In the middle of watching this movie I wondered if this was a true story.  Well, it is, but not about one person, but a thousand, according to the World Wide Web.

There are Michael and Cory Brands out there who are baseball players, but this is not really about them.

This is a Christian movie, but it is very secular as well.  The struggles of the characters are very real.  They have support groups, and even if Jesus is at the center of it all, the movie shows and reminds us that change does not come overnight, and nothing great could happen if we hold back.  When I searched who said it, "Google" points to SCOTT ELROD, the handsome actor who plays Cory Brand.

I like the approach and treatment of this movie.  It talks about Jesus, but it doesn't shove into your face His teachings or whatever.

All of us are broken, and we have things in the past we are ashamed of, but just in different degrees.

In this movie Cory judged someone...a Sunday school teacher...and he accused her of not knowing what he is going through because she's sheltered.  Oh boy.  He got the shock of his life when...

No.  I won't tell you.  Even if this is six years old, some of you might still want to see this, and you wouldn't want spoilers, so I'll spare you the "details".

All I can say is that everyone in this movie did a good job.

Kudos to everyone involved in this project.

Blessings and cheers, everyone. 

Thanks a bunch for your time!
