Faith of Our Fathers: A Story of Fatherhood A Journey of Brotherhood DVD Movie Review




Faith of Our Fathers is a brand new Christian movie. The movie begins with young couple John Paul (play by Kevin Downes) and Cynthia (played by Candace Carmen Bure). They are getting married in a few weeks. John Paul has unanswered questions about his late father, Eddie. His father served in the Vietnam War alongside his best friend, Steven. They were both tragically killed in combat. He tracks down his father’s best friend’s son, Wayne (played by David A.R. White). Wayne takes John Paul on a road trip journey to see the Vietnam Wall in Washington, D.C. and he tries to help him discover the truths about their fathers. Along the way, Wayne convinces John Paul to buy the letters he received from his father for $500 dollars a piece. These letters contain information about their fathers and what happened in Vietnam.



I would recommend this amazing movie to anyone who enjoys faith based movies. This movie is a perfect movie to watch to remember Veteran’s Day. I loved the dynamitic list of movie stars staring in this movie. Candace Carmen Bure is one of my favorite actress who always portrays in nice family friendly roles. I also loved the surprise guest star Duck Dynasty, Si Robertson and how he brought humor to the scene. I loved seeing Christian artist, Rebecca St. James back on screen. I liked the overall plot of the film and how they showed old war scenes to add to the movie’s appearance. I also liked how the letters showed the journey of how Wayne’s father became a Christian by being influenced by Eddie. The movie is kind of a sad movie but I liked how the film showed the power of brotherhood in fathers and sons. If you’re looking for a new movie to watch, then watch this film!




About the movie:
John Paul and Wayne are two young men in search of their fathers.  Problem is...their fathers have been dead for 25 years.  Eddie and Steven are two young men in search of their sons...whom they've never met.  In 1969, Eddie and Steven are with their squad deep in the jungle of Vietnam on a five-day mission to retrieve fallen comrades.  They write letters to their wives, often mentioning their love for their sons, one, who is an infant and one yet to be born.  In 1994, John Paul and Wayne go on a five day road trip to the Vietnam Wall in Washington DC to see their fathers' names.  Along the way, reading those letters, they begin to get an understanding of who their fathers were and how they died.  Trials and mishaps, both funny and sad, complicate the road trip for the boys.  The horrors of war and the testing of faith manifest themselves for the young men in Vietnam.  Ultimately, in parallel stories - 25 years apart - the fathers and sons are bound together forever.

Grace of God: A Story of Easter Traditions DVD Review and Giveaway





Grace of God is a movie starring John Ratzenberger, Erin Bethea, Lorenzo Lamas, and much more. The plot is about a church’s offering plate locked in a safe is stolen. The theft was able to obtain over $30,000. The church decides to ask a detective to help investigate the crime. The detective doesn’t believe in God and is very critical of Christian and the body of Christ. He interrogates a number of church members and makes most of them feel uncomfortable. He explores their past trying to get to the bottom of the crime. He finally gets one church member to confess to the crime. The church has a decision to make will they offer forgiveness or will they cast the first stone.

 

I would recommend this awesome movie to anyone who enjoys faith filled movies that contain a powerful message. The acting was superb and the characters brought the story to life. I really liked how this movie was clean for the whole family and it contained an excellent message about the Ten Commandments, forgiveness, grace, unbelief, and the importance of faith. Although, this film is a fictional film it very well happens because one of my old church members stole from my former church so it doesn’t surprise me. And as congregation we choose to forgive. When I was watching the movie, I was trying to figure out who took the money and why and it kept me guessing until the very end. I was shocked to discover who really committed the crime. If you’re looking for a new movie to enjoy for family night, then watch this one!

The Harbinger Decoded DVD Official Documentary By Jonathan Cahn Review



The Harbinger Decoded DVD is a documentary based on the book, The Harbinger written by a Jewish Rabbi, Jonathan Cahn. The DVD featured highlights from the bestselling book and was presented to teach some of the main points. The idea to write the book came when Jonathan Cahn was standing in New York after September 11th when God pressed upon him to notice the sycamore tree lying at Ground Zero. The book was written as a fictional book but had factual information in it. The DVD demonstrated the nine harbingers that a prophet gave to a stranger named Nouriel. Cahn explored the Biblical concepts found in Isaiah 9-10 and how they relate to today’s times in America. Jonathan Cahn shared that one of the nine harbingers was the fallen bricks of the Twin Towers and he compared this to ancient Israel and their destruction. Some of the other nine harbingers was about the sycamore tree that was discovered at Ground Zero, the new stone build in defiance, and the truthful statements from American leaders about our allegiance against God.

 

I would recommend this unbelievable DVD to every single believer because we truly need to be aware of what is happening in the world around us. This DVD taught me so much about the end times and hidden secrets concerning the attack on September 11th, 2001 and the aftermath that we have followed in Israel’s rebellion actual footsteps mistakenly. This is the first time, I have heard about the book or Jonathan Cahn. I immensely was shocked about what our key leaders in America professed unknowingly and they had no idea what they even said. They declared publicly America’s rebellions against God. I was deniability horrified in watching the DVD and what America as a whole, we have allowed to occur. The nine harbingers stunned me and I learnt about the sycamore and the stone we have designed at Ground Zero and so much more. I also liked how Jonathan Cahn shared how he got published by meeting a random stranger at the airport! I also really enjoyed the special features that included Jonathan Cahn’s personal testimony. I haven’t read the book yet, but after seeing the DVD, I want to read it! If you’re looking for a book on the end time prophecy, then read this book!
