DVD Review: Catching Faith 2

Catching Faith 2 is the sequel to Catching Faith (2015). It follows the same Taylor Family. Just when Alexa is starting her dream job, she finds out that her son, Beau, lost his professional football career because of an injury and her daughter, Ravyn, gets engaged. Alexa is excited about planning her daughter's wedding but discovering who her daughter's future mother-in-law is throws her a curve ball. In addition, Alexa feels overwhelmed by the responsibility of caring for her mother who has Alzheimer's disease. Alexa struggles with her own issue of pride, jealousy, desire to maintain control and image, and fear of missing out. Nothing is going the way she expected. She eventually learns that there are different seasons of life and that she cannot do everything by herself. She needs help from God and others. We all do. Beau struggles with finding his purpose. His high school football coach comes alongside him and helps him gain a right perspective. Life is filled with many obstacles and heartaches. We need to trust God, rely on Him/His strength, let go of the need to be in control, and be humble enough to ask for help from others when necessary. This encouraging film is about family, faith, friendship, leadership, reconciliation, trials, tragedy, and overcoming challenges. Check it out! Catching Faith 2 is now available on DVD, On Demand, and Digital HD. You can watch the trailer here.

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...
