The Shift Movie Review & Giveaway
This is not the typical genre of movies that I watch, but I thought the storyline sounded interesting. I’m glad I watched! The Shift is a dystopian drama and sci-fi thriller.
In The Shift, one man is faced with infinite worlds and impossible choices. When Kevin Garner meets a nefarious adversary known as The Benefactor and refuses his offer of wealth and power, he must escape an alternate totalitarian reality. With survival on the line, Kevin fights to make it back to the world he knows and the woman he loves.
The Shift Movie Review
The Shift, rated PG-13, is a pretty intense movie. If you have sensitive teens, I suggest you watch it first. So you can make the decision if they are ready to see it.
Even though it’s not my usual movie genre, I really liked The Shift. If you are familiar with the book of Job, you might recognize the storyline. This movie is a unique interpretation of the book of Job, though.
Kevin loses everything, and the Benefactor offers him everything, more than he could ever imagine having. But Kevin knows what truly matters, resists the Benefactor, and does everything he can to return to his home and wife. While the storyline may follow the story of Job, it looks very different than the story of Job from the Bible.
Watch the trailer!
The Shift stars
Kristoffer Polaha as Kevin Garner,
Elizabeth Tabish as Molly Garner,
Sean Astin as Gabriel
and Neal McDonough as The Benefactor.
The casting in this movie was perfect. Neal McDonough is amazing as The Benefactor.
My favorite quote: “God is here. And everything that I’ve ever witnessed, everything that I’ve done, everything that I’ve done, and everything you’ve put me through, just makes it that much easier to see.”
I’m not going to give away the ending. You have to see it for yourself! The Shift has a powerful ending.
I, and my husband that likes sci-fi, both really liked The Shift!

The Old Testament Handbook Review
Having the right reference books can make Bible study so much easier, and rewarding. Sometimes, the Old Testament can be difficult to follow, and understand. So I was excited to hear about the new The Old Testament Handbook. I have not been disappointed!
The Old Testament Handbook Review
Not only is this a beautiful hardback book, The Old Testament Handbook is made to last. Cloth covered, with the title embossed in gold on the front, and on the spine. An attached ribbon bookmark, and a sewn binding, lends to its durability. It has a very elegant look and feel to it. The book looks great on a shelf, or displayed on your coffee table.
The back cover has a slip on paper jacket with all the information about the book.
I have loved going through this book. I will use this as my go to book for Bible study, since all of the books of the Old Testament is included.
At church, my pastor has been preaching through Genesis, so that’s the first chapter I checked out. Not too hard to find, as that’s the first book of the Bible. lol This book is filled with beautiful artwork. Every book has an in-depth introduction page like this one.
Old Testament Study Helps
There are timelines, maps, charts, illustrations, and other visual helps for every book of the Old Testament.
There are more than 75 in-depth word studies of keywords found in each Old Testament book. These are incredibly helpful during Bible study. Each word study takes you back to the original Hebrew word. It also gives you the pronunciation! Who doesn’t need help with that?! lol
The many charts in the book are comprehensive, as well as easy to read. They contain so much information, like The Hebrew Prophets in History below. it features the Prophet, the approximate dates, their location/home, the basic Bible passage, their central teaching, and their key verse. These are not charts that you will just refer to once.
Whether you want a reference book for your own studies, to help you teach, or to share the Bible with others, I highly recommend The Old Testament Handbook! It would make an awesome gift, too!

A Christmas for the Ages Movie Review & Giveaway
Have you ever wondered what Christmas was like when your mother was a child? How about when your grandmother or great grandmother were little? This is the premise of the new movie A Christmas for the Ages exclusively on Great American Family.

Watch the A Christmas for the Ages trailer!
A Christmas for the Ages Movie Review
It was so fun to see how Christmas was celebrated across the decades. The decorations, the food, the clothes, and the music. Watching someone eat a green Jello mold with cottage cheese and pineapple was funny. lol Seeing an aluminum tree makes me thankful that trend hasn’t come back. lol
The movie might feel a little slow moving at times. But just listen. It’s a very heartfelt movie. You’ll also hear some gems like my favorite quote from A Christmas for the Ages:
Honestly I think it’s still good old Christmas, I mean Jesus born in the manager, family togetherness, gifts. I mean that’s the constant isn’t it? Your great grandmother was right. Times may change, but every year we can always count on Christmas to bring us together.
And this one……
That’s the beauty of it, really. We’re all ages, all individuals but we come together and love one another just as God loves us. That’s family.
I loved the end of the movie. All 4 ladies sang together songs from the decades in a Christmas show. They are all so talented. Their husbands and boyfriends all joined them onstage as well.
I very much enjoyed watching A Christmas for the Ages. It’s suitable for the whole family.
Watch A Christmas for the Ages exclusively on Great American Family starting November 26th!
