I thoroughly loved this movie. I myself was a part of at least the time of the Jesus movement, because at the age of 16 1971, I had practiced taking LSD for several years from 8th grade on, and often taking very large doses, up to a couple dozen at a time. I came to a place where extreme jitters were in my soul and couldn't rest. Then, reading the red letters of Jesus words caused perfect peace to settle my soul. And I became a Jesus freak for about a year , then subtly back slid. But that's another story of how I became totally dedicated to follow in 1982 at age 26. This movie brings back lots of memories, and causes lots of emotions. It's a good thing to examine our past and reflect on it for a better future. That's one thing this movie helps, and it reminds all of us to love and not condemn or wrongfully judge others because of differences of looks or beliefs. Everyone is on and in their own life of how God deals with each of us, but love is the greatest.

I had the honor of meeting Elmer and Dixie when I lived in Tulsa, from 1987 till 1995. It was great sitting in his living room on Nogales Ave , listening to his stories. his book tells the truth . Not anything like Hollywood lies. His book reveals things so magnificent some may find hard to believe. Being a spiritual person myself, who has experienced the grace and power of God, I could tell he was telling the truth, also because he was a very honest person. The only thing I did not like, was the book mentioned the n word. I have been a human rights activist all my adult life, but I knew, he was from an older generation, where that term wasn't intended derogatively, it's no excuse in my mind, but I do understand. anyhow, this book will either blow your mind or open your mind to things that can happen when the Lord is in control of your life. Actually, if I had made mention to Elmer about that one thing, I'm sure he would have changed it, because he was responsive to my input on things, so much so, that I had to watch how I put things. He is no longer on this earth but with our Lord in heaven, but I recommend the Rebel Prophet to anyone genuinely wanting to know the truth about Pretty Boy Floyd gang or spiritual things not regularly told in church circles
