The Restoration Series: Jonathan's Walk

Prison Fellowship presents The Restoration Series: Jonathan’s Walk, a 5-part documentary film series following Jonathan as he is released on parole to join his wife and kids after 15 years in prison. I watched part of the first episode (see the video below) and was very impressed. The story is powerful and the production is well done. I'm looking forward to watching the rest of the series. The Restoration Series demonstrates how The Academy, a revolutionary in-prison program has helped restore men and women who have been affected by incarceration and combat recidivism (the tendency of a criminal to reoffend).

I really like what it says on their website: "Prison Fellowship believes that every person is made in the image of God, and that no one is beyond His reach. That means there is hope for restoration and healing for prisoners, their families, victims, and all those who have been impacted by crime. Through biblically based programs and a positive community, those who once broke the law can be transformed and mobilized to serve their neighbors, replacing the cycle of crime with a cycle of renewal." Our God is God of hope, healing, restoration, and transformation! I'm so glad and thankful for the wonderful ministries of Prison Fellowship. Do you know anyone who is in prison or used to be in prison? Even if you don't, you may still find this series interesting.

You can go here and sign up to watch all episodes for free.

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...
