The Hill - In Theaters starting Aug. 25
Ready for a awesome movie! Bring your family to see this inspiring movie in theaters starting 8/25! This is very clean, family oriented movie. No foul language. There are a few smoking scenes. I was a little upset that they had to have them smoking in the church building during church service while the pastor was preaching.
The theme throughout the movie Never give up on hope!
This is a very inspirational and encouraging movie. I was so encouraged by this movie. It is so hard to find a good movie that isn't corrupted by the world's views and what they want to push on everyone as being Biblical and right way of life.
Synopsis: Growing up impoverished in small-town Texas, young Rickey Hill shows an extraordinary ability for hitting a baseball, despite being burdened by leg braces from a degenerative spinal disease. His stern, pastor father (DENNIS QUAID) discourages Rickey from playing baseball to protect him from injury, and to have him follow in his footsteps and become a preacher. As a young man, Rickey (COLIN FORD) becomes a baseball phenomenon. His desire to participate in a try-out for a legendary major league scout divides the family and threatens Rickey’s dream of playing professional baseball.
Based on a true story, THE HILL is directed by Jeff Celentano and also stars JOELLE CARTER, country music singer and songwriter RANDY HOUSER,
Golden Globe nominee BONNIE BEDELIA, and SCOTT GLENN.

Promise of the Heat by Susan Berry
Inside the Book
Title: PROMISE OF THE HEART
Author: Susan Berry
Publisher: Independent
Pages: 203
Genre: Clean Romance
Book Blurb:
After a
distasteful first meeting, and a rocky start to their romance, Maggie
Kinsley has
been happily married to Desmond for the last eleven months.
And although she was often alone when he traveled for business, she
rather enjoyed how he passionately greeted her when returning home.
So when he received a letter naming him as executor of a property that belonged to a deceased family friend and had to leave for a few weeks, Maggie should have been content as she kissed him goodbye. But there was something about the whole thing that made her uneasy. Why was Desmond so evasive with her when she asked him about the previous owner. And why had he insisted she not tell anyone of his plans to stay on the property. Maggie soon found the answers to her questions were more than just a woman’s intuition, but rather something that not even her wildest, darkest fears could have foreseen.
“I so enjoyed the long awaited final book to the trilogy the author so lovingly created. Maggie’s story has a wonderful ending and she’ll be in my heart and mind for a long time.” – Amazon

Meet the Author
Since Susan Berry was a young girl, she loved to write. Her imagination was filled with stories that she couldn’t write down fast enough. But it wasn’t until her grandmother had given her a Harlequin romance novel to occupy her time on a long, boring car ride, that she fell in love with reading romance. The excitement of the characters first meeting, and the dance of the heart that followed, left Susan frantically turning pages. From that day on, Susan spent her free time with her beloved grandmother, reading the latest novels they’d retrieved from a used book store, or the local second hand shop. That reading eventually turned into the writing of her own romance novels. Novels filled with characters who have not yet found love, but eventually find a way to overcome romantic troubles with humor, wit, and the consumption of lots and lots of chocolate.
Susan’s latest book is the clean romance suspense, Promise of the Heart.

About the Author
Cheryl Carpinello taught high school English for 25 years. During that time, she worked with
numerous students who didn’t like to read for a variety of reasons. However, she discovered that
even the most reluctant readers became engaged in the classroom and in reading when she
introduced units on King Arthur and the works of ancient world writers. Upon retiring, she set
out to write fast-paced, action-filled stories in these setting to encourage young readers to read
more. Her success with readers aged 8-16 led her to reach out to the youngest of readers and
those readers just starting out. Revising stories she had written for her own children, she
created Grandma/Grandpa’s Tales for ages 4-7. Her four grandchildren's conversations
created the stories in Book 3 of this series.

laugh-out-loud comedy that will touch the hearts and tickle the funny
bones of every family member from eight to eighty.

When We Last Spoke movie with giveaway
When We Last Spoke is a movie based on a book by Marci Henna. It is is a heartwarming story of faith, family, and forgiveness. It recently won award(s) at the Crown Awards at the National Religious Broadcasters 2021 Christian Media Convention for: best picture, best narrative, and best supporting actor just to name a few. Some of the cast include: Melissa Gilbert (Little House on the Prairie), Cloris Leachman, and Corbin Bernsen.
I so totally enjoyed this movie. Juliette and Evangeline will keep you laughing and bring you to tears. There are ups and downs in every family and these two sisters are no different. They quickly find themselves having to adjust to family life with grandparents and their father is deployed to Vietnam and their mother farms them off to grandparents. Together they learn to overcome uncertainty and heartbreak.
It is an excellent movie for the whole family to watch. It has humor, battles won (triumphs) and upsets (heartbreaks). This is a movie that you'll want to watch over and over again.
You may watch the film on Amazon Prime or visit our website to find all the ways to view this
powerful movie with the whole family.
