Can't Put T.D. Jakes into One Category: Pastor, Preacher, Minister, Novelist, Author and Now Filmmaker of Not "Easily Broken" Movie

Rev. T.D. Jakes has a new title. He is a filmmaker. His new movie is based on his novel by the same name. Not Easily Broken is a movie made from a male's viewpoint. It is a twist on the romance novel usually written by women for women. In an interview given to the San Francisco Chronicles, the famed minister of Potter House, Dallas, talks about his multi-dimensional aspect. Not content to preach to his 50,000 strong church members, he is now ready to reach a wider audience with this movie. He wrote the script himself.

Rev. T.D. Jakes wants wants to be philanthropist and businessperson. He wants to make money so he can help the poor. If that is the case, it is a good mission.

The movie embraces the human experience. It is the human story. He also talks about the need to have some strong black people as role models. He complains about how the media usually take the easy route such as drug dealers and the examples of black people doing the wrong thing. Among some of the examples he gave, he named Colin Powell, Sidney Poitier and President elect Barack Obama.

Not Easily Broken is a good movie to see.
