DVD Review: When Calls the Heart: Heart of a Hero

When Calls the Heart series is a wonderful romantic adventure drama series inspired by Janette Oke's novel and produced by Michael Landon, Jr. Heart of A Hero is Season 3's 3rd DVD. Even though Hope Valley gives Pastor Frank a second chance, his past still comes to haunt him. The Garrison gang is in town and is determined to recruit Frank to help them with their next robbery. Will Pastor Frank's relationship with Abigail (Lori Loughlin) withstand the turmoil? Bill Avery (Jack Wagner) starts to take interest in Dottie Ramsey (a widow). Lee Coulter has an "accident". Nurse Faith Carter from Union City (who took care of Jack's brother in the last season when she was working in Hamilton and was fond of Jack) comes to treat Lee's foot injury. She loves her job but her controlling fiance (a banker) doesn't seem to care and he makes her choose between him and her passion. Jesse (a young man who used to help Frank in past robbery) has an important decision to make. Which path will he take? Elizabeth (Erin Krakow) receives a special gift from Jack (Daniel Lissing). A new girl from Hamilton has a hard time adjusting to the new school in Hope Valley and she doesn't make it easier when others try to reach out to her. Will the "Kindness Week" assignment in class help? Is her meanness a mask for something much deeper? Henry Gowen's heartless greed rears its ugly head once again when he tries to raise new settlers' rent.

I really enjoyed this DVD. So many things happen but it's entertaining and uplifting. Love. Redemption. Community. Family. Prayer. Kindness. I appreciate all the Biblical values this show presents. I love seeing how residents in Hope Valley stand together to face their fears and troubles. I love the fact that this show is not afraid to acknowledge God and the importance of prayer. When Calls the Heart series is one of the rare shows that the whole family can enjoy together. I highly recommend it!

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...

Book Review: Immeasurably More: 100 Devotions on God's Extravagant Grace by Deb Burma

I was excited to review this devotional book for 3 reasons: 1. I collect devotional books, 2. I'm a big fan of God's grace, and 3. The theme of our church's women retreat this year (this weekend) is Ephesians 3: 20-21, " Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be glory ." which is also the theme for this book. Immeasurably More is a beautiful and meaningful devotional journal. It has 100 devotions organized into 10 different topics (grace, love, power, provision, purpose, peace, joy, gifts, rest, and life). Each devotion starts with Scriptures and ends with journaling and prayer prompts. This journal can be used individually or in a group study. I have been blessed and refreshed by God's wondrous truths and Godly insights found in this book. These encouraging, inspiring devotions invite readers to bask in God's goodness and to experience His never-ending, jaw-drop...
