This is a recently released movie and Dvd about a South African farmer who had no control over his anger syndrome. It was only when he became a born-again Christian by attending his wife's church that he had a new lease of life, enabling him to conquer his demonic anger. Christian life was no picnic in the park and he had to face the disaster of losing his only son in a vehicle accident. He faced other trials too in his daily work of growing crops and potatoes. As he grew in his faith in Christ, he learned to handle himself and his African workers.


He had the unusual habit of reading the Bible sleeping under the tall stems of his crops, and he learned to hear the Lord speaking to him. With the coaching of his pastor, he became an evangelist preaching to whites and blacks. He was led to organise a huge evangelistic campaign using an outdoor stadium which could house tens of thousands. His faith in God was justified and he preached the Gospel to crowds.


There is a final challenging scene where there was no rain for his potatoes for a long season of time, and he had to rely on God to keep the crop going. At harvest time his faith in God saw the miracle of a record harvest of potatoes surviving the drought. Faith is like potatoes: you never know it is there until harvest time.
