Review Wire Media for Vertical Entertainment

I first heard about the Sentinelese and the North  Sentinel Island in Social Studies in ninth grade (props to my Social Studies teacher, Mr. Dean). Even though I did well in Social Studies, he made the Subject interesting and voiced his opinions openly, which is something you don't see very often in a teacher now. Over the years, I often wondered about that tribe, and now, many years later, I am blessed with being able to tell my readers about a movie based on a true story about the very tribe I have often thought about. 

ABOUT:

Based on a true story, Justin Lin's Last Days follows 26-year-old John Allen Chau’s journey to fulfill his life’s mission. He embarks on a dangerous adventure across the globe to share his faith with the isolated tribe of North Sentinel Island, while a detective from the Andaman Islands races to stop him before he does harm to himself or the tribe. PG-13

Starring: Sky Yang, Radhika Apte, Ken Leung
Directed by: Justin Lin

The North Sentinel Island is known for being the home of the Sentinelese, an indigenous tribe that remains completely isolated from the outside world and fiercely rejects contact with outsiders. In 1956, the Indian government established a protected exclusion zone around the island to prevent contact, primarily to protect the tribe from diseases to which they have no immunity and to preserve their way of life. 

Last Days opens in theaters on October 24

Check out the trailer below.

Here are the questions I asked the director.

Was John Allen Chau's mission to inform the isolated tribe of North Sentinel Island about Jesus in order to fulfill the prophecy of the Great Commission, which states that the word of Christ must be shared with all tribes, tongues, and nations of the world?

Have any other missionaries visited North Sentinel Island?

Check back soon for my review and director Justin Lin's responses to my questions.

About the Peace of God Bible


You were made for peace—and to be a peacemaker. 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.

The Peace of God Bible invites you to experience peace with God as you trace this important theme throughout Scripture. By meditating on it daily as you read 365 devotions and application notes, you will find the encouragement you need to live out of the wholeness you have in Christ—and be equipped to share that peace with others.

 Features include:
• Book introductions to help reveal the part peace plays in each book of the Bible

• 365 devotionals based on a key verse or passage to guide you in how to receive
and live by God’s peace

• 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 on your own how God's peace can shape 
different relationships in your life

• 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®

Reminders to trust the Lord in all things

 



I was working through my emails when I stopped to read a post from The Unlearning Gazette called Maybe This Delay Is Divine

Proverbs 3:5-6 "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths". was one of my mother's favorite sets of verses, and something I have heard her repeat over and over again. Even after 21 years since her passing, I still hear this verse. It gives me peace. 

I personally have been going through a lot the last few years, and even though I mean to leave it all in God's hands my human side tries to compete with God in getting it done first and believe me it usually ends up being a big mess before I stop and listen to the words my mother loved and tried to apply to her own life. 


And this is where the next verse comes in. Not one I heard my mom pray and study, but one that applies to many people today. Psalm 37:7"Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass." I have to keep reminding myself to stop, wait, and pray. Life is not a competition.


One of my favorite verses and songs comes from Isaiah 40:31: "But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint." This verse came in handy while I was going through my operations and treatment for 3rd stage Colon Cancer. 

Finally, some of my favorite things to do when things are hard in the moment are to say "Just Breathe," "One step at a time," and to remind myself how blessed I am to have food, clothes, shelter, and companionship. I hope whoever needs these words today or in the future finds peace and love and remembers, we can't do it all on our own.
