Synopsis:
An adaptation of Joseph Bayly's influential 1960 novel THE GOSPEL BLIMP, which tells of an evangelization outreach gone awry. Instead of simply sharing Christ's love personally with people, a group of believers wanting to witness on a big scale purchase a blimp similar to Goodyear's and emblazon its sides with Bible verses. They later add a PA system and begin dumping tracts all over the town. When the group hires a slick public relations man, things really descend into a caricature of what Christian evangelizations should be. A message as timely today as it was then.
