St. John in Exile
You will never be the same after your face-to-face encounter with the Apostle John

The life changing testimony of the last of Jesus' twelve

[See what others are saying]

The year is AD 96. Thousands of Christians throughout the Roman Empire have been persecuted and killed. John, the last living apostle of Jesus, has been imprisoned. Although he is 86 years old and confined to a cave on the isle of Patmos, the Spirit inspired writer of Revelation refuses to surrender. John mains full of humor, strong in spirit and obstinately spry. Through his eyes we relive the moving events in which Jesus Christ changed the course of human history.

Featuring DEAN JONES, this unforgettable one-man presentation delivers John's life changing testimony. This is not a motion picture, but a professionally-produced video of a one-man play. Through the masterful work of actor Dean Jones, Saint John of the Bible comes alive like you've never known him before. This inspiring video will touch the hearts of your friends and family forever! Don't miss it.

Emmy award-winning director Dan Curtis ( War and Remembrance ) directs St. John in Exile with great skill and awesome power. The author, Don Berrigan, is credited by the Arizona Republic as "recapturing the roots of theater itself."

"Excellent performance! I know what you're thinking, Herbie the Love Bug, right? Well, here Dean Jones is spectacular. When I first bought this, I was expecting a movie based on the last days of the Apostle John and the making of the book of Revelation. What I got instead was much better."

"This is a masterwork by anyone's standards. From the excellent script, filled with laugh-out-loud humor to the deepest passion; to the technical production and direction, this is absolutely riveting. It's difficult to find the words to describe Dean Jones' performance. It's inspired, passionate, controlled, shocking at times, and shows unsurpassed craftsmanship and artistry. Christians will view it and doubtless take away the deepest feelings and inner thoughts. And anyone else who sees it cannot help but be deeply impressed and transported by the sheer power of this production. It is simply wonderful."

"The performance by Dean Jones in this 90 minute monologue is such that he will have you laughing at pulling locust legs from his teeth one moment and only a minute later in tears reliving the martyrdom of the apostles. Everyone I have shown it to has said nearly the same thing when they first realized they were going to watch one actor speak for 90 minutes "This is boring" and within 5 minutes they are glued to the presentation and in need of the intermission just because of the emotional depths they have traversed."

"Why didn't I hear of this before? As so many others have written, I was at first a reluctant viewer of this video. Now, I'm an enthusiastic reviewer of it--both in the sense of writing this, and in seeing the show again! As a pastor, I'm always a little nervous when people put things on my desk and say, "You HAVE to see this!" So this tape sat there for 2 months before I finally decided I'd better watch. I've been kicking myself for 3 days now for having waited so long! I'm impressed with the script's accuracy, even if it plays a little fast and loose with Biblical quotes. But even more, I'm impressed with Dean Jones. As someone who knew him only from Disney films and the like, I'm overwhelmed with his technical ability on the stage--and even a little jealous of his songwriting ability! Above all else, I'm impressed with the fact that Jones produced this himself. To me, that speaks as strongly as his acting about the integrity of the message he gives: of the life, death and resurrection of Jesus; and of the faith, faltering and failings of the disciples, including himself (well, including John...oh, you know what I mean!). I highly recommend this tape for any church's video library, and am glad we have it in ours."

"ABSOLUTLEY OUTSTANDING...A MUST SEE! Dean Jones' portrayal of Jesus' disciple John as an old man in exile, is extremely well done. Not only that, I would say it was one of the best performances I have ever seen. I always enjoyed Mr. Jones' acting and the movies he has made, so when I saw him interviewed prior to the film being shown on TV, I thought, "Well, I'll see a little bit of it and then go to bed." But 90 minutes later, I knew I had to get a copy for myself, for my son, and for my parents. After watching it once again, I loaned it to a friend and she wants to borrow it again to show her Sunday school class. It is now on loan to a man in my office...and all of this in just 2 weeks. I wish there was some way of saying Thank You to Mr. Jones and the company who put it together, but I guess I will just have to tell others.. BUY THIS VIDEO...SHARE THIS VIDEO...IT IS TREMENDOUS. God bless you, Mr. Jones."
