A brutally and beautifully honest life story. Hearing the old songs from "back in the day" was wonderful. The Taff family shared with us the redemptive work of a God who always loves His children . Russ and Tori have two beautiful daughters. May Russ continue to be an overcomer by the Blood of the Lamb and the Word of his testimony. James & Sherry Marshall ~ Miami, Florida

I’m so glad Russ and Tori were willing to be vulnerable in sharing their heartbreak, pain and healing . Everyone should see this.

This is a story of a man’s and his family’s real battle with suppressed hurt and anger. We rarely see the internal pain that many people deal with, talented and gifted though they might be. There is grace, forgiveness, and healing that came come through the deepest trials of life, and this movie tells that story of redemption. Must see!

I have loved his music since the early 80's and his songs have ministered to me. Now hearing this story makes him seem so much more human and flawed like me. Thank you for sharing.

So good to understand where his lyrics came from. His music got me through the darkest days...if he only knew.

This is a life story narratated by Russ, Tori and other interviews. Different from other movies, where scenes are acted, this story uses real interviews and actual footage from past events. It’s a raw look at Russ behind the mask of a stage or public persona. Russ reveals a man genuinely broken, healed and freed through the redemption of Christ. It moves a bit slow at times but still a gripping story and testimony. Just as Russ’s music touched thousands, so too can his personal story. The words of his song still ring true—“The chain that seem to bind you serve only to remind you that they drop powerless behind you...” God still works through imperfect people with scars. .

A real life story of a true legend’s struggle with abuse and the affect it creates with self-worth and suppressing the hurt and shame.

I went expecting a nostalgic musical retrospective. Instead I saw Amazing Grace at work in the life of one of my childhood heroes. It was encouraging and inspiring. Definitely two hours well spent.

Proves that God uses flawed people to accomplish His purposes. Millions inspired by Russ Taff's ministry while he was battling his own demons.

I had many favorite parts in this movie but the part that touched me the most was how the Christian community (that knew the truth) came around Russ Taff with prayer and love, without judgement. They realized their brother was in pain and rose up to support and help him the best way they knew how. And that was by not contributing to a tabloid headline! This is a real story of the power of love and forgiveness and one man's journey through depression and addiction. Climaxing to the truth and realization that Christ was with him every step of the way and never stopped loving him. Thank you Russ for being vulnerable and sharing your story. Love never fails. John 13:34-35

Heartbreaking to learn that the kind, fun, loving man I worked with during those years was so engulfed in pain. . . the ultimate love story--Russ, Tori, their family--only the God of Creation through His Son could set them free!!! Praise God Russ is finally free!!

Wonderful story of pain and restoration! We need more true life stories of the power of God and His grace in the lives of His children. Very moved by Russ' wife Tori, and her strength and love. Added delight was the interaction and music of Amy Grant and Steven Curtis Chapmen.

It demonstrates that we all live in a broken world. This is not a movie in the sense that the story is acted out - just told. Cannot be compared to "I Can Only Imagine"

God is in the business of using broken people. He does it in the Bible and He is still doing it in Russ Taff's life. His music touched so many lives even when his was broken. May God richly bless this man and his family and all who have been broken by life. It's on our knees where we find God.

Amazing story filled with heartbreak, addiction, pain, and voices of the past that was overcome by the power of God! God does not quit on us. I grew up with the Imperial's/Gaither music and I found myself smiling every time the songs were played. Thank you to the Taff family for sharing your story and the sharing of great music. Hugs

Most of us look at the guys on the stage as “Together”. This true story shows that ALL of us need redemption. All of us need Jesus. The good news is He is there for ALL of us! Beautifully told and inspiring.

Such an honest and brave thing to tell your story warts and all. Surrounded by the body of Christ the way it is supposed to act he found his way back home. Loved seeing so many of my favorite artists sharing their memories of him as well. Highly recommend.

Truly unvarnished story of faith and the upmost redemption. A true love story at it's roots. A man and his faith, a man and the love/loves of his life!! I only wish it had showcased Russ's tremendous singing much more to bring to light what an amazing artist he was and is.

Raw, honest, beautiful, inspiring. Just what the Christian community needs, HONESTY. And love and rallying around a brother when he struggles, not gossiping or beating him up.

Good autobiography however, spent too much time on Taff's addiction to alcohol. I realize that his addiction was a major cross to bear but it would have been more encouraging to the viewers to see how his life changed after his spiritual cleansing.

It must have been so hard for Russ & Tori to tell their story. I believe sharing is part of the healing process. Thank God for His unmerited favor & grace. So many times a smile hides pain & scares, but Christ loves us and sees it all. Thank you Russ and Tori for being brave enough to share your lives with us.
