In the midst of this journey, he befriends a little girl and her mother.

It is one of the more touching movies I have seen.  At the end of the movie, it made me wish that my Grandfather had done similar for me.

Thr3e--DVD

Courtesy: Christian Cinema

This is one of the best thrillers I have seen!  Here is a summary as stated on the Christian Cimema website:

 

"Thr3e is a riveting psychological thriller about a young seminary student, Kevin Parson (Marc Blucas) who joins forces with a criminal psychologist, Jennifer Peters (Justine Waddell) to thwart the activities of a psychopathic killer. Together they must unravel the killer’s riddles and catch him before he strikes again. But the closer they get, the more twisted the path becomes.
Based on the award-winning novel by Christian author Ted Dekker, (House) and directed by Robby Henson, Thr3e enters a world where nothing is what it seems."


This is the only movie I know of that follows the book by the letter!  The only thing different is that the movie adds one extra scene that the book doesn't have.  But the extra scene is written by Ted Dekker the author of the book!


This movie will leave you in suspense until is conclusion.  You can buy it very cheaply at: Amazon.  If you have Netflix, feel free to search for it there.   God bless!

Christy--DVD Recommendation

Courtesy: Christian Cinema

This dvd series which originally appeared on CBS from April 1994 to August 1995 was based on a book by the same name by author Catherine Marshall (Wikipedia).  Christy (played by Kellie Martin) leaves her home to serve in a mission in the Appalachian village called Cutter Gap in Tennessee as a school teacher.  She faces several challenges as the new teacher in Cutter Gap. She has to get used to the mountain people's way of living.  She has to find a way to win the people's trust.  She has students and parents that are against her teaching at the school.  But she doesn't have to do all these things alone.  She has her faith in God to lean on.  She also has a lady named Alice Henderson (played by Tyne Daly) as her mentor.  

It is a GREAT tv show for all ages!  It has to be one of my all time favorites!   There was a time when I wanted to be a school teacher.  This show really ministered to me and spoke to me as a born-again Christian and a then teacher-wannabe!   I think it would be great to go serve as a teacher in the mission field, especially in the mountain community! 

If you are looking for a tv show that is entertaining for both adults and kids, this is it!  You can purchase it for a reasonable price at: Amazon.
