The Least Among You (DVD) Review

This movie review is made possible by booksneeze. 
Several months ago I revcieved a DVD from booksneeze and have been meaning to post my review.


Movie Description:

Leaders are not chosen, they are called. Inspired by a true story.

Arrested in the 1965 Watts riots, Richard Kelly (Cedric Sanders) must serve probation at an all-white seminary. Although encouraged to break racial boundaries by its president Alan Beckett (William Devane), the school wants black followers not leaders. Even former missionary, Kate Allison (Lauren Holly), initially rejects Richard. A prison sentence looming, Richard meets Samuel Benton (Louis Gossett, Jr.) -- “the gardener in the basement.” As Samuel guides Richard through his many trials, Richard must choose between his dreams and his destiny.

I honestly have to say, I wasn't impressed with the movie. It wasn't at all what I expected and that's fine, but I wasn't impressed. I realize the point was to show how difficult it was for Richard Kelly and I'm sure they tried to stay true to the story, but I couldn't get into it. It felt like a snoozefest for me. I really had a difficult time forcing myself to watch it. There were several times throughout the movie I actually stopped it to do housework for a break LOL. I would recommend this movie to someone who needs to fall asleep quickly.

I rate this movie a snore, pass it by.

Review: God's Promises for Women of Faith - Jack Countryman

God's Promises for Women of Faith from Thomas Nelson Publishers is an selection of scripture passages that point out the promises of God specifically targeting women. They are grouped by inspirational topics, including: Encouragement, Teaching, Blessing, Comfort, Growth, and more. Whether for daily Scripture reading or for a quick reference, these promises will help women of faith from all walks of life to worship, pray, trust, and abide in Christ every day.

It is an excellent reference guide for any woman who wishes to better see the promises God has provided for us or for inspirational reading. At first glance, I enjoyed the cover with the ribbon detailing. I wish there would have been a ribbon for book marking as well. It is very durable and conveniently sized to take with you while traveling or to leave on your nightstand. I would reccomend this as a gift book to any woman young or old. It would be a wonderful addition to a gift basket for a celebration or to someone who just needs a reminder how wonderful and special they are.
