Facing the Giants


Facing the Giants is an inspirational movie that our whole family enjoyed recently. It's more than just a "feel good" movie, it shares the truth that God can work through his children to accomplish what appears to be impossible. I really like this film because the main characters aren't your typical "movie star" types, but they look like normal people and have everyday problems. A father, who coaches high school football, is about to lose his job. He struggles to provide for his childless family and discovers that he and his wife may never be able to have children. 

Thanks to his faith in Christ and the encouragement of others in his life, including his wife, the coach triumphs over those obstacles. Although the plot is fictitious, it is believable and encouraging. 

This film provides a lot of fodder for family discussion. Go team!
