Southern Gospel movie

 


Incredible! Intensely painful, the power of love, forgiveness and redemption. Based on true story of Julie and Samuel Allen. Shows you how God can use people and circumstances in our lives. 
Beautiful music. Very talented musicians and actors, couldn't have done better. One of those movies that leaves you better for having watched it.

Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Galatians 6:9


Synopsis: Samuel Allen, a 1960's rockstar, finds himself in jail after struggling with years of anger and blame toward organized religion that has led him down a road of rebellion. In a moment of divine intervention, the judge dismisses drug charges against him under the pretense that Samuel speaks to local schools and churches about the dangers of drugs. Given a second chance, he follows in his father's footsteps to become a preacher, overcoming the influence of a powerful church leader with a personal vendetta against his family.

SOUTHERN GOSPEL is the story of a man overcoming brokenness and never surrendering the dream on his journey to find the gospel… Southern Gospel

Beauty from ashes.
1847 Whitman Mission
Abhorrent
Indians attacked and killed the males, raped and kidnapped the women, holding them hostage for a month. Two and a half years later, they are being brought to trial – and Hope is one of their key witnesses. She is constantly having to come to terms with her life afterwards, finding it a difficult thing to get over. Having to go through the trial brings it all back to life again. And brings back the memory of the secret she keeps. Tracie Peterson works her magic as few other do, presenting the facts and bringing to life the feelings of those who were involved.

The Runaway Brides Collection

From  Maryland 1865 just after the civil war to Kentucky 1877 to New York 1898 to Ohio and Colorado1892 to Massachusetts 1892 to Ohio 1877 to Ireland 1877. I never used to really care for collections, mainly because they were too short. If I did feel that way, this is sure to change it, as I am quite endeared to it. Some were new authors to me, some I'd read their books before, now I'm a fan of all.

Usually as I go along I think of what I would like to say in my review, noting things that stand out. This book though, as I was reading I thought - I like this one best. Then I thought the same about the next story. And the next. So, they're all my favorites! The Groom She Thought She'd  Left Behind I couldn't put down and I swear that I held my breath till the end. Then the next story makes you laugh out loud. Misunderstandings and perfect understandings, rejection and acceptance. A girl can change her mind, can't she? I love that there's a Christian message and lessons too. This is a book that I can highly recommend to just about everyone. They are fabulous on their own, fantastic in this collection.

Oh, I LIKE this book!

Keturah is the eldest daughter. She’s been widowed by a man who had seemed like a wonderful match, but like many abusive men, he turned on her after they were married. This left her with a promise to herself that she would never let another man control her or her sisters. Their father dies and leaves his estates in poor financial condition. The main income comes from their estate in the West Indies, so she decides to go there and bring the sugar plantation back to good condition. Her sisters are as plucky as she is and decide to go with her. Even though they’ve been warned, they go against society’s rules and find some shocking realities. A place of tropical beauty, it is male dominated and cruelty to slaves – and anyone who doesn’t act as they wish – is common. But Keturah and her sisters intend to do things their own way and bring their plantation back to life. Gray is an old family friend and flirted with everyone except Keturah when they were coming of age. His rejection then and way of life afterwards repels her, so she finds it difficult to believe that he’s changed. He is depending on turning his family’s plantation around as well, and finds that trying new things might bring him success.

Publisher's Description
In 1772 England, Lady Keturah Banning Tomlinson and her sisters find themselves the heiresses of their father's estates and know they have one option: Go to the West Indies to save what is left of their heritage.
Although it flies against all the conventions for women of the time, they're determined to make their own way in the world. But once they arrive in the Caribbean, proper gender roles are the least of their concerns. On the infamous island of Nevis, the sisters discover the legacy of the legendary sugar barons has vastly declined--and that's just the start of what their eyes are opened to in this unfamiliar world.
Keturah never intends to put herself at the mercy of a man again, but every man on the island seems to be trying to win her hand and, with it, the ownership of her plantation. She could desperately use an ally, but even an unexpected reunion with a childhood friend leaves her questioning his motives.
Set on keeping her family together and saving her father's plantation, can Keturah ever surrender her stubbornness and guarded heart to God and find the healing and love awaiting her?
