Another Movie

Some good friends of ours were able to be a part of a movie last summer (and one of them was the lead actress!). It's called COME WHAT MAY, made mostly by students from a new Christian film company, Advent Film Group. The movie is about purity, the sanctity of life, and the importance of doing what's right...come what may.

This movie is being released to DVD nationwide on March 17th by Provident Films, the same company that distributed FACING THE GIANTS and FIREPROOF.

You can watch the trailer here and see a review of the movie here.

I would encourage all of you to buy a copy of this movie when it is released on March 17th. It has a great message!

Must See Movie

My daughter and sons saw this movie when it came out in the theaters and they came home saying it was good. I just saw it a few weeks ago after Molly bought the DVD, and I agree that it is good. In fact I recommend that everyone should see it. Kirk Cameron does a great job as the husband, as well as the other actresses and actors. It has a good story line and gives hope for broken marriages or gives suggestions for keeping healthy marriages strong. Go rent it or borrow it from a friend; it is worth it! Check out the trailer:

We are Marshall

This is an inspiring story based on true events. It takes place in 1971, and Marshall university in Hunniton, West Virgina is at the top in football. Their team is doing well and everything looks promising untill tragedy strikes and the plane carrying the team, coaching staff, and even the athletic director crashes. None survive the crash. Four teammates and the assitant coach were not on the plane though and as the town begins to heal from this tragedy thoughts turn to the next season. Some think that they should wait and not try to put together a new team; but Nate Ruffin, one of the remaining players, will not stand for it. He rallies the school behind him and soon they are looking for a coach.

Meanwhile, in the little town of Wooster, West Virgina lives Jack Lyngiel. After hearing about the crash and the open coaching position he gives the University president, Don Dedmond a call. He says he is interested in helping them out and filling the head coach position. There are mixed feelings as Jack and his family move to Hunnington and take over the football program.

A lot of the lessons from We are Marshall can be summarized in one-liners: Perseverence, Courage, Hope, and Faith. There is one more lesson though, and that is the lesson of winning. Jack teaches the hurting people of Hunnington that winning is not as important as going out there and playing. He brings hope and gives encouragement to all. When you are done watching We are Marshall you are left with amazement and the wonder that this was a true story.

We Are Marshall!

The Last Sin Eater

This past Friday night we watched The Last Sin Eater. The movie is an emotional and beautiful story about the journey of a village of mountain people to faith. It's all centered around two people: Cadie Forbes and the Sin Eater.

Cadie is a ten-year-old girl searching for answers. She is torn up with guilt about her sins (one in particular) and hopes to be rid of them. Her search leads her to the Sin Eater.

The Sin Eater: This villiage of mountain people have a custom that after someone dies the "Sin Eater" comes and "takes away the deceased persons sins." For the whole movie the Sin Eater is covered in black and isn't unveiled till the end. We soon find out that the Sin Eater isn't a happy person though. He has resigned himself to a life of seclusion and mortification and he firmly believes God chose him for this.

This movie is a wonderfully inspiring story and I highly recommend it. This movie is rated pg-13 and that should be taken seriously. This movie is not for children; however, older kids and teens should really enjoy this film about the power of God.
