DVD Review: Ashes of Eden

Ashes of Eden is a crime drama about 18-year old Red who struggles in his
relationship with his police-officer mom and suffers from the consequences
of his wrong choices and troubled past. When he steals drugs and sells them
in order to help his mom pay the mortgage, he becomes a wanted man hunted
by both the police and drug dealers. People are getting killed. His desperate
mom turns to God for help. I like the fact that the movie deals head on with
real life issues facing today's families, without sugar-coating. Don't expect
Hollywood's quality regarding film production, acting, and script writing.
However, don't miss the important message and lessons you can get out of
this film. It covers drug addiction, family, peer pressure, choices & consequences, faith, and redemption. Some of the lessons include: Bad company corrupts character; No one is beyond God's grace and forgiveness; and No one can serve two masters (we must choose whether we will serve God or the things of the world). It has good music and the cast did a good job. Ashes of Eden DVD can be a great tool for parents, youth pastors, and those who work with youth to use for discussion with teens.

The DVD is not rated but I think it should be rated at least PG-13 because of
violence, sexual content, alcohol, and drugs.

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
