himself describes it… With that said, one does not watch a DVD series like Winsome for the production quality. Don’t get me wrong, the picture and sound are clear. But it’s the teaching and what one can learn from said teaching that makes series’ like this valuable. “Winsome is about seeing our role in the story of God and about seeing people come to know Jesus.” (from session 2) Teaching Running Time: 241 minutes MPAA Rating: Winsome runs at 241 minutes in length and is divided into 5 parts, each running around 50 minutes. And each of the 5 parts are incredibly insightful and encouraging. Not Rated Production Company: Sparrow. Sixstepsrecords, Capitol CMG The title may seem a little strange… Winsome. That is until you realize that the title when broken down as Giglio intended makes total sense… Win Some! Reviewed by: Christian St John Release Date: Out Now : DVD 24 > CHRISTIAN REVIEW MAGAZINE The production of the Winsome series / sessions is pretty basic - Giglio stands on a stage preaching / teaching a live audience Louie Giglio is a great preacher / teacher. He is easy to listen to and his delivery is very conversational in tone. Furthermore, he makes some great points throughout, and everyone who watches this series will no doubt come away having learned something of worthwhile, hopefully with a renewed appreciation of the task / mission all believers have been called to. Given the format of this series, Winsome would be perfect for group settings - study, bible, youth, and church groups. A first class series, Winsome is an excellent resource looking at an age old mandate of the church in a fresh and exciting way. CHRISTIANREVIEW.COM > 27
