Jeff and Heather grew up together, married in their early twenties, and had a son named Ethan shortly thereafter. Just after Ethan's birth, however, Heather sank into a deep depression. When Heather abandoned her family, Jeff struggled to raise Ethan on his own. Ten years later, Jeff is about to propose to his new girlfriend, Katie, when Ethan attends a church camp where Heather is a counselor. Will this broken family have a long-belated reunion and live happily ever after? Perhaps if Jeff can accept that it's all part of God's plan, there's still hope for the Bakers after all. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Critic Reviews

Trevor Johnston, Time Out
No Greater Love knows what spirituality looks like but, pleasantly calming though it is, can't really take us inside.
-
Xan Brooks, Guardian [UK]
Whyte is not here to pry or probe too deeply. He simply records the day-to-day routine of these cloistered inhabitants.
-
Sukhdev Sandhu, Daily Telegraph
Falls between the fly-on-the-wall probing of a Molly Dineen documentary and the more transcendental approach of Into Great Silence, Philip Gröning's portrait of the Grande Chartreuse monastery in the Swiss Alps.
-
David Parkinson, Radio Times
Having spent a decade preparing the project, Whyte captures the humanity of the nuns, whether they are doing their chores, shopping online for groceries, playing ceilidh music or singing sublimely in the chapel.
-
David Parkinson, Empire Magazine
The sisters' insights into a life of seclusion, contemplation and intercession are courageous and compelling, while the revelations about self-discovery, doubt and divine consolation are laudably frank and deeply moving.
