Movie Review and Giveaway: Sound of Freedom

Sound of Freedom is a powerful must-see film based on the true story of Timothy Ballard, a former US government agent who quits his job in order to devote his life to rescuing children from global sex traffickers. The story begins with a parent's worst nightmare. A father in Honduras cannot find his daughter and son when he comes to pick them up from a "talent audition" where he drops them off. Tim saves the boy from traffickers, but his sister is still kept captive. Tim decides to risk his own life journeying deep into the Colombian jungle to free her. Sound of Freedom is such an important and impactful movie that aims to help raise awareness about the prevalence of human trafficking and propel people to fight against this evil. I cannot recommend it enough. Bring tissues. I have to warn you that certain scenes in the movie will be hard to watch even though they try to show its mature and sensitive subject matter in a tasteful and honorable way. This real-life story is truly heart-wrenching. Outstanding performance by the cast. 

Human trafficking is the fastest growing crime worldwide. It is sickening, disgusting, and wicked. It needs to be exposed and extinguished. Did you know that there are more humans trapped in slavery today than any other time in history, including when slavery was legal? Millions are children. Jesus says in Matthew 18:6, "If anyone causes one of these little ones--those who believe in Me--to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea."

Angel Studio's goal for Sound of Freedom is for 2 million people to go watch the film in theaters the week of July 4 to remember the 2 million children who are trafficked every year. #2MillionFor2Million You can find showtimes at https://www.angel.com/tickets/sound-of-freedom. New theaters are added daily. You can also help pay for other people's tickets (pay it forward) here. Please do not let the price of the ticket keep you from going to see this film in the theaters. You can get a free ticket at https://www.angel.com/freetickets. Let Sound of Freedom ring loud and clear this Fourth of July and following weeks! May we be the voice for the voiceless and do all we can to set the captive free! One of my favorite organizations fighting to end human trafficking/slavery is International Justice Mission.

    This review looks hopeful! From the trailer, I was worried this would be a Jim C hyper focus or a hyper focus on US freedom (thanks to so much political ugliness with christian Nationalism and destructive fundimentalism/legalism on the rise being justified as our "right") I didn't know how this would play.
    But, looking forward to seeing it now!

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...
