I was given an opportunity to review this movie and then give a copy away to one of my readers. I have to admit that I wasn't to sure if I would like this movie, but I was wrong. We all really liked it!
The movie is Abel's Field starring Kevin Sorbo and Samuel Davis.
About Abel's Field
Left motherless by tragedy and
abandoned by his father, high school senior Seth McArdle (Samuel Davis)
faces enormous pressure as he strives to support his little sisters. At
school, he endures the daily bullying of the football team. But fighting
back only finds him singled out for punishment and assigned to an
after-school work detail under the supervision of the reserved
groundskeeper, Abel (SOUL SURFER’S Kevin Sorbo). Much to his surprise,
Seth discovers that Abel may be the only one who truly understands his
struggles. As dark times lure Seth toward desperate measures, the
reluctant Abel may be the one person who can point him back toward the
light.
This movie caught our attention from the start, had us both cheering and sitting on the edge of our seat. The story was excellent, as was the acting. It's a rare movie, with a good moral and clean language. If you have the opportunity, I strongly encourage you to rent or buy this one. You can check out the trailer here. It's available on digital or DVD on January 22.
You have a chance to win this movie. Just leave a comment and I'll draw a winner on Friday.

I watched the trailer on this movie and it looks great! Might be a good movie for our church movie night (there's only about 15 people in our small church). I found your blog through Diary of a Stay at Home Mom!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a movie we would like for our Saturday movie night!
ReplyDeleteI seldom watch a movie and then like my book reading - it has to be non-fiction.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the discovery ;)
ReplyDeleteI would like to be in on the drawing.
ReplyDeleteI would love to have the movie
Thanks
This sounds like something my family would like. I'd like to share it with my nephew, too.
ReplyDeleteI would love a copy, would it be good for children 10 and 7?
ReplyDeleteHi Mari, I review books and often give them away but never have heard of being able to review movies....that is great and I'd love more info. Please enter me in this drawing too-looks like a wonderful movie.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Noreen
It looks like something my husband and I would love to watch. I like it when I get feed back on ones I've never heard of.
ReplyDeleteI would love to see this! As you know, it's hard to find good quality movies these days! This is one I have not seen yet!
ReplyDeleteI'm in! We'd all love to see it!
ReplyDeleteKevin Sorbo is in a lot of Christian movies like this. He's also in one called "What If". The story is kind of cliche where he sees what happens with his life if he had made different choices. But I really liked that movie as well (and Soul Surfer of course).
ReplyDeleteAnyway, this looks like a pretty good one as well, I'm in!
I would love to see this movie!!!
ReplyDeleteSounds awesome...I like the idea of 'clean language'. That's a rarity these days. count me in please.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great movie for the youth at church - and me!
ReplyDeleteMari I always see your name every where I go and I think this is the first time I've ever stopped by.
ReplyDeleteI came over from Raised Them Up.
I figured I better better my odds of winning a copy. LOL!
