- The decision of the boy who had been kidnapped to return to his "real family" is powerful . Issues of free choice versus coercian are strong here and have some application to some of our methods of evangelism versus God's love which is great enough and unselfish enough to give us free choice.

- The scene where the mother realizes her toddler is gone and begins a frantic, all-out search is a great clip to connect with Luke 15 type things... The all out search is emotional, gripping, and one people easily identify with. (Martha Johannides, Quest Community Church, Lexington KY)
