“You will keep him perfect peace
whose mind is steadfast on You,
because he trusts in You.”
Isaiah 26:3

“No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man.
God is faithful and He will not let you be tempted beyond your ability,
but with the temptation He will also provide the way of escape,
that you may be able to endure it.”
1 Corinthians 10:13

Audrey Bunny - Book Review and Giveaway

I realize that a book review is a bit out of the ordinary for a blog about the Christian film industry, but this isn't just any book!

The young lady who did the illustrations for this book is also one of the people interviewed for the upcoming documentary that I have been helping with, Awakened.

This beautifully illustrated book has a touching story of learning to accept the way God made us, and that imperfections aren't accidents.

Book 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.

"Awakened" - The Documentary

Another project that I have been heavily involved with this year is the upcoming feature length documentary, Awakened! Even though the intended audience is young ladies ages 11-16, I believe this film has a timely and relevant message for everyone!

Filming is almost done, and editing and other post productions is under way.

Synopsis

"In today’s culture young girls are besieged with distorted views of love from movie theaters, laptops and even Christian bookstores. We are easily awakened to impassioned desires during the most potentially fruitful years of our lives.

Is it normal to be mentally engulfed in a saga of boys, crushes, and romantic daydreams that are presented as being inseparable from young adulthood? How do we handle infatuations, and God-given longings for marriage?

The world beckons us to follow our hearts; God commands us to guard them, but how?

Awakened follows the joy seen by generations of women who are disciplining their hearts and minds and the steadfast men who lead and encourage them to enjoy the intimacy Christ wishes for every young lady."
