Are you a fan of the God's Not Dead film franchise? This is their latest film. God's Not Dead: In God We Trust is so relevant and timely during this election year. Reverend David Hill (David A.R. White) has to grapple with his faith and calling when he is asked to run for Congress. He is not made for politics, but he feels called to make a difference for the betterment of people and country. Unprepared, he cautiously enters the race against state senator Peter Kane (Ray Wise), a seasoned politician and ruthless opponent who is determined to remove religious influence from public policy. With the help of a capable but insecure campaign consultant, Lottie (Samaire Armstrong), Reverend David Hill navigates through the storms of political nastiness, corruption, lies, deceit, and scrutiny with moral courage and Godly principles. Scott Baio (from Happy Days) plays a charming but cunning campaign consultant for state senator Peter Kane. Outstanding cast all around including Isaiah W

According to Worldsleepday.org, 35% of people do not feel they get enough sleep, impacting both their physical and mental health. Are you one of those people who have trouble falling asleep? There are so many things that can keep our heart and mind cluttered, confused, occupied, anxious, and afraid, especially at bedtime when it's all quiet. Sleep is so important for our well-being. This book consists of 50 devotions that aim to help readers sleep better. These devotions will help shift our focus from stress, worry, burdens, problems, pressing situations, things-to-do, etc. to God, His Word and encouraging, comforting truths. The devotions are divided into 4 main sections: Balancing Daily Obligations and Pressures, Confronting Fear and Uncertainty, Navigating Family Concerns, and Trusting God During Difficult Times. They are written by various writers from the Proverbs 31 Ministries Team. One from each section is written by Lysa Terkeurst.  Each devotion begins with a Bible verse a

I've always loved movies based on true stories. The Firing Squad is a must-see film based on a remarkable true story about three criminals who were sentenced to be executed by firing squad in an Indonesian prison camp on April 29, 2015. The film includes some flashbacks to show us the main characters' background stories and events that led up to their imprisonment. As the events unfold and the execution dates approach, we get to witness all sorts of emotions that the characters experience: fear, anxiety, anger, bitterness, denial, trust, peace, love, forgiveness, resolve, etc. Their encounter with the Gospel of Jesus Christ changes their lives for eternity. God's beautiful transformation is evident and cannot be ignored. From darkness to light, from disheartened fear to undeterred faith, from being drug dealers to being devout Christ's followers, from dreadful death to eternal life! I highly recommend this unforgettable movie! Bring tissue. I was so moved by it; I crie

We need to stand up and support Israel. It's time for the protests and media's lies to stop. See real headlines about what's actually going on in the world below, and then sign the petition to end anti-Israel rioting:  • Anti-Israel protester blocks traffic using her baby: This video captures an anti-Israel protester holding her baby while standing in front of a car to block traffic. Another protester can be heard asking for a replacement for the mother, noting her willingness to risk her child’s life. Additionally, another parent with a small child and dog are seen standing in the path of traffic. See video: LINK   • George Washington U grads storm out of graduation ceremony in anti-Israel protest: Dozens of George Washington University graduates walked out of commencement ceremonies on Sunday, disrupting university President Ellen Granberg's speech, in protest over the ongoing war in Gaza and last week's clearing of an on-campus protest encampment that invo

  I love Anne Wilson and her music. I reviewed her first album, My Jesus (2022), and was so excited for this opportunity to review her 2nd album, REBEL (released on April 19). Wow...this girl is on fire for Jesus. I'm so glad to see a young musician being a "rebel" (going against the world's current/culture) for Jesus; she (22) is truly a rare gem among the younger generation. Each song in this album was written under the banner question, 'What does it mean to be a rebel in the world we live in today? ' and given a corresponding tagline and Bible verse. Each song's tagline can be found in the REBEL physical CD or Vinyl packaging booklet. Anne Wilson is definitely a breath of fresh air that I hope will fuel the passion for young & old believers to speak up about their faith & the gospel boldly even when it is unwelcomed and draw unbelievers to desire Jesus & His gift of salvation. Anne Wilson has a non-profit movement and community called Hey

I treasure & delight in God's Word and love studying the Scriptures in depth because I want to know God more and more intimately. I'm happy to add the Encountering God Study Bible (NKJV) to my Bible collection. It is an extensive and impressive work of the Blackaby family. The one I received for review is a beautiful black leathersoft Bible with two ribbon bookmarks (aqua and dark blue). The New King James Version has always been one of my favorites. One reason is that it capitalizes all the nouns and pronouns referring to God/Jesus/the Holy Spirit. I also appreciate red letters (for Jesus' words). The Encountering God Study Bible includes many fantastic features such as Encounter Note (insightful commentaries), Historical Encounter (biographical sketches of figures from church history), Explaining the Faith (theology and apologetics), Character Study, and Word Study. In the front of the Bible, you will find "How to Study the Bible." In the back, you will fi
