Alone Yet Not Alone, spectacular movie



Based on a terrifying yet true story Alone Yet Not Alone is a riveting historical drama with stunning cinematography and an inspiring message of faith.

In 1755 a devout Christian family from Germany arrives in America with hopes to build a new life and practice their faith freely. Amidst severe hardships, they finally settle in the Pennsylvania colony where they strengthen their roots as a family through prayer and frequent Bible reading together. But they are soon caught in the crossfire of the French and American-Indian War and attacked. Amidst the violence, two of the children, sisters Barbara and Regina, are abducted and separated.

The girls are brutally enslaved by the Indians. They also suffer from adverse conditions in the harsh Ohio wilderness. But the greatest pain is that the girls are separated. Barbara is especially plagued by the fact that she’d promised to always be there for Regina. Heartbroken and scared, somehow she continues to cling to the Lord and hope.

Full of tension, tenderness and unexpected twists, this spectacular film has a powerful message about God’s faithfulness. Starring Kelly Grayson as the older BarbaraLeininger, Natalie Racoosin as young Barbara, and a plethora of other fine actors, Alone Yet Not Alone is a must-see.

Find out more about the film on the Facebook page here or on the website.

Alone Yet Not Alone is a fabulous movie and a DVD well worth buying.

The American Patriot's Bible



The American Patriot’s Bible – The Word of God and The Shaping of America, NKJV provides a historical overlook of America’s heritage. This delightful book is laced with inspiring accounts and powerful quotes underscoring how the faith of our forefathers shaped America—all strategically woven within the pages of the Bible.

The Bible is an easy-to-use tool with special features including: full-color family record section, a list of godly values that birthed America, appealing layout and artwork, presidents’ photos, a section on monuments and their inspiring inscriptions citing the forefathers adherence to biblical values . . .

The stories in this Bible—and the way they intertwined with Scripture—moved me profoundly.

I see only two weaknesses: First, I noticed some typos. Second, some evangelicals may shun this Bible because of where the President Obama’s picture is placed—in the same section as Martin Luther King. Although most would agree that the election of a partially black president is the historical fulfillment of Dr. King’s fight for racial equality, others would argue that present governmental policies are far removed from the kind of freedom King advocated, and thus consider the placement of the two men in the same section controversial and confusing. Hopefully, though, people won’t let this deprive them of owning a book worthy of any household library.
