About the film
God Is Good — the motion picture
God Is Good is an award-winning faith drama that brings Margaret Liu Collins' true story to the screen — a sweeping, cinematic portrait of a woman who walks through heartbreak, abuse, and shame, and emerges into light, purpose, and unshakable faith.
Filmed with tenderness and honesty, the movie invites audiences into the quiet moments where God meets us — in a mother's prayer, a child's embrace, a city street at sunrise. Viewers have described the film as moving, healing, and deeply personal.
"A story of restoration that reminds us God is still good — even when life is not."
Awards & Recognition
About the book
A true story of faith, courage & God's faithfulness
Born in China during the mid-century war years, Margaret Liu Collins was a female child of her era and her culture, taught to be obedient and not to bring shame to her family. While she accepted Christ into her heart at age thirteen, it was when she found herself in an abusive marriage that she learned to call on God's power through prayer — and from that time forward she learned that hers was not a god who wanted her to suffer, but wanted her to prosper financially, emotionally, and spiritually. This story is a memoir of her discovery of God's immutable power and love for His children, seasoned with scripture and the teachings of biblical scholars. Hers is not a Heavenly Father who is punishing and vengeful. Through her life and spiritual seeking, Collins has discovered without question that God is Good.
