The Christmas Candle

Nothing compares to a cozy Christmas story at this time of year—especially when it takes place in a quaint village in Victorian England.

The Christmas Candle by best-selling author Max Lucado takes place in one of my favority parts of England -- the Cotswolds. In the heart of the Cotswolds, in Gladstone, life consists of hard work, tradition and cobblestone streets. But for Edward Haddington, a humble candle maker, life takes on a new meaning when he receives a mysterious visit from an angel—a visit that will not only change his life but the lives of everyone in the community. And it will renew the jading faith of the new preacher.

Unconditional, the movie

Unconditional is a film you don’t want to miss—unless you’re scared of having your heartstrings pulled on that is. And it’s in theaters this weekend.

Unconditional is a story of tragedy and redemption drawn from the true-life testimony of Papa Joe Bradford from Tennessee but also focusing on Samantha Crawford and the untimely and unresolved death of her husband, Billy.

Sam’s idyllic life as a promising writer and gifted artist, and as a much-in-love young wife on a ranch in Tennessee, is smashed to pieces by the murder of her husband, Billy—a tragedy that rips away her faith and her very will to live.
