Abel's Field:  Christian Family-friendly DVD giveaway

1/18/2013

12 Comments

 
Picture
    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.
    It's hard to find DVDs for families to not only enjoy, but learn something from.  This new release, Abel's Field, is a keeper in our book...and in our DVD collection.   :)

    Abel's Field moves at a slightly different pace than some of the more recent Christian movies we've seen, but we all enjoyed watching it.  My heart just ached for this young man, Seth (Samuel Davis), who is struggling so hard to keep his family together despite having no parents in the home. 

    Now, while the movie trailer, below, looks like this movie is all about football - it isn't.  Yes, there are a few brief scenes of a football game on the field, but 98% of the movie is about Seth's daily life.  So for the sports nut, you'll find a bit in there for you, and for the romantic and the adventurer, you'll find what you're looking for as well!

     And see these adorable twin girls?  You're going to enjoy the movie just from watching these two twin girls!  Oh, my!  :)  They're dolls!

Picture
    I feel blessed to be able to give away one brand new copy of Abel's Field to one of you!

    This is a movie I'll enjoy watching more than once, so I'm glad that I have my own copy.  Sorry, I'm not sharing!  :)



It's now that JOYful time of the blog post where I'm able to give away one copy of Abel's Field!

    To enter this giveaway, you'll need to live in the United States - and be 18 years of age or older.  Use the Rafflecopter form, below, to enter the giveaway in the various methods of entry you wish to use.  Leaving a comment in the "comments" section, below - but not clicking on the Rafflecopter form - will not be considered a method of entry...just so you know.  I will be validating the winning entry, to confirm that the entrant completed the requirements of the giveaway method he or she chose.  If you choose to enter one of the entry methods by subscribing to an email subscription from Joy In Our Journey, please check your email inbox/spam folder for a confirmation email from Joy In Our Journey/Feedburner to confirm that you have indeed signed up as a free subscriber.  You'll need to click on that email link to confirm that you are now a subscriber.    Email subscribers will want to click back to the original post to enter the giveaway.

I just watched October Baby with my 14 year old daughter. What an amazing story of forgiveness and redemption! My only complaint was that God was so downplayed in the movie.

I love Flywheel, Courageous, Fireproof, Facing the Giants. We watched all 4 in about 4 days when my MIL was visiting over Christmas. She hadn't seen them so really enjoyed them! But for me, even though I've watched them multiple times (my kids LOVE them), they are pretty emotional. By the end of the 4th day, I actually had to SKIP watching the last one because of that! Makes me laugh now thinking about it. :-)
