DVD Review and Giveaway: Captive




















Captive is based on a powerful true story that changed the life of Ashley Smith
(played by Kate Mara) forever. On March 12, 2005, Brian Nichols (played by David
 Oyelowo), an escaped convict who already killed 4 people, held Ashley hostage
in her own apartment for 7 hours. Ashley, a widowed mother who's a meth addict,
lost custody of her daughter, Paige. When faced with the life & death situation as
a captive, Ashley, by the grace of God, ironically broke free from her drug addiction
that kept her captive for years. Unexpected miracles unfolded as hours ticked away.
When she read The Purpose Driven Life out loud, God softened Brian's heart and
made him think about his life's purpose. Brian thought of his newborn son.
Difficult decisions had to be made.

I really enjoyed this gripping film from beginning to end. Excellent performances!
Two broken people encountered one amazing God! This is a remarkable story of
redemption, faith, hope, transformation, choices, and purpose. Nobody is beyond
God's saving grace! I highly recommend this DVD!

    Island of the Blue Dolphins. I read this in middle school and whenever I feel down about my life I think of this book and what this girl had to overcome.

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...
