MY REVIEW:

Christmas at the Cabin is a fun movie to watch! Michelle (Marianne Haaland), a very focused individual person who loves a good plan...and expects things to go by her plan, needs to recover from a stressful situation at work. Her PLAN is a relaxing visit to their winter cabin with husband Josh (Corey Cannon) and sister Poppy (Sharon Oliphant). The car sliding into a snowbank gave this vacation a bumpy start, but next is the shocking discovery of Josh's old college roommate Gus (Stacey Sheffield) staying at the cabin, uninvited. Michelle is not pleased

Tensions rise as Michelle struggles with clumsy accidents, nothing going as planned and her continued clashes with Gus. When everyone appears to be against her, she goes rushing outside in a snowstorm, soon getting lost and trapped. Her rescuer, Luke (Todd Terry), shares soup and wisdom with Michelle to help her realize that she doesn't have to control everything. As a person who fights my own control-freak tendencies, I loved this part of the film. Luke leads her back to the cabin and to a joy-filled reunion and fresh start for everyone. If you enjoy a film that has fun, friends, family, and faith, you will love "Christmas at the Cabin." The characters and the actors who portrayed them were all fabulous, plus beautiful scenery and original music add to the pure enjoyment.

MY REVIEW of the brown leathersoft version of the NKJV Enduring Word Study Bible edited by David Guzik. Students of Scripture will appreciate the introduction at the beginning of the each book, and the insights brought by the commentary throughout each chapter. Guzik's Pastoral Notes bring application to bring an even greater understanding. There's an excellent Concordance and maps at the back to help. The print is easy to read, including the commentary in a slightly smaller size. Great for yourself or as a gift.

Peace of God Bible

The Peace of God Bible invites you to experience peace with God. The story of the Bible is the story of peace—peace with God and with one another. But peace isn’t simply a feeling of calm or ease. It is a way of experiencing life as we were always meant to—in relationship with our Creator and with each other. We can recover a completeness that was once lost but is restored in the gospel.

                      Features include:

• Book introductions to help reveal the part peace plays
• 365 devotionals based on a key verse or passage to guide you
• 365 peace notes offering short, powerful insights to help you understand more deeply the wholeness you have in Christ 
• Topical indexes to help you study how God's peace can shape different relationships 
• Articles explore what the peace of God is, how to find or recover it, and how to experience eternal salvation because of what God has done for you 
• Concise concordance and index of features 
• End-of-page translators’ notes and cross-references
• Line-matched, double-column typesetting
• Clear and readable 9.5-point NKJV Comfort Print®




 

MY REVIEW: In a world that sometimes seems overwhelming with chaos and turmoil, we all seek peace to calm our fears and a place of refuge to regain strength. Jeremiah Johnston, PhD., has edited a Bible that includes key verses, as well as insights, articles, indexes, notes, and devotionals that will guide you to the peace to be found in Jesus Christ. Experience God's Shalom throughout the Bible. 

The soft two-toned brown cover is suitable for anyone that looks and feels wonderful. The Bible is the New King James Version (NKJV) which many people enjoy reading. The print is comfortable to read with beautiful maps and an excellent concordance to help broaden your knowledge. I recommend it.

Off School Property


Off School Property: Solving the Separation of Church and State

Documentary | One Night Only | Oct 23 | Runtime 90 min

How did we get here? For generations, the Bible and prayer were part of public education. But decades ago they were systematically removed, leaving schools—the future-making factories of our nation—without the foundation that shaped so much of our culture.


The new documentary "Off School Property" is hitting theaters on October 23 for one night only. The film exposes how a biblical worldview has influenced every aspect of our society, and that removing it was like pulling the wrong piece from a Jenga tower — it has destabilized everything.

But here’s the surprise—while the Bible was being removed, an obscure 1952 Supreme Court ruling paved the way to bring it back. This solution has been sitting right under our noses for 70 years and it allows students to study the Bible—legally—during the public school day.

Today, communities across the nation are rediscovering this opportunity. The movement is spreading coast to coast—and it’s coming to a town near you.

The question isn’t just what happened? The question is… what will we do now?

GROW

 

GROW Synopsis: In the Pumpkin Capital of the World, stoic farmer Dinah Little (Golda Rosheuvel) begrudgingly takes in her spirited niece, Charlie (Priya-Rose Brookwell). But Charlie isn’t an ordinary child—she has a special knack for connecting with plants that quietly reflects her own longing to feel just as seen and loved. As the town prepares for the annual pumpkin-growing contest, Charlie sets her sights on winning.

With the help of quirky Arlo (Nick Frost), plot and pumpkins thicken as rival growers pull every trick in the book. 
Will Charlie and Dinah’s unlikely entry stand tall against the fiercest competition the town has ever seen? As her pumpkin grows, so does her bond with Dinah, and together they learn the real prize is joy, laughter, and family.

Pumpkin spice in film form, GROW is perfectly timed for fall and Halloween 
season: cozy, funny, and a safe, whimsical alternative to scary movies. Yet, at the heart of GROW is the touching bond between a prickly aunt and her spirited niece. Their journey shows that sometimes the family we need grows where we least expect it.

BUY YOUR TICKETS: FathomEntertainment.com/Grow


MY REVIEW: If you love Autumn, pumpkins, fairs, and quirky characters, GROW is meant for you! From curmudgeonly farmers to over-the-top rivals, every character feels like they’ve stepped out of a cozy, autumnal fairy tale. Charlie’s pumpkin “Peter” isn’t the only thing full of personality—the whole town bursts with quirky charm. Charlie is new, having recently and reluctantly been placed with her Aunt Dinah, and is unsure how to fit in. Things change when Charlie's special gift for communicating with plants, plus the prize money, leads to her interest in the annual pumpkin-growing contest held in the village. The competition is fierce and the contestants will stop at nothing to win.

There are a lot of laughs, and older kids will appreciate much of the humor (GROW is rated PG for a couple of suggestive comments and thematic elements). There were a couple of slightly cringey moments for me, but I did enjoy the movie and laughed a lot. For me, even more than the enormous pumpkin, was the small spark of love between Charlie and Aunt Dinah that continued to GROW as they realized they needed one another and wanted to be together. 

I mostly review faith-based films, and this is not one. However, GROW absolutely contains values of family, friendships, and fun. For the Fall enthusiast who can’t get enough of pumpkin season...

Visit christmasatthecabinmovie.com to watch the trailer and learn more about this upcoming holiday film.



 https://www.youtube.com/shorts/bgM4pCGJbkg

Synopsis: Michelle and Josh are ready for a cozy Christmas at their cabin. They invite their friend Poppy to join. Simple, right? Not quite. On the way, their car skids into a snowbank. When they finally reach the cabin, the door is wide open. Then, in true holiday chaos, they accidentally bear-spray Josh’s old college buddy, Guy — who showed up uninvited.

Michelle, who loves a good plan, struggles with Guy’s wild energy. He drives her crazy... but somehow boosts Poppy’s confidence with his charm and antics. When a blizzard hits, tensions skyrocket. After one too many of Guy’s offhand jokes about God, Michelle snaps. She storms out into the storm — and quickly gets lost.

Enter Luke, a rugged stranger who rescues her. With his quiet wisdom, he helps Michelle realize how much her need for control is costing her. Back at the cabin, Michelle opens up to Josh and Poppy. Old wounds heal. New laughter fills the air. As the snow clears, they leave the cabin with a stronger bond — and a Christmas they'll never forget.

“Christmas at the Cabin” delivers a touch of chaos and laughter, plenty of heart, and one truly unforgettable Christmas. Beautiful scenery blends with original music and beloved holiday classics, making this a perfect film for the entire family.
