Many thanks to Abba Heart Ministries for providing a sample of the product for this review. My opinions are 100% my own.
Having been healed in my lifetime and seeing others healed, this movie has my attention. I can't wait to see it and hear of others being healed with only one true answer to how the healing happened. I frequently ask God why I am blessed with being able to see so many miracles, while others beg to be able to see just one? I have come to the conclusion that some people just can't see the miracle; it is like their eyes are closed to it or unable to accept it.
Synopsis: How do you explain ... the unexplainable? When does the impossible ... become possible? Why are some prayers for healing answered and others ... never are? Through true stories of the supernatural crashing into human suffering, a compelling new documentary arrives in theaters this spring—unlocking the possibility that the impossible still happens in our world. Meet experts who have studied miracles and suffering, discover true stories of the seemingly unbelievable, and be reminded that prayers can be answered in ways that we could never expect or imagine. If you or someone you love has ever pondered life’s deepest question—“If there is a loving God, why is there so much suffering and evil in the world?” experience hope, encouragement, and awe with SHOW ME YOUR GLORY.
Check out the trailer for Show Me Your Glory below.
Check back here after 5/9/2025 for my review.
After seeing Show Me Your Glory, it just proves to me that Jesus still performs miracles in many ways, from healing and even with suffering or death. I love that this movie shows many different walks of life and how they were touched spiritually, personally or through others. This movie shows that Science can only explain so much, and Jesus does the rest. Remember, God doesn't always answer prayers the way we think they should go, and we need to be willing to follow the path he has chosen for us because his story isn't finished yet. Miracles can and do happen to anyone! P.S. Bring the Tissues

Welcome to the CSB Illustrated Notetaking Bible Giveaway!
I am so excited to be able to share the CSB Illustrated Notetaking Bible with my friends, family, and readers. I find that when I use my bible I am highlighting, writing notes, and doodling while learning the word of God.
I have notes and papers tucked into my Bible and Bible case that I find important to my life, inspirational, or for helping to minister to someone. I even have things my children made while growing up from Sunday School tucked in here and there.
The songs I sing in church or at home are highlighted in my Bible in one color so I can find them quickly. I am also lucky enough to have more than one Bible and I use each of them differently.
In just a few days I will be able to enjoy the CSB Illustrated Notetaking Bible for myself. I am excited to be able to color pictures, verses, etc to give my Bible a pop of color.
Check back here after 4/15/25 for my review.
I finally got my copy of the CSB Illustrated Notetaking Bible from Holman Bibles and it is much more beautiful in real life; the pictures I was given to use do not give it justice. I love that it has 2 ribbon markers, which make it great for saving where you are reading and where you may be following along with a sermon. It has many pictures you can fill in with color and plenty of space for taking notes, too.
This Bible is by no means a lightweight so be aware that it weighs 4 lbs 4oz in the box sleeve that it comes in and 3 lbs 11oz on its own. Depending on your strength in traveling with this, you may want this as a Bible for home study and reflection as opposed to a church or ministry Bible.
For me I could use it either way because my rollator could hold it when I am moving from one place to another. I am also pretty sure that my current Bible weighs just about as much, if you take into account the case and all of the papers and things I have in it.
I love how this Bible feels and rests while open. It has beautiful maps and a concordance to help you study or find scriptures more quickly. It also has a weekly reading schedule check off list to be able to read the Bible in a year. The only thing that could make this better is if the words of Jesus were in red, but that I can get from several of my other Bibles.
The CSB Illustrated Notetaking Bible would make a great gift for Easter, Baptism, Birthday, Christmas, etc.
Enhance your personal Bible study with the CSB Illustrator's Notetaking Bible. This uniquely crafted Bible features large, easy-to-read 9.5-point type in a single-column setting with wide journaling margins and line-art illustrations on every page spread. Including filigree designs, Scripture quotes, and other unique Scripture art alongside plenty of space for personal creativity and journaling, this Bible will inspire you to engage God’s Word freshly and excitingly. This beautiful Bible provides the perfect place for meaningful creativity and personalization, over time creating an incredible keepsake for your journey.

Many thanks to Come And See Foundation for providing a sample of the product for this review. My opinions are 100% my own.
The people of Israel welcome Jesus as king while his disciples anticipate his crowning. But—instead of confronting Rome—he turns the tables on the Jewish religious festival. Their power threatened, the country’s religious and political leaders will go to any length to ensure this Passover meal is Jesus’ last.
The Chosen is a groundbreaking historical drama based on the life of Jesus (Jonathan Roumie), seen through the eyes of those who knew him. Set against the backdrop of Roman oppression in first-century Israel, the seven-season series shares an authentic and intimate look at Jesus’ revolutionary life and teachings.
With over 250 million viewers (as of 7/27/24), The Chosen is one of the most-watched shows in the world.
The Chosen is back for Holy Week, the most pivotal week in human history. Tables are turned. Friends are betrayed. And powerful leaders plot the death of Jesus. The Chosen: Last Supper is the must see event of the Easter season.
The Chosen: Last Supper is releasing in theaters in 3 parts! Part One (episodes 1-2) releases on March 28; Part Two (episodes 3-5) releases on April 4; and Part Three (episodes 6-8) releases on April 11.
Check out the trailer for The Chosen: Last Supper below
Check back here for my review after 3/24/25
The Chosen: Last Supper moved my emotions more than other renditions I have watched in the past. The most emotional part for me was when Jesus rode into the city on the donkey. It also drove home verses from the bible more clearly when they show different parts in the movie being acted out. You don't have to be a Bible reader for this film to move you, but it does help you understand what you have read more clearly.
To be honest I had not watched any of The Chosen series because I was afraid it would not be biblically correct, so I reached out to several who have watched the series and also preach the word of God. Everyone who responded said the series was good and that I should watch it as well. I am now catching up on the series and I love what I am seeing.

A powerful cinematic Biblical journey that brings to life the ultimate act of love and sacrifice as seen through the eyes of those who walked alongside Jesus.
I am excited to see so many faith-based movies and shows especially when they are about the time and people of the Bible and Jesus. It brings the words to life which can strengthen your walk and or relationship with Jesus.
Check back here after 3/12 for my review.
3/15/2025
Growing up in the church, you hear about the story of Jesus all the time. What you don't get is how it might have been in between verses of the Bible. The movie The Last Supper did a great job with visuals. I love the opening scenes and the quick show of feeding the multitude. It shows how the Last Supper might have been, and not all dressed up like it has been perceived in paintings. It shows just how much turmoil Judas might have been going through before he turned on Jesus for a mere 30 pieces of silver.
I did feel they rushed towards the end because the movie was about The Last Supper and other movies have been made about his crucifixion, so that was where things went a bit more quickly. They only included enough to give you the feeling of hope and awe when he rises again after his death. It was a good movie when you understand it sets up the characters quickly, not all of his disciples are named, and the main theme was about how the Last Supper might have been. For those who haven't read or been taught about Jesus this is a good way to get a little information so that you can grow your knowledge about his life.

Homelessness can happen to anyone, but together, we can make a difference.
Inspired by true events, NO ADDRESS follows the harrowing journey of Lauren, a young woman pushed onto the streets and forced to survive against all odds. Alongside a makeshift family of outcasts—each with their own haunting story of struggle and loss—Lauren discovers that home is not just a place, but the people who refuse to let you fall.
Featuring powerhouse performances from Lucas Jade Zumann, (20th Century Women, Anne with an E, Chicago Fire), Beverly D’Angelo (National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, Entourage, Vegas Vacation), Isabella Ferreira (Crush, Love Victor, Orange is the New Black), William Baldwin (Gossip Girl, Parenthood, Forgetting Sarah Marshall), Xander Berkeley (Terminator 2: Judgment Day, The Walking Dead, 24), Ty Pennington (Extreme Home Makeover: Home Edition, Trading Spaces), Kristanna Loken (Terminator 3, Boy Meets World), Patricia Velasquez (The Mummy, The Mummy Returns, Arrested Development) and GRAMMY Award-Winning Singer/Songwriter & actress, Ashanti (Coach Carter, John Tucker Must Die), NO ADDRESS s is a raw and unflinching look at the dark realities of homelessness.

MEET THE CHARACTERS
Jimmy: A compassionate teenager who escapes an abusive home, finding kinship on the streets.
Lauren: Recently aged out of foster care, Lauren discovers her belongings discarded and nowhere to call home.
Harris: A talented painter and war-scarred veteran, grappling with battlefield memories while searching for peace.
Violet: A former veteran haunted by addiction, struggling to reclaim her sense of self.
Dora: Once a celebrated actress, Dora now battles memory loss and finds herself forgotten by society.
Robert: A businessman driven to extremes by financial ruin, organizing efforts to remove the street family for a redevelopment project.
Gabrielle: A committed advocate tirelessly working to support those experiencing homelessness and fighting for their dignity.
The movie No Address is so important for many reasons. Personally, our family has been homeless twice. The first time was because the owners of the house we were renting were not paying their mortgage, the second time because my husband fell at work and was injured so he could not work anymore, and in between when workman's comp ended and disability started up we had run through all of our savings and ended up homeless for 18 months. You don't always have to have a mental issue, drug addiction, or alcohol problem before homelessness can happen to you.
I find that many people are really just a paycheck away from being homeless. The need in our own area alone is large. There is not enough low-income housing available for those who need it. Right now we are renting after being homeless for 18 months. We have been in our rental for 8 years and it just sold to someone from the city who wants to gut it and I am sure raise the price much higher than most in our area can afford.
You may ask what happens to us. Well, the cold fact is we are scared to death because there is no housing available for the amount we have coming in, and even with outside help they want the rent to be lower than what is available in our area and nearby areas. There needs to be change not only for support for those with problems but for those who live on fixed incomes and can not afford the rent that apartments and houses currently have.
No Address really hit upon many aspects of why people become homeless and didn't end with everyone having a great outcome after all was said and done, but it did give hope that things can change and get better. People just need to work together to make sure change happens so that everyone has access to a home to call their own.
What No Address did not show was how hard it is to get housing when you have little, or no income and you are faced with being homeless much less the credit rating most landlords ask for and want before they will approve you even if you make enough for the rent.
It did not show how much these agencies that help get you into housing allow for housing and how much higher the market is making it almost impossible to find housing at the amount they allow. It did not show the frustration of finally getting help to find out you can't find housing within the price of the help given. What is needed countrywide is more low-income housing.
This movie was a start. Hope to see more movies made about this topic but delve more into the complexities of the process. Until then lets work together to make the world a better place for everyone.

Many thanks to I Am Living Proof the Movie for providing a sample of the product for this review. Opinions are 100% my own.
I Am Living Proof is a compelling and intimate look into the lives of three individuals who face an extraordinary life-altering event.
Bri, once a promising student, finds her academic dreams derailed by an illness that’s deteriorating her body. For seven years, she’s caught in a cycle of failed medical treatments and excruciating pain, pushing her toward assisted suicide.
Steve’s life spirals out of control after a workplace accident leaves him dependent on opioids. Jobless and desperate, he attempts to end it all with an overdose.
Mary, a mother of five, faces debilitating pain from a spinal injury that leaves her unable to care for her children until a vivid dream sparks an unexpected turning point.
Unbeknownst to them, their paths are about to intersect with Mario Murillo, a traveling preacher who’s spent his life sharing God’s love and healing power when his old-school-style tent revival happens to be in town. This chance encounter challenges their beliefs and offers a glimmer of hope in their darkest hours.
I Am Living Proof chronicles their transformative experiences as we together meet the real God of miracles.
In the summer of 2022, thousands gathered under a revival tent in Colorado Springs as churches across the community joined forces to host renowned evangelist Mario Murillo. Among the countless testimonies of healing that emerged, three extraordinary stories from local residents captured the attention of director Bob Maddux and producer Shane Gilbert. These compelling accounts of transformation each uniquely powerful - demanded to be shared with a broader audience, leading to the creation of this groundbreaking documentary.
Check out the trailer for I Am Living Proof below.
Watch this powerful documentary in theaters starting March 9th!
Check back here after 3/5/2025 for my review.
3/8/25
First and foremost, I have personally been healed and have seen healing in my lifetime, as well as many miracles. My life is a story of ups and downs, but through it all, I can see each time Jesus was in control, even when things seemed dim. After the fact, we could see where he worked on his plan for my life.
I love seeing miracles and healing being done in people's lives which I am Living Proof shows happening by showing back stories of the people who were touched by God and where they are today. Even with seeing miracles and healing, I am always amazed by the love of God.
I am Living Proof shows the strength of God and what he can do in someone's life. It gives hope to those who have lost all hope. These are the kinds of things we need to see on a daily basis. It also shows some scenes of the Doctors or specialists who were trying to help these people before their healing and then what they had to say after these people were healed. A true testimony to what Jesus can do for you.
Sometimes as a Christian myself who has seen miracles and healing I need a reminder like this to get me through the day and remember just how far I have come in my battle with health issues.
I really can't say anything bad about this film but wish they could have shown more healing and miracles that happened.
