Product Description

Product Description

Stranded in the middle of nowhere, five strangers find themselves marooned in a deserted roadside diner. An arrogant businessman, (Steve "Sting" Borden), a lonely single woman, (Jaci Velasquez), a couple on the verge of divorce, and a youthful runaway all come face to face with a diner owner who serves them more than temporal nourishment. This genial host is a certain Nazarene, (Bruce Marchiano) who knows all of their secrets and possesses the answers to all of their problems if only they would trust him. It is a miraculous Encounter that will leave them all changed.

The Encounter is an inspirational and intriguing faith-filled family drama about 5 people who are brought faced to face with Jesus and encouraged to examine the true condition of their lives.

Dove Family Approved, awarded 4 out of 5 Doves and recommended for ages 12 and over.

A good Christian movie
5 Stars
A good Christian movie
The movie arrived in the time promised. It was shrink-wrapped and the DVD was in new condition. I purchased this to donate to my church's library as I have seen this movie more times than I can count but I can't wait to see it again. It is amazing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well done, touching, deals with hard issues
Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2012

The movie has lots of scripture in it, and a good gospel presentation.

2 Peter 3:9
He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.

Romans 1:16
I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes

The following information is an other good way to present the gospel, because it brings the knowledge of sin, through God's law. God's law shows us our desperate need for salvation and forgiveness from the Saviour

Please read the following questions carefully, be honest and listen to your conscience. Would you consider yourself to be a good person? The Bible declares, most men will proclaim their own goodness. Let's see if you qualify as being a good person. Have you ever told a lie? Have you ever stolen anything, irrespective of its value? Have you ever used God's name to curse? Jesus said, I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart?

Have you ever looked at someone with lust? The Bible says that if someone hates another person they are a murderer (I John 3:15). Have you ever hated anyone? If you have answered, Yes, to the previous questions, then you have admitted that you are a liar, a thief, a blasphemer, an adulterer and a murderer and we've only looked at 4 of the 10 Commandments. If God were to judge you by this standard would you be innocent or guilty? You know you are guilty and deserving of an eternity in Hell.

Jesus Christ came to earth and died a criminal's death not because He had broken the Law, but because we had. God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. What should you do? Repent, turn from your sins & put your complete faith in Jesus Christ as your Savoir and Lord. You may die today, in your sin. Is there any reason why you would not accept God's gift? More info at living waters website with true & false conversion audio sermon. God Bless!

When we look at a building we know their is a Builder,
When we look at a painting we know their is a Painter,
When we look at creation we know there is a Creator
We know there is moral law, and we know there is a moral law giver
The creation proves that there is a Creator. Nothing did not create everything.

Dr. Simon Greenleaf: Professor of Law at Harvard University, produced, A Treatise on the Law of Evidence, which still is considered one of the greatest single authorities on this subject of legal procedure. He applied the principles contained in this book and came to the conclusion that, according to the laws of legal evidence used in courts of law, there is more evidence for the historical fact of the resurrection of Jesus Christ than for just about any other event in history.

His findings were recorded in his book, An Examination of the Testimony of the Four Evangelist by the Rules of Evidence Administered in the Courts of Justice.

4.0 out of 5 stars Thought Provoking
Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2012
Verified Purchase
I really enjoyed the film. very thought provoking, and i do feel God spoke to me through the film. it definitely made me think.

my only criticism of the film, and the reason i gave it 4, instead of 5 stars, is i think it will rub some people the wrong way. some will just hear 'YOU MUST REPENT' and will automatically be turned off by the film. IMO, this kind of tactic doesnt work in sermons (its why i have a hard time attending church), it doesnt work outside a mainstream rock concert, at universities, at gaming conventions like blizzcon, etc. all it does is turn people away from God.

we are not perfect. just because we accept Christ into our hearts does NOT automatically mean we are going to stop sinning. God knows this. its the reason Christ died on the cross. He died for our sins.

In my opinion, what Christ wants from us, is to 1, accept Him into our hearts, 2 hear His call when He beckons, and 3, be honest with ourselves. understand that nobody is perfect, accept people of ALL walks of life for who and what they are, and realize that we are going to make mistakes.

again though, there are some great messages in the film, and i do recommend it. however, because of what i said above, id have a hard time wanting to show this to an atheist/agnostic.

Not enough stars to rate this movie!!! WOW! It is one of the most favorite in my movie library! EVERYBODY should have this and buy extras for phenomenal gift giving! Great story line, superb acting, and introspective. On the scale of 1-10: +50! Each actor played their part so well, but Bruce Marciano really played the part of Jesus with finesse, expertise, grace, and warmth and charisma. He didn't pull any punches and he didn't back down! If you don't have it already, PLEASE get it today! What a wonderful witnessing tool, as well as a healing tool for Christians who may still have some raw spots in their lives. Can't say enough good about this one! Definitely anointed and meant for today's audience!

5.0 out of 5 stars Interesting
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 18, 2015

I watched this because my daughter mentioned that she had watched it on the telly. I was not disappointed by it and I would love to visit a café where the Lord Jesus was chef for the evening, I'd order egg n chips and I know they would be even better than what my lovely old Nanny Nora would make. To sum up a few people travelling a road that is blocked end up in a café and the chef turns out to be the Lord Jesus, He cooks for them and reveals deep truths concerning their lives offering advice. Some take it and some don't. The chappy who plays Jesus is very impressive and I'm sure he has done it before in a film called 'The Road To Emmaus'. A decent Christian film, it seems Christian films are improving. May I also recommend 'The Secrets of Jonathan Sperry'.
