DVD Review: Rumors of Wars

"You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come." Matthew 24:6

Rumors of Wars is an intense end-times film with two converging story-lines, one from the past and one from the future. A college student, Roxy (Jennifer Cooper), investigates end time prophecies and records her discoveries in her diary. Years later, her diary is found and falls into the hands of Shaw (Ben Davies) who is an agent in the New World Alliance. He works for the One World government and hunts down rebels while trying to find more recruits. He believes that religions breed wars and that the rebels who put their faith in God would lead the world back to destruction and thus they need to be eliminated. But when he starts reading Roxy's diary, he has to confront the lies he has been told and decide what to do with the truth. Roxy's life is in danger when she refuses to receive an implanted chip which tracks people's movements and purchases. She begins to look into Zurn Global (the company behind the implanted chip) and its founder, Mr. Zurn (Eric Roberts). I found this film quite interesting, attention-grabbing, entertaining, and thought-provoking. Great performance from the cast! I really like the Discussion Guide based on Roxy's diary (one of the special features on the DVD). Fear, temptation, sacrifice, forgiveness, pride, suffering. Rumors of Wars will make you think and face the ultimate question regarding whom you will worship and follow to the very end of the age because "in the end, we all worship something." Check this faith-filled movie out! Rated PG-13 for violence.

DVD Review and Giveaway: A Mile in His Shoes

A Mile in His Shoes is a family-friendly movie (PG) about a young man diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome (a form of autism) and how his God-given talent (his amazing throwing ability) helps him and others. It's about overcoming challenges in life. It is based on the book "The Legend of Mickey Tussler" (a true story). It's directed by William Dear, the director of "Angels In the Outfield." It stars Dean Cain who plays Arthur Murphy, a baseball coach and Luke Schroder who plays Mickey, the main character. Excellent performances! My family and I enjoyed this movie. It spoke to my heart deeply because one of my kids has symptoms that are similar to Asperger's Syndrome but the doctors diagnosed him with anxiety disorder, instead. My son is very athletic and great with numbers like Mickey. He is also sensitive to noise and crowds like Mickey. When Coach Murphy sees Mickey (a farmer boy) throw apples at a bucket for his pigs, he knows that he has just fo...

Book Review: Immeasurably More: 100 Devotions on God's Extravagant Grace by Deb Burma

I was excited to review this devotional book for 3 reasons: 1. I collect devotional books, 2. I'm a big fan of God's grace, and 3. The theme of our church's women retreat this year (this weekend) is Ephesians 3: 20-21, " Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be glory ." which is also the theme for this book. Immeasurably More is a beautiful and meaningful devotional journal. It has 100 devotions organized into 10 different topics (grace, love, power, provision, purpose, peace, joy, gifts, rest, and life). Each devotion starts with Scriptures and ends with journaling and prayer prompts. This journal can be used individually or in a group study. I have been blessed and refreshed by God's wondrous truths and Godly insights found in this book. These encouraging, inspiring devotions invite readers to bask in God's goodness and to experience His never-ending, jaw-drop...
