Check out the music video for his song "Sky Spills Over" below.  Here's a quote from Michael W. Smith about this video:

"I’m really passionate about the song SKY SPILLS OVER. It was fun creating it in the studio and I’ve been overwhelmed at the response it gets when we perform it live every night. My son Ryan is a really talented filmmaker so I always enjoy working with him on a project. But what made this project even more special was that 3 of my own grandkids were in the video. This video was a lot of fun to make. I hope people enjoy it!"

I'm happy to tell you about a really great movie we watched recently entitled 23 Blast.  This is a great movie that is based on a true story about a high school football star that really is as brave as they come.  Sadly he contracts an infection that causes blindness - overnight.  As scary as that is and with the help of his parents, coaches, and friends he goes on to continue to play football.  This is an emotional movie about perseverance and I loved every minute of it!  Pick up your copy of 23 Blast today!  This is a great family friendly film - perfect for life lessons for your kiddos!

Movie Synopsis:

Rated PG-13 (brief drinking of alcohol on school property)  / 1h 42m

As a typical teenager, Travis Freeman (Mark Hapka) is a local hero both on and off the high-school football field in his small Kentucky town, but in 1997, Travis contracts an infection that destroys his optic nerve and renders him blind overnight. With the loving help and concern of his parents, physical therapist, coach and best friend, Travis demonstrates what true bravery is: He continues to compete on the gridiron and helps his team advance to the state finals.

Tomorrow a great movie will be coming out to Blu-ray and DVD entitled The Identical!  My family and I were given a review copy of this film and we had a great time watching it together.  It is the story about a man who is the son of a preacher and doesn't want to follow in the footsteps of his father.  Instead he wants to be a rock singer.  This movie reminds us of Elvis!  The main character uncovers a family secret and finds out that he is not really who he thinks he is.  I don't want to give it all away so you will have to see it for yourself!  This was a heart warming movie and my family and I enjoyed watching it.  I am a fan of Ashley Judd and I thought she was great in this film!  Pick up your copy of The Identical today!

   

Movie Synopsis:

The Identical, starring Ray Liotta, Ashley Judd, Seth Green, and Blake Rayne is a redemptive movie about a young man, the son of a preacher, who rejects his father’s desire for him to join the ministry and instead embarks on a career as a rock singer. As he struggles to pursue his dream and rise to stardom, he finds love, pain, success, failure and ultimately uncovers a hidden family secret that reveals who he really us. The Identical is a captivating story about a family restored and a life discovered that lifts your soul and warms your heart.

***This is a sponsored post,  I was given the product(s) mentioned in exchange for this review.  All opinions are my own!

I love reading to my kids.  It's prime time for snuggles!  Recently I was given a beautiful book to review with my children entitled "Audrey Bunny" by Angie Smith.  It's a beautiful story about a toy bunny who is never picked because she has a mark on her chest.  One day she is picked and she does everything she can so that the girl never sees the mark and thinks she isn't perfect.  This is a very well written children's book and my kids have asked to read it numerous times.

 

Synopsis:

From best-selling women’s author Angie Smith (I Will Carry You, Mended) comes this sweet children’s book about a stuffed animal named Audrey Bunny who fears her imperfections make her unworthy of a little girl’s love. She'll learn the truth soon enough, and young readers will learn that everyone is special and wonderfully made by God.

[Also included]: The Parent Connection (last page of the book) shares discussion questions and activities reinforcing God's love for us.

Angie Smith is the wife of Todd Smith (lead singer of Dove Award winning group Selah), best-selling author of Mended, I Will Carry You, and What Women Fear, and one of the most popular speakers and blog writers in the country. She holds a Master’s degree in Developmental Psychology from Vanderbilt University and lives with her husband and daughters in Nashville, TN.

"Alone Yet Not Alone" By Tracy Lenininger Craven Book Review and Giveaway! - CLOSED!

**This is a sponsored post.  I was given the product(s) mentioned in exchange for this review.

Last month I received a great book to review.  It is a faith based novel entitled: Alone Yet Not Alone: Their Faith Became Their Freedom by Tracy Leininger Craven.  I read this book with my daughter Bella and we loved this truly endearing story.  It is based on a true story of a family that is separated in the cross fires of the French and Indian War.  This book really humbled me and made the problems in my life seem small.  Bella really related with the older sister Barbara.  I would highly recommend this book.  It is an excellent read.  It's a great one for tweens and teens to read as well.  I love that there are discussion questions in the back.  Bella and I enjoyed the discussion and it was nice for her to raise questions about the story.  I was pleased to find out that a movie is being made from the basis of this novel!

 

This movie will hit theaters on September 27, 2013!  You can find more information about the film here.  You can also view the trailer below.

   

About Alone Yet Not Alone (novelization):

Settled in the Blue Mountains of Pennsylvania, deep within America's new frontier, the Leininger family celebrates the blessings of a beautiful homestead and bountiful harvest. That is, until tragedy strikes with the beginning of the French and Indian War and the devastating raid known as the Penn's Creek Massacre. 

The lives of this simple, God-fearing family are forever altered when Barbara and Regina, two young sisters, are carried away by the Delaware tribe. Driven by their faith in God and the powerful bonds of family, Barbara and Regina hold firmly to the belief that they are never alone, even in their darkest hour, and that they will be reunited again. 

Rich in historical details, Alone Yet Not Alone is an inspirational, true story of a family caught in the cross fire of the French and Indian War. 

About The Author: 

Tracy Leininger Craven loves history and retelling real-life stories in her historical fiction books. She also loves spending her free time in the great outdoors with her husband David and their four children.
