Movie Review: God's Not Dead: We The People

I've seen God's Not Dead (the first one in the series) and loved it. I have not seen the second and the third ones. I'm thankful for the opportunity to review God's Not Dead: We The People (the fourth movie). It's about a group of Christian homeschooling families led by their pastor, Reverend David, standing up for their right and freedom to educate their own children as they see fit. They go to Washington DC to testify in a crucial congressional hearing. Religious freedom in our country is continually being challenged and threatened. I homeschooled my three children for 20 years (from the very beginning to their high school graduation). Therefore, this movie resonates with me. It is also a timely film since the government has recently been imposing more restrictions and mandates which take away our freedom more and more. I enjoyed the movie and I cried. Great performance by the cast. The movie is not just about homeschooling; it's about freedom, faith, relationship, diversity, and apologetics. God's Not Dead: We The People is inspired by the real legal cases where Americans were challenged for living out their fundamental rights to religious freedom and to the upbringing of their children. I highly recommend this movie to all homeschooling families and all who truly care about freedom in our nation. God's Not Dead: We The People is releasing in theaters on October 4th. Rated PG.

A few fun facts:

-Christian singer Francesca Battistelli is one of the lead characters in the film, and she plays a Christian woman who homeschools her children. Francesca homeschools her children in real life.

-Some of the original God's Not Dead movie characters are back in this film.

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...
