As of January, 2016, this movie has grossed $67.8 million; production costs were only $3.5 million.
I found the film, by Alex and Stephen Kendrick, to be very inspiring and thought-provoking. It's the only movie that has made me laugh out loud and cry in the same minute!
What goes in a war
room? Ammo? Fatigues?
Guns? What emerges--
a soldier prepared
to fight enemies?
Miss Clara's war
room, a closet,
has a Bible.
She reads, kneels, prays,
and comes out
a warrior
fit to help
others
fight their
wars,
those
battles
with self
and others
that often
cause them to
scream, grieve, cry, hate,
throw up their hands,
or scratch their heads.
Old Miss Clara
encourages them
to retreat to their
own war rooms to make
them fit for battles
that are sure to come.
