A Case for Heaven Review and Giveaway
Disclosure: Many thanks to Pure Flix for providing a sample of the product for this review. Opinions are 100% my own.
We are taken through some of the history of near-death experiences (NDE) and how they can be proven/disproven. From there, we get to meet and hear from people who had a NDE and from those who have studies NDE. I was so fascinated by the stories and the way scripture was dove-tailed into the stories. Lee Strobel has never been afraid to tackle controversial subjects, and this is no different. I appreciated hearing both sides of the argument. For those who don't know, Lee Strobel is a best-selling author and former atheist turned Christian apologist.
Synopsis: We all want to know what happens after we die. In THE CASE FOR HEAVEN, best-selling author and investigative journalist Lee Strobel explores the evidence for the afterlife in order to address man’s biggest fear: death. Inspired by his own brush with death, Strobel searches for answers to the most profound questions we all have, about heaven, hell, and Near-Death Experiences. Featuring interviews with experts and skeptics, THE CASE FOR HEAVEN will challenge, encourage and inspire as Strobel dares to probe the most important question. If there is a heaven, can we prove it?
Lee Strobel says, "Viewers will be surprised, captivated and encouraged by 'The Case for Heaven,' a beautiful and compelling film. It will dispel many of their misconceptions about the afterlife. I’m thrilled with the enthusiastic reception the documentary has received so far – and I can't wait for an even wider audience to experience it." I think everyone will enjoy seeing the interviews with best-selling author John Burke, world-renowned pastor Francis Chan, the late Evangelist Luis Palau and more.

Tyson's Run Film Review and Giveaway
Disclosure: I was allowed to preview this film in exchange for my review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Tyson's Run is releasing March 11th, 2022 in theaters nationwide. I was very excited to see this movie as the main character, Tyson, is a teenager on the autism spectrum. As a mom of a teen on the autism spectrum, I wanted to make sure the autism mom voice was heard. I was amazed by the sensitivity shown in the movie--even when dealing with tough themes.
The movie's main focus is Tyson trying to get the approval of his father. I think everyone has felt at one point or another as if they didn't measure up to the standard set by their parents. Tyson is no different, but his autism does sometimes bring a large spotlight on potential disapproval. Some of the scenes where Tyson is trying to make his way and show his father his potential were a little tough for me to watch as I have seen this happen sometimes with other families of teens with autism. It was raw and it was real, but I think others need to see that glimpse into the world of autism and special needs. With autism rates now 1 in 44, we are at a point where everyone knows someone with autism.
The portrayal of the bullying that happens to kids with autism and other special needs was difficult to watch, I appreciated the movie showing the second half of the story. We found that when our son was bullied, there was almost always a kind-hearted person who saw beyond the autism to truly see our son as the wonderful person he is. Those people may not have become best friends with our son, but we knew they always had his back. It is my hope that each of us strives to raise a kind and caring child (like Shannon in the movie) who will stand up for injustice and show kindness.
The movie features the song If you Believe. It is an original song recorded by four-time Grammy Award-winning Gospel Singer Yolanda Adams. It is beautiful and fits the movie perfectly. This movie overall was one I'd like to watch again and again. Finding a family friendly movie is not always easy but this movie about determination, grit, and faith fit the bill perfectly.

Synopsis:
When fifteen-year-old Tyson attends public school for the first time, his life is changed forever. While helping his father clean up after the football team, Tyson befriends champion marathon runner Aklilu. Never letting his autism hold him back, Tyson becomes determined to run his first marathon in hopes of winning his father's approval.
With the help of an unlikely friend and his parents, Tyson learns that with faith in yourself and the courage to take the first step, anything is possible.

Pure Flix Vindication Season 2 Review and Giveaway
Season Two of Vindication has been released on Pure Flix. The Pure Flix original series comes back in season two with more gripping stories and events that challenge the viewer to think beyond themselves and see some of the bigger picture. While I've watched the entire Season 1 and Season 2, I was asked to report on Season 2, Episode 10 "The Chief."
Without giving spoilers, I'm going to say it was quite the season finale. I was on the edge of my seat for the episode. There are a lot of sub-themes coming to the climax of this season. Episode 10 is taking on parts of the themes from the entire season--drug overdose, incarceration, racial inequality, sexual assault, and more. While Detective Travis is one of the top two contenders for Chief of Police, there is a lot of politicking going on. Travis has to decide what he really wants in his life. Is he after the promotion and the role of Chief?
The ending leaves us with a cliffhanger of sorts. I won't spoil it but I can't wait for Season 3 to come out. It won't be soon enough for me and I'll be first online to watch.
About Vindication:
Vindication is a unique crime drama series that alters the perception of faith-based entertainment. Detective Travis (Todd Terry, Breaking Bad) has spent 15 years solving cases in the small town of East Bank, Texas. When the addition of an eager trainee upends his routine, Travis is forced to adjust his ways while balancing a growing number of suspiciously consistent cases. At home, tensions between the cynical detective and his devoutly religious wife escalate when their estranged daughter returns home.

Raffi's Baby Beluga turns 40 - Celebrate and enter to Win
Can you believe it? Baby Beluga, the beloved song by children's artist Raffi is turning 40 this year. I remember singing this with/to my children when they were young. Raffi was one of the few children's artists that I could listen to over and over without wanting to pull my hair out. And 40 years later, I still love listening to Raffi. I look forward to someday (in the distant future) getting to share his songs with my grandchildren.
Raffi wanted to celebrate with a new video to celebrate little Baby Beluga. Raffi invited parents to submit their child's hand drawn artwork to create this heart-warming music video which features a few animated surprises. The submissions came from children of all ages and ability levels, as well as a few from "BelugaGrads."
And for Baby Beluga fans everywhere, I'm giving away a copy of the original Baby Beluga CD. Keep reading for your chance to win.

Lindsay Munroe’s First Kids’ Album: I Am Kind Review and Giveaway
This is the first Troubadour album featuring an artist other than Raffi in decades. Munroe is a lifelong fan of Raffi’s music. In June 2019, she and her youngest daughter attended Raffi’s concert in Worcester, MA. Meeting Raffi backstage, Lindsay was delighted when he said he was a fan of her “Sing Along with Lindsay” videos on YouTube. Over time, Raffi enjoyed hearing Lindsay’s original children’s songs, inspired by her own kids, and he suggested that she record an album. She agreed and was thrilled when Raffi offered to produce it.Raffi suggested that Munroe’s album include children’s classics like “This Little Light of Mine” and “Frère Jacques,” as well as Raffi’s own signature tunes “The More We Get Together” and “De Colores.” Munroe’s love of traditional folk music is reflected in the tracks “Peace Like a River” and “Bluebird Bluebird.” Raffi’s familiar voice and his playing (guitar, ukulele, electric piano, bongos, and train whistle) enrich this album, and the energetic voices of Munroe’s three children add to the feeling of joining a sing-along with family and friends. Raffi says that Munroe “brings traditional songs to life with charm and a calm energy, just right for kids.”Munroe is a passionate advocate of diversity and inclusion, whose singalong sessions delight youngsters at libraries and preschools near her home in Massachusetts. A self-taught multi-instrumentalist and mother of three children with autism, she found inspiration in the Raffi Foundation’s online course in Child Honouring. Her songs reflect the Child Honouring principles of Respectful Love, Diversity, Caring Community, Emotional Intelligence, and Nonviolence.Indeed, positivity and hope exude the title track “I Am Kind” and “Every One of Us Belongs.” With her golden voice and singalong melodies, Munroe offers both inspiration and practical tools for all children, including those who are neurodiverse.
If you'd like to see the weekly activity sheets or listen to a sampling of the new album, please visit Lindsay Munroe's website and download and listen.Research shows that music can help people with autism to improve skills in areas such as communication, sensory issues, behavior, cognition, perceptual/motor skills, and self-reliance. Deeply sensitive to special needs children, Munroe speaks directly to those who may need a little encouragement. As Raffi notes, songs such as “Ok to Make Mistakes” and “Waiting Nicely” are “positive affirmations that kids can internalize for those times they might need a melodic reminder that they are indeed capable people. With the current emphasis in education on social and emotional learning and on inclusion, Lindsay’s songs are a gift to the emotional intelligence in the social and playful learning of children in their early years.”
