평가 및 리뷰

Turnaround Jake provides viewers with a story that loosely resembles the Prodigal Son parable of the Bible. The main protagonist Jake becomes highly successful and wealthy. His status appears to be growing, until a past decision leaves him at a dead end. Jake''s former life and those he knew best, including his ex-girlfriend Jessica all return to shape his character into a man of God that accepts life's consequences and becomes even greater than before. God never turns away from us, but rather, the opposite is true. Sit back and watch how the mighty fall, then rise again by God's grace! If only we are willing.....
