Faith Like Potatoes is a 2006 South Africanbiographicaldrama film based on the 1998 book written by Angus Buchan, 'Faith Like Potatoes.' It is written and directed by Regardt van den Bergh, and stars Frank Rautenbach, Jeanne Wilhelm, Hamilton Dhlamini, and Sean Cameron Michael. The film follows Buchan and his family’s move from Zambia to South Africa and chronicles his Christian faith throughout that time.
Plot[edit]
When Angus Buchan, a white Zambian farmer of Scottish origin, emigrates to escape political unrest and worrying land reforms, he looks south for a better life. With nothing more than a trailer in the untamed bush, and help from his Zulu foreman, Simeon Bhengu, the Buchan family struggles to settle in their new homeland. Faced with ever-mounting challenges, hardships and personal turmoil, Buchan quickly spirals down into a life consumed by anger, fear and destruction. Finally, his wife convinces him to attend a local church, where the religious testimony of other farmers influence his decision to give his life to Jesus Christ. His outlook takes a complete turnaround, and supernatural occurrences begin to happen when Angus prays in faith. He begins giving his testimony in different towns, and eventually gathers thousands of people in Kings Park Stadium for a time of unified prayer for the nation and for the land.Traditionally a maize and cattle farmer, Buchan decides to plant potatoes. Scientists had warned the farmers not to plant that season unless they had irrigation. Because of the unprecedented drought, planting potatoes would be a massive risk. Believing he is led by the Lord, he plants potatoes in the dry dust. When harvest time comes, there is a crop of giant potatoes.

The South African crowd stared in stunned silence as Angus Buchan proclaimed to them, 'this year we are going to plant potatoes!' Is he crazy? Despite the crowd's reluctance, Angus Buchan knew about something stronger than the impending El Nino drought--he believed the promises of God. Angus had a faith like potatoes--a 'real, tangible faith that will sustain us every day...more

When I ordered the DVD, all I knew was that it was of a story set in South Africa. My wife Jan and I had served a one-year tour of duty in South Africa, July 2003 to July 2004. We were helping out at a training center for Christian pastors, I as a teacher, Jan as an administrative assistant, the two of us together as student care coordinators.

This is a terribly unChristian movie that promotes the false and heretical 'prosperity gospel' teachings which make God into 'a genie' to satisfy human wishes. The movie starts with a super nasty white guy who treats his African workers like trash. He drags his Christian wife and kids into the middle of nowhere in Africa and sets up on a piece of land. He tries to start up a farm. When his African help make mistakes, his temper goes off and he threatens to kill them again and again. His temper i..more

A great testimony of a humble farmer in south Africa-who does so much more than farming but serves God in many ways. He isn't out to just sow seed in the fields, but also to sow the Word of God in many lives! Many blessings and lessons have been given to Angus as time and again, in the good and bad, He sees God at work. And many souls saved all because he has trusted and obeyed! An incredible testimony of the power and faithfulness of God!
So glad a friend gave me this book to read, even though I had alread seen the movie.
What a journey of faith this man and his family have had as they surrendered all they have and are to God to be used for His Kingdom purposes and to minister to many in South Africa!
Not to mention it gave me a great story to share in my message this Sunday on Unshakeable Faith!

I didn't know until after reading this book that there is controversy surrounding it, the movie based on it, and Buchan's ministry, 'Shalom Ministries'. I had a few qualms while I was reading it, and I still have them, but I'm not sure I would write the whole thing off as some web sources are suggesting.

I watched the movie, and was so amazed that I ordered the book. Angus Buchan is now one of my heroes! He lives BY faith..which is my desire to do. The work he is doing in South Africa is truly inspiring. I'm sure that I will read this again many times..if that tells you anything. Reading his experiences and perspectives, including the conversations he has with God, felt like I was shadowing someone of great faith..and hopefully having a bit of his perspective and way of relating with Deity ru..more

I saw the movie a couple years ago and decided to read the book. Why is it that book and movie pairings often seem to be flat? Loved, loved, loved the movie. Enjoyed the book but felt as if it was missing something. Interesting thing: the book starts with the scene which is the climax of the movie. I guess I thought that the book would come back around to that, but it didn't. It did, however, fill in information about how he came to the Lord, his early faith walk and the expansion of the minist..more

A fantastic book. An absolute testament of faith. Put your faith in the Lord and start taking steps. This book shows the importance of doing what we can do in the faith that God is leading us to wherever it is He wants us to go. I can't get over the faith!
So many examples of 'coincidence' & crazy stuff & unbelievable things happening. I guess you can live in the hope of that 'lucky-ness' or you can live in the faith of Jesus & see the miracles God performs each day. It's a matter of..more

I'll admit I wasn't exactly thrilled at the thought of my life group reading a book about potatoes, but fair play to Angus Buchan, it is an engaging and engrossing book, which I read in virtually one sitting.
An interesting and thought provoking story of obedience to God's calling, although I was a bit put out that things seem to have gone RELATIVELY smoothly for Angus. Sure there were setbacks, but over the course of the story, not that many. Of course, that's not Angus' fault, but it just made..more

My siblings have been begging to watch this movie again. A great story of faith! I would recommend no one under ten (and a mature ten year old) watches this movie, as there is some scenes that might disturb young ones. But for the rest of you, sit back, listen and learn - and don't forget to bring a Kleenex or ten.

Not very well written, more of a rambling conversational style, but you can't help but like the author anyway! It is good to think about various people living out their faith in different ways around the world, and I had never heard from a white farmer in Africa before, so I am glad I read the book for that reason.

This is a straightforward book. If you are looking for literature – don’t read it. If you are looking for profound intellectualism or deep theology - don’t read it. If you are looking for a powerful testimony of God and what he can do in a surrendered life, you will find Faith Like Potatoes powerful, compelling, and perhaps even life changing.

It a very good read indeed - so inspirong! I've seen the movie a long time ago, but i've forgotten so much of it, but the book edition to the film was really an eye-opener for me.
In the book some really good questions came to my attention - i think that i will have to put some time aside and to reflect upon that.

An account of continuous miracles over one man's life--in short, the impossible made possible--this book is a excellent example of what can be achieved by putting God first in your life and relying on him 100% in everything.
Very honest and straight forwardly written by a Angus who loves to tell of his faith just as it is. His story is an encouragement to everyone who wonders if they are too ordinary to attempt something great for God.

Amazing what one man can accomplish in Africa. He ran his life on faith and touched thousands of people. A little difficult to read. Reading it a chapter at a time instead of in one sitting is about right.

I would give this book 100 stars if I could! I watched the movie and knew I had to read it to find out more. I can't wait to check out more books and DVDs by Angus Buchan. He inspires me to a deeper faith.

I love this story on how God changes Angus Buchan's life.
An how HE works with our faith.
I feel really moved on how HE sends rain to the farmers even though it's not seasonal.
And how HE send the African girl back to life.
We really should put our trusts and faith on God.

“Peter Marshall, the great evangelical preacher, once said that we need 'faith like potatoes' - plain, simple, real faith that will sustain us in our everyday lives. Whenever I pick up a potato I remember those words. That's the kind of faith I want. When we have faith and act on it, God will come through for us, no matter what our circumstances.
