Book Review: As I Have Loved You

By Roseanna White of CRoB      

Novel by Nikki Arana
Wow.  Really, that’s the first word that springs to mind when you ask me to sum up Nikki Arana’s new release, As I Have Loved You.  She grabbed me in the prologue, when she parts the misty veil between heaven and earth and reveals the plan of God in one boy’s life, and she kept me hooked until the last page.  This book made me cry—which is a real feat—and kept me thinking for days on end.

Movie Review: The Inheritance

By Donald James Parker   

I was buying things online a couple of months ago and saw a special price on a movie that looked interesting.  My family jokes that I'll buy anything that's marked down (although there is no truth to the rumor that I once bought an escalator).  I did not pass up the bargain and the movie was ordered, arrived, and sat around my house for a month.  One Sunday afternoon I finally got around to watching it.  A déjà vu feeling hit me immediately.  Could I have seen this flick already?   I shrugged it off and continued watching.  Suddenly a scene came on that I distinctly remembered.  Darn.  I had bought a movie I'd already seen.  By this time I was into it, so I continued watching and enjoying.

Movie Review: The Last Sin Eater

By David Mackey  

This movie is based upon a novel by Francine Rivers, a prolific Christian author. It was directed by Michael Landon Jr., best known as the "son of Michael Landon" – that is, Pa in Little House on the Prairie. He has established himself in his own right as a successful director with four movies released through Hallmark based upon novels by Janette Oake (Love Comes Softly, Loves Enduring Promise, etc.). Sadly, The Last Sin Eater fails to keep up with this proud heritage.

Movie Review: Mercy Streets

By Donald James Parker  

Double trouble rules the day in this story of twin brothers who go separate ways in life.  One is trying to be ordained as a pastor, and the other is trying to pull a con on a violent con-man and his bumbling associate.  Mistaken Identity Syndrome hits, as usual in stories involving twins, as the good brother is mistaken for the bad one and vice versa.  Talk about culture shock–for both of them.
