LOS ANGELES (WordNews.org) Dec. 11, 2012  — More than 100,000 have viewed the online film “Genius” about the late music legend John Lennon.

The film went live on Dec. 8, marking the 32 anniversary of the ex-Beatle’s death at the hand of Mark David Chapman.

It was produced by Ray Comfort, founder, president and CEO of Living Waters Publications.

“This is exceptional because this isn’t a two-minute clip of grandma’s hair catching on fire,” Comfort said. “It’s a 34-minute commitment. “But it’s so fascinating and fast-moving viewers can’t look away.”

The movie was produced as a companion to Comfort’s new book by Comfort, “The Beatles, God, and the Bible (published by World Net Daily).”  It can be freely viewed on GeniusTheMovie.com.

“This generation doesn’t go to the conventional sources for news and information,” Comfort said. “They are engrossed in their own world of social media–texting, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, etc., and if we want to reach them with the message of everlasting life we have to enter their world. That’s what we have done with this movie.”

Comfort said the film is reaching a culture with the gospel through an effective medium; using a fascinating subject–the Beatles, who have crossed generations, selling more than 2.3 billion albums.”

He is trying to convince Christians that the movie has incredible potential to reach a lost world and is urging people to “like” the film on Facebook, Twitter and help spread the word.

Author John Piper retweeted Comfort’s message four times in four days.

“In the past, missionaries have traveled to far countries with the message of the gospel — with great hardship and often with the loss of life,” Comfort said. “In contrast, we can reach millions instantly from the comfort of our homes by merely hitting the ‘send’ button on our computers, or with iPads, or phones. Romans chapter 10:15 asks, ‘How shall they preach unless they are sent?’ In this case ‘Genius’ can be the preacher and it can be ‘sent’ all over the world through this amazing medium.”
