"Faith-Based" films
I'd like to say that I am optimistic about the growing number of faith based films in Hollywood, but I am not. At lease not the ones being promoted.
The term "faith based" is correct. These films, or at least the ones already produced and named in this article, are loosely based on Biblical accounts. They start with the Biblical accounts but then sacrifice the foundation and Truth for high budget FX and box office numbers. Don't get me wrong, I am happy that Hollywood is allowing faith films to penetrate their empty, rude and sex driven culture. I just pray that after watching these films, people go deeper, in some of these films cases, much deeper and find the saving grace and mercy of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Some fantastic faith based films that were not mentioned are ones like Facing the Giants, Courageous, Fire Proof and also What If staring Kevin Sorbo. Please check these out.
Any thoughts?
