Thanks for the ping.....we'll be looking for it.

Hey Gretchen! Thanks for the ping. We saw this movie the weekend it opened--had to support our fellow Georgians. While I don't think anyone would mistake this movie for a high budget Hollywood film, it is certainly well worth seeing. In fact, tomorrow my children will be seeing it with their classmates--the whole upper school (middle and high school) is going to see the movie in the morning.

I was amazed the night we went to see Facing the Giants that 3 of the previews had to do with Jesus! I am looking for ward to the Queen Esther movie as well as The Nativity. Thanks again!

We saw the "Facing the Giants" this past Saturday afternoon. While there were not loads in our viewing time (4:00 p.m.)there was quite the crown waiting to come in as we left.

It was a wonderful, inspiring movie with excellent photography, editing, sound tracks and very good acting, about high school football and yet so much more. There is something in it for every age and sex and especially those of you freepers who enjoy the game.

As to the previews of coming attractions, I had the opportunity to see both the "One Night with the King", given a thumbs up by Abraham Foxman (who hated the Passion of the Christ) as well as "The Nativity Story". The visuals on both were breathtakingly beautiful.

My husband and I rarely go to movies, but this is one that we will definitely want to see. Thanks for the post.

I saw this movie this weekend with my wife, my 10 yr. old son and his friend. The movie was awesome. I cannot recommend it enough.
While the film and sound quality isn't like a big budget blockbuster, the content is. As the movie progresses, it just keeps getting better and better. The scriptwriter did a fantastic job with continually hitting us with good feelings on top of good feelings.
God is praised throughout the movie and the action is fun to watch.
Four words for you.....GO SEE THE MOVIE

I would tell you more, but I don't want to spoil anything.

It did not come to either of our small town local theaters. Do you know when it will be out on DVD, because I will surely buy a copy. Thank you very much.

I just saw it this past weekend at the regular theater. Should be awhile before it gets to DVD status. When it does, I'm buying it.

I got a Family Christian Stores sale catalog in the mail the other day. It shows that Facing the Giants is coming to DVD on January 30th. If you have FCS in your area, check them out because they are running a DVD pre-buy special: Buy the DVD for the sale price of $19.97 (regularly $24.99) and get the soundtrack ($13.99 value) for free. FCS always overprices its DVDs, but with the sale price and free soundtrack, this deal should surely beat whatever Wal-Mart or Target has to offer. My catalog's prices on most items are good through December 2nd; it doesn't say if the same date applies to the Facing the Giants pre-buy, though.

I can't wait to see this movie again!

Thank you very much for your kind consideration. I went to their website and placed my order.

Great! Enjoy it. I've got to get on the ball with that, myself. :o)
