Facing The Giants – Review

This is one of the most inspirational movies that I have watched. It does not take a huge company to produce a movie that will touch many people. This movie was made by a small church in the south. It was directed by Alex Kendrick and the writers were Alex and Stephen Kendrick. While this movie may not be top of the line professional movie, it had a very good message. I think that this reached so many people because it was simple and many people could relate to it. We all face trials and tribulations. Coach Taylor faced many obstacles in his life. He was not making a lot of money, his job was in jeopardy, his home and car were falling apart, and to make matters worse his wife and he could not have children. Most people would have given up, and never tried to look at the positive side of things. Coach Taylor was not putting all his trust in God, and was trying to take things into his own hands. Once he trusted and gave everything completely to God, everything seemed to turn for the better. I have experienced this in my very own life. I find that, when I do not include God into my daily life everything seems to be going wrong. But as soon as I start spending time with him, and letting him work in my life everything starts to get better. It is always hard as humans to give up our future, our life, and everything else into Gods hands. We like to be in control, and at times when we give it all to him we feel out of control. But we need to remember that with him everything is possible. There is not a single thing that we cannot do if we trust in him, and give ourselves and everything we do to him.
