    Too much religion and not enough about the science of addiction and treatment

    Moving and inspiring. Excellent documentary of the real life of Bobbi Jo, an addict and alcoholic and her life purpose to help others. It is a beautiful true account of her life, her recovery and her mission of the Healing House. Watch to see this transformation of individuals and of an entire neighborhood. The film captures the hope, love and faith of what is happening here.

    What an amazing incredible story! It was so inspiring to see the difference that one determined woman could make (with God's help)! It is a great reminder that we should never give up on someone that is battling addiction.

    Powerful in a new way that you haven't seen before. You are brought into this in the most masterful way so you feel like YOU are one of the helpless, homeless, hopeless people Bobbi Jo takes in. Bobbi Jo herself is such a force of quiet, powerful dignity -- so completely honest about her life that you can't help but feel the power of the Spirit come over you while you watch. For example, when telling her story to a new group of homeless, this mid-50s typical Midwestern woman tells how she "listened to the men who had kidnapped me talking about what they would do with my body after they killed me." From that moment on, you can't take your eyes off her and you listen raptly to every word. Then the documentary turns to the hope, love, laughter and friendship that she brings these folks and it lifts you up. I walked away from this a more soulful person and 100% believing in Bobbi Jo.

    This movie is an encouragement to everyone. At first it is about dealing dope and then it transforms into dealing hope! This documentary answers the question what does it look like to forsake everything to follow a new Way of Life. Check it out!
