Filming God recounts the three-year journey of filmmaker Darren Wilson as he travels around the world, seeing for himself the supernatural realm of God with his own eyes, and meeting humble, loving people who walk in the supernatural on an everyday basis. Darren Wilson was a self-described skeptic about the supernatural before he had his own life-changing, miraculous encounter with the Lord. That experience led him to film Finger of God, through which he encountered incredible stories about modern-day believers receiving gold teeth, hanging out with Jesus, resurrections, supernatural healings, and much, much more. A funny thing tends to happen when you hand your life over to God, no questions asked. He takes what you thought you wanted and shows you something better something so much infinitely better that you can only marvel at how simple-minded your past dreams were, Darren writes, thinking back on his journey while Filming God. In these exciting and compelling stories, you will quickly realize that Jesus is alive and working today in peoples lives no matter your religious background. You may be forced to examine your own faith in light of what is possible on a day to day basis.

EndorsementsThe Bible is filled with challenging paradoxes, like in Psalm 2:11, rejoice with trembling. Fear and joy dont fit together too well in my thinking. But apparently they do with God. And that is how I see Filming God. I dont remember the last time I had so much fun reading a manuscript, while at the same time being so challenged about my own life. As I write this endorsement, my heart is filled with both joy and sober mindedness. Strangely, they go well together. Darren Wilson writes as he talks very honest and upfront, almost raw, yet inviting and extremely insightful. I found myself laughing out loud, saying to my wife, Youve got to hear this, and yet in the next moment, reexamining my own journey with God. I believe this book will be used to influence many to simply trust God beyond reason. It will be the most intelligent thing well ever do. Bill Johnson, Pastor, Bethel Church
I love Darrens story because he is so blatantly honest. The greatest skeptic will believe him as he deals with angels, miracles, and outrageous God exploits. Tighten your seat belt and get ready for an amazing God adventure that will expand your vision of God. Sid Roth, Host, Its Supernatural! Television
Darren Wilsons book, Filming God, is outstanding. What I love most about both Darren and this book, is that both represents realness. Filming God will stir you and help you to believe that the Lord can do anything through you if you simply yield to His purposes. Darren paints a beautiful, clear picture of his journey into filming Gods stories and I love his humor too. Patricia King, www.XPmedia.com
I just finished reading Darren Wilsons Filming God. Darrens story was captivating. It is an easy read, but dont let the simplicity of his style of storytelling fool you. He has also dealt with heavy theological issues in this book. It is an exciting read because Darren invites you in to see and understand how he, a self-acclaimed skeptic, becomes the director of two full length films that display the miraculous power of God, The Finger of God; and the great love of God, Furious Love. I recommend you buy and read this book and then give it to your friends to read. I plan on having it in our bookstore and available at our schools throughout the world. Filming God is an amazing book about an amazing God who has made normal people into amazing people. In the midst of the storytelling are insights into the amazing peoples lives and the cost of having divine Spirit empower human flesh. Randy Clark, www.randyclarkministries.org
