Unstoppable-a movie review and giveaway

Cover 1
 
Where is God in the midst of tragedy and suffering?  If you've ever cried out to God asking this question or quietly wondered why? This would be a great movie for you to watch, it's bold and will help you gird up the very foundation of your faith.
 
It starts out very sad so if you have young children or children that are very sensitive you might not want them to watch it with you.  Makenzie (my 13 year old) watched with me and really liked it, but I know Kylan (my 12 year old) would have been so upset that he wouldn't have been able to finish it.  The movie starts off talking about the death of a child and WHY did this happen? Kirk Cameron visually documents his journey to find out "Why bad things happen to good people."


Here's a trailer if you haven't had the opportunity to see it yet.
 

 
About the DVD:
ABOUT UNSTOPPABLE


Inspired by the death of Cameron’s close friend
 who succumbed to cancer at the age of 15, Kirk Cameron takes viewers on an inspiring and
 hope-filled visual journey to better understand the biggest doubt-raising question in faith:
“Where is God in the midst of tragedy and
suffering?”

Going back to the beginning—literally—Kirk investigates the origins of good and evil and how they impact our lives … and our eternities. UNSTOPPABLE will prompt audiences to consider the role that pain and suffering has in our lives, as they affirm their personal views on faith, and encourage conversation starters about God, suffering, and hope. 

In theaters for only two weeknights
  (Sept 24th and Oct 3th, 2013), 
UNSTOPPABLE: A Live Event with Kirk
  Cameron sold a staggering 260,000 tickets and reached a theatrical gross of over $3.2 million dollars. In just two nights this independent project sent a loud message – audiences want thought-provoking and meaningful entertainment.   

Kirk Cameron is best known for his memorable role as “Mike Seaver,” a cultural icon of the 80's, with his mullet hairstyle, cool glasses, and wisecracking comebacks. More recently he enjoyed much success with the No. 1 grossing inspirational film of 2008, Fireproof, and his recent documentary, Monumental. Kirk and his wife, Chelsea, were on-screen sweethearts during their Growing Pains years and are the founders of Camp Firefly, where terminally and seriously ill children and their families are provided an all-expense paid retreat (www.CampFirefly.com). Together, Kirk and
 Chelsea live in California with their six children.

"It's easy to get excited about your faith when things are going well in your life. But when your whole world comes crashing down on you, the questions start: 'Where is God when I need him most? Why do bad things happen to good people?' UNSTOPPABLE is a journey, based on a true story, that has become the most personal and transparent project I have ever made regarding my faith. Together, in hundreds of theaters across America, we will discover with our eyes wide open, that life is stronger than death, good is stronger than evil, and faith is stronger than doubt."

I would like to see where Kirk's journey of grief took him. This past year we have been our own grief journey after multiple losses in our family. I'm confident that this dvd will be a blessing to any family.
