Film Review: Southern Gospel Plus $10 Amazon Giftcard Giveaway

Southern Gospel is a powerful movie inspired by actual events, now playing in theaters. It is based on the true story of Samuel and Julie Allen, who founded Dream Church in Florida in 1986. The film starts with a young Samuel in a strict Sunday School class and his father, Joe Allen, the church's pastor in Alabama in 1964, who does not always follow the church's man-made rules. After a teenage Samuel gets unjustly blamed for a tragedy, he walks away from Christianity, joins a secular rock-and roll band, and lives the prodigal son's wasteful lifestyle of worldly pleasures. When he hits rock bottom, God's grace is there to pick him up and turn his life around. Samuel becomes a pastor just like his father, but not without opposition and challenges. He is determined to follow his dream about telling others how they can find hope and forgiveness in the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Southern Gospel contrasts God's immeasurable love and inexhaustible grace with legalism and hypocrisy. It's rough, raw, and inspiring faith-based film about redemption, brokenness, second chances, and forgiveness. This film really touched me; I was sobbing, feeling overwhelmed by God's amazing love, grace, and mercy. I was impressed with the cast's performance (starring Max Ehrich, Katelyn Nacon, Emma Myers, Gary Weeks, and J. Alphonse Nicholson), the script, and the cinematography. I also enjoyed the music. I encourage you to go get tickets to Southern Gospel today and embrace the incredible beauty of the gospel. Bring tissues.

Southern Gospel is rated PG-13 for mature thematic content, drug use, some violence, suicide, and language.  

Love this quote from the movie, "A person may not touch a bottle of whiskey, yet they walk around drunk on their own pride."

GIVEAWAY: Please share in the comment one of your favorite faith-based films. Please include your full name and email address. A winner will be randomly selected to win a $10 Amazon gift card. The giveaway is limited to U.S. winners only.
Deadline: March 19th (Sunday) at 5 pm Pacific time

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...
