Desires of the Heart -Movie review

The weekend is almost here. What will you be watching? 

Desires of the heart is based around twin bothers Ethan and Jack struggles over their birthright – ownership of their father’s business, The Abrams Group, and a treasured family heirloom. But when their father Ike dies, Ethan and Jack find nothing is as they thought it would be.

An irreversible decision is made by their mother that damages the very fabric of the family. Ethan finds he must confront the choices of the past and the hurt and anger that poison his spirit. If he succeeds, he will discover the power that forgiveness holds.

A compelling tale of forgiveness and reconciliation that parallels the Biblical story of Jacob and Esau.

This touching Christian drama really brings out how important a father’s approval and acceptance really is. This film will be helpful to parents to see how the eternal consequences of their children may be as a direct result of their own choices. 

Courageous - a must-see film for husbands and fathers

I just finished watching  this film "Courageous" and I would like to recommend it for every man - for the husbands and fathers; and for the men not yet married.

"Courageous" is about four police officers who struggle with their faith and their roles as husbands and fathers when tragedy strikes close to home. Together they make a decision that will change all of their lives.

I would like to share this quote from Adam Mitchell (acted by Alex Kendrick). It summarises the essence of a father in a home.

...I now believe that God desires for EVERY father to courageously step up and do whatever it takes to be involved in the lives of his children. But more than just being there providing for them, he is to walk with them through their young lives and be a visual representation of the character of God, their father in heaven.
