DVD Review: When Calls the Heart Rules of Engagement

When Calls the Heart--"Rules of Engagement" is the latest DVD (#7) in the When Calls the Heart television series based on the novel "When Calls the Heart" written by Janette Oke. On this DVD, Jack (Daniel Lissing) is back. Unexpectedly, his ex-fiance, Rosemary, shows up in Coal Valley. She's a theater actress and uses her charms to attract people. She especially tries very hard to win Jack over. The relationship between Jack and Elizabeth (Erin Krakow) is tested. Jack has to rebuild Elizabeth's trust in him. Elizabeth receives a teaching offer in the city and has to make a decision. Bill Avery (Jack Wagner), a forensic investigator, comes to investigate the mine explosion that took place six months ago. He is smitten with Abigail (Lori Loughlin) and works closely with her in the investigation. Mr. Gowen (the mine company's owner) is irritated and tries to bribe people in Coal Valley to stand against Abigail by offering to fund the construction of a new church and school. Quite a few new characters are introduced in this episode including Wyatt, a young genius and Judge Jedidiah Black (James Brolin). As usual, I enjoyed watching the DVD and did not want it to end :). Can't wait to find out how the trial goes. When Calls the Heart--Rules of Engagement" is a beautiful story of love, loyalty, friendship, courage, hope, encouragement, truth, and generosity. Check this entertaining & inspiring family DVD out!

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...
