I just watched the newly released movie, Miracle at Manchester on Pure Flix this afternoon.  It was a great movie!  I love that it was based on a true story!  That made it even more exciting to watch.

Miracle at Manchester was very well done and dragged me right into wondering what would happen next.  Pure Flix is our favorite streaming channel to watch movies and shows with our family.

About the Movie:

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.

My husband and I just watched this movie and it’s one that you will NOT want to miss!! WOW!  So intense, even though we know how the story ends!  A lot of thought went into this movie.

About the Movie:

• 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.

Check out the incredible trailer below:

I am so excited to have a copy of Amazing Grace by Bruce Hindmarsh and Craig Borlase.  Amazing Grace is one of my favorite songs and from reading about the book, it sounds like there is an incredible story behind it.  This is next on my reading list and my older children have called dibs on it as well.

About the Book:

Amazing Grace is the surprising true story of John Newton, author of the song that has touched millions. This biography reads like a novel and reveals Newton’s dramatic story of sin and salvation as a slave trader before his ultimate transformation to speaking out against the horror of slavery. His story speaks to the brokenness within us all and our need for God’s amazing grace—and reveals the truth behind his song.

Giveaway:

Blessed Freebies has a copy of Amazing Grace to give away!  Head on over to their website for your chance to win.

Everyone can also snag the following freebies by visiting the Amazing Grace website and scrolling down:

• 5-day devotional
