WOW! New Movie

OCTOBER BABY

Wow, I just previewed this movie for the library.  It is an emotional, well acted story of a young woman who learns she is adopted from a failed abortion and all the struggles that happen because of this.  The film is classy in a sense that it does not condemn or vilify the characters.   It has a strong theme of unconditional love and forgiveness.  It is one of those movies that continues to play in your mind over and over again even after you have watched it.  I really felt that God really was a part of this movie when I watched it.  I found it very powerful.

Here is the trailer (but just so you know the trailer does not do it justice)    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_9l7lEe-AA

THE DANGERS OF A SHALLOW FAITH

AWAKENING FROM SPIRITUAL LETHARGY

BY A.W. TOZER

I have not read this book yet but I am looking forward to reading it soon.  The author warns believers in Christ the great danger of spiritual lethargy.  He urges Christians to be aware of the times in which they live and to recognize how attempting to live a life for God on autopilot will actually undermine their faith.  Sometimes I feel like this, that my Christian life is on autopilot and I am in the 'tyranny of spiritual lethargy'.  A.W. Tozer is a writer whose powerful use of words grip the intellect and stir the soul.

Kisses From Kate

by Katie Davie

I am reading this amazing book right now.  It is biographical account about an 18 year old who ended up in Uganda and adopting many children.  This story is amazing to me, not because of what she has done, but how she has let God use her and her love for God and her love for others. It really is a story of relentless love and redemption.

If you would like to know more about her she has blog here.  http://kissesfromkatie.blogspot.ca/

If you would like to support her ministry,  http://www.amazimastore.org/pages/media  There are some wonderful pieces of jewellery that the Ugandan women make to help support their families.

If you are interested in reading the book, come and get it from your library.
