action
Ben Walker decided 15 years ago to leave his great college love Wendy - and ultimately to deny his faith - in order to pursue a profitable career as a businessman. Instead of a PhD in Theology (DTh) and a minor in Biblical Archeology , he graduated from Harvard Business School as top of his class.
In this way, Ben became the boss of his own company and a financial genius. Just as he had proposed marriage to his beautiful but materialistic-minded fiancée and bought an expensive car, the brand-new vehicle broke down on the way to the airport. The gruff mechanic appears like an angel, telling him that he would have to see what would have become of his life if he had followed God's call 15 years ago. Suddenly Ben finds himself in a different reality, where he is married to Wendy and has two daughters: the rebellious teenager Kimberly and his little sister Megan. It is Sunday morning when his family is getting ready to go to church and where he is to give his inaugural sermon as the new pastor of the congregation. The mechanic “angel” explains to Ben that God is giving him this experience to show him what would have happened if he had followed the other call.
If Ben wants to go back to his old life, he must first learn the value of family and faith, and perhaps rediscover the love of his life.
