Sun Moon is a beautiful story about discovering joy and purpose despite cultural differences and difficulties. I was able to watch this new movie from Pure Flix before it’s release so I could share my Sun Moon movie review with you.

Sun Moon Movie Review

Sun Moon tells the story of Kelsey, who was just left at the altar. Understandably, she is having a hard time dealing with this. Her heart is broken, and she is humiliated. Kelsey abandons her faith and church because of this. Since the rug was just pulled out from under her, she does not know what to do, or what God wants her to do.

Kelsey does not want to see anyone, especially while clearing the wedding decor from the church. So while trying to avoid people in the parking lot, she goes inside to hide. She ends up listening to missionaries from Taiwan tell about their time there teaching. She sees a job there as an opportunity to start fresh.

This is complicated by Kelsey’s mother being sick and in the hospital. She lives with her little sister, a college student, as well. But her sister encourages her to go.

Kelsey has a, shall we say, adventurous trip to the school in Taiwan. Her first several days overwhelm her, but her pride won’t allow her to admit defeat. She also encounters some difficult students. While talking to the principal, he encourages her to learn from Horace, a fellow teacher that the students really like. She finally starts making some headway with her students.

After things start going more smoothly, Kelsey puts forth some effort to become assimilated to Taiwan. While Horace helps her learn how to ride a Vespa, their friendship begins.

Sun Moon Movie

As Kelsey’s adventures and explorations of the country continue, her students warm up to her. She is finally able to connect with them and make a difference in their lives. Like moving to Taiwan to be their teacher did in her life. Her students ask her to help them learn and perform a play based off the Biblical book of Ruth. They perform it for the school’s big Christmas party at the end of the semester.

Kelsey enjoys watching her students perform, and actually performing with them. But she knows her time there is up, her term has ended, and she must go home as her mother is dying.

Once home, Kelsey realizes how much closer to God she has gotten since being in Taiwan. She sees that even though she was struggling with disappointment and a loss of faith, that God used it all. Yes, even the hurt and the pain. She learned to trust in His timing. Since Kelsey learned what God’s purpose and plan for her life was, she returns to Taiwan.

I really enjoyed watching this movie. Sun Moon is a family friendly movie about love, healing, letting go, forgiveness, and family. At some point, we all walk through difficult and challenging times. Sun Moon is a great reminder that God works through all the circumstances in our life. We see the hardships, and pain, that Kelsey goes through. We see her walk through these difficult and challenging times. How she overcomes these challenges, and returns to her faith. And discovers God’s plan and purpose for her life.

I highly recommend Sun Moon. This movie has the themes of struggling with disappointment & loss of faith, how to walk through difficult & challenging times, and there is a season for everything, running through out. Sun Moon is suitable for the whole family.

Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD. Psalms 27:14 (NIV)

The Journey: A Music Special from Andrea Bocelli Review & Giveaway

“We journeyed by horse for over 300 kilometers along a path that was not always easy to travel, but absolutely beautiful, made of meadows and forests; sacred places filled with lasting testimonies of faith, full of art of incredible beauty, and views in front of which one can’t but ponder about creation and the miraculous work of our Heavenly Father.” Andrea Bocelli talking about The Journey.

While riding through the gorgeous Italian countryside, Andrea talks with everyone about their faith, their singing, and their lives.

Interspersed between scenes of traveling on horseback, are beautiful scenes with amazing singers. Whether it’s inside or outside, it’s like seeing a mini concert. The sound is excellent. The settings amazing.

Miracle at Manchester is a powerful film based on the true story
of a high schooler & the power of prayer!

Synopsis:

God is still in the business of miracles. Based on the true story, a high schooler’s bright future changes in an instant when he’s diagnosed with an aggressive cancer. But the power of prayer and support from his community renews a father’s faith and brings healing to a family.

Brycen Newman, beloved member of his high school’s football and baseball teams, starts experiencing unexplained headaches. As the headaches continue and other symptoms crop up, Brycen’s parents take him to the hospital, who dismiss them.

Ed Hanson, a car repair owner, hides the long hours of labor he works on his cars from his wife, Marilyn. Marilyn is Brycen’s nurse and inspires Ed to take an interest in Brycen’s case. Richard Newman, Brycen’s dad, takes the advice of his coworker to seek help for his son from a neurosurgeon. It’s advised he needs surgery.

Brycen’s classmates and girlfriend pray and rally around Brycen as he continues his battle in the hospital. Richard tries to wrap his brain around his son’s diagnosis.

Miracle at Manchester stars Kory Getman as Brycen Newman; Eddie McClintock – Richard Newman; Daniel Roebuck – Ed Hanson; Kathy Patterson – Marilyn Hanson; and Dean Cain as Dr. Getty

Miracle at Manchester Movie Review & Giveaway

Miracle at Manchester is an awesome movie with an incredible ending. God healed Brycen! The tumor is gone! God is still doing miracles. I love movies based on real life!

The themes of the power of prayer, God’s sovereignty & His power to perform miracles, charity for others & your community, as well as hope in times of distress are seen throughout the movie.

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. – 2 Timothy 4:7 (NIV)

I highly recommend Miracle at Manchester for the whole family. While there is sadness, and a some tears, about Brycen having cancer, the movie does not have an overwhelming sad feel to it.

My son is a childhood leukemia survivor. So I have been where Brycen’s parents were. I thought the actors did an excellent job of showing what a parent goes through. From sadness and tears, to a fighting attitude of not giving up, then to relief and joy.

I thought that Kory Getman who portrayed Brycen did an excellent job, as well.

Watch the Miracle at Manchester trailer!

Miracle at Manchester is very heart warming and inspiring.

When you watch this movie, be sure to watch all the way to the end!

You’ll see the real Brycen that Miracle at Manchester is based on. Hear what Brycen himself has to say about his cancer. See his classmates, coaches, parents, And his car!

You do NOT want to miss this movie!

I’m excited to bring you this His Only Son movie review & giveaway!

Angel Studios, who brought you The Chosen, is releasing a new film, His Only Son. For the first time in a feature film, the controversial account of Abraham and Isaac will be brought to life, one that everyone can draw inspiration from.

His Only Son Movie Review & Giveaway

His Only Son recounts one of the most controversial moments in the Old Testament—when Abraham was commanded by God to sacrifice his son Isaac on the mountain of Moriah. While traveling to the place of the sacrifice, alongside Isaac and two servants, Abraham is flooded with vivid memories from the years he and Sarah spent longing for the son they were promised—the son he must now lay upon the altar.

His Only Son Movie Review

His Only Son starts out with Abraham telling Sarah that God told him to go make a sacrifice. She didn’t like the fact that he would have to travel, because travel in that time period was dangerous. But when he told her that he was taking Isaac with him. she was very, very against it. As you would imagine. So course, she tried to talk him out of going, but he insisted that God told him to go and he was going AND taking Isaac with him.

And, yes, there is danger along the way on their trip. From soldiers for the king, to a servant trying to take matters into his own hands.

His Only Son

Along the way, Abraham has flashbacks to everything that led up to this point. When God told him that He would make Abraham a great nation. All the pain that Sarah felt from not being able to have a baby. What happened when Sarah gave her maid Hagar to Abraham, and the tension that created in their relationship.

When Abraham and Isaac finally get to Moriah, Isaac asks his father where the lamb is for the sacrifice. “The Lord will provide the lamb.” Isaac had no reason to not trust or believe his father. When they get up on the mountain, and Abraham tells his precious son what God told him to do. Isaac does question why God would tell his father to do this.

Abraham was right. God did provide a lamb for the sacrifice.

The movie than fast forwards 2,000 years. Then we see 3 crosses and another “His only son”. And a Roman guard saying this man was the son of God. The movie ends with the Bible verse John 3:16 on the screen.

His Only Son is a very well done movie. The whole family can watch this movie. A couple of scenes are a little intense, so young, or sensitive, children may have a hard time with them.

Overall, though, His Only Son is a great family movie. We can see that what God promises, He will fulfill. That He is always there watching over us, protecting us, and providing for us. An awesome message for us all!

A Thousand Tomorrows Review

A Thousand Tomorrows started streaming exclusively on Pure Flix on February 24. There is a new episode every Friday. Today, I’m going to be talking about Episode 5.

In episode 5, Cody and Ali take leaps of faith for each other and their future. The themes for this episode include salvation, how faith can help us in the worst of times, taking a leap of faith, making a sacrifice, and that Jesus is in control.

Episode 5 begins with Cody and Carl Joseph as kids helping their mom prep for Christmas while their dad is out at the bar. Fast forward to the present – Cody and Ali are enjoying the traditional Christmas celebrations.

They are now spending more and more time together on the ranch. This gives Ali a chance to share her faith with Cody and he starts to wonder and question how can she believe so easily.

Ali, who has cystic fibrous, suffers a major coughing fit. It really scares Cody, because although he knew she was sick, he had never seen her so sick.
Cody asks Ali’s father for her hand in marriage and received his blessing. Then he was shocked to be told she’s dying. Her only hope was a lung transplant.

A Thousand Tomorrows Review

After that, Cody does the only thing he can do. He goes to get tested to see if he’s a donor match for Ali. And he is!
While planning their wedding, Ali urges Cody to forgive his father and invite him to the wedding.

After the successful transplant, they get married!

Karen Kingsbury’s A Thousand Tomorrows is a love story for the ages and shows real sacrifice and loyalty in the face of insurmountable odds.

I loved this episode of A Thousand Tomorrows! Entertaining and heart warming at the same time. Totally family friendly, too! I loved the warm relationships that Cody and Ali have with their families. This episode didn’t have any rodeo scenes, but others do. I’m excited to watch the rest of the episodes!

Watch A Thousand Tomorrows now streaming exclusively on Pure Flix!
