Since watching Forever Strong last year, I have become a fan of Bridgestone Multimedia Group's movies. It seems each of their Christian-based movies that I am sent to review become a family favorite. Here are just a handful of movies we have recently enjoyed watching:
Synopsis: Four Christian teens struggle to keep a promise to remain righteous and pure in The Young Believers.
Bound to a mutual pact to avoid drinking, drugs, and premarital sex
throughout high school, longtime friends Delilah, David, Leah, and Luke
run into temptation and trouble in their senior year. First, Delilah
faces pressure from her boyfriend to take their relationship to another
level. Then, David must decide whether or not to try alcohol. Next, Leah
refuses to open her heart during her parents' divorce, and Luke is
lured into playing music that doesn't glorify God.As they pray together and discuss God's will for their lives, the friends realize that arming themselves with faith is their best defense in the battle against sin. Awarded The Dove Foundation's Family-Approved Seal, The Young Believers portrays a realistic struggle to overcome peer pressure and encourages adolescents and teens to fight temptation and tough times by building a strong moral foundation and remaining grounded to their roots in Christ.

first episode, journey with Finley and the band as they learn that being
God's children means being free to be themselves and being loved beyond
measure. When a neighbor boy takes a joke a little too far, Finley must
choose either to respond in love or hold a grudge. In search of a
solution, his musical friends send him on a great adventure, full of
salty sailors, dancing fish, and a pirate that plays the accordion.A faith-based children's DVD series, The Flizbins: Pirates & Cupcakes follows four energetic musicians who jam together with songs about their identity in Christ and learn faith-based lessons alongside Finley, a furry orange puppet who lives in a tree fort.

superheroes.Starring a cool band full of catchy songs and moral messages, The Flizbins is an award-winning children's show that features live action characters and a furry puppet named Finley.

It was hard to choose a favorite from the above titles, as they were all enjoyable to watch. I enjoyed watching Savannah dance along to the two The Flizbins DVD. Even though she is too young to understand the messages these two titles were relaying about self worth and loving on purpose, I know that as she gets older she will have a greater appreciation and love for these titles, as much as she likes dancing along to the catchy songs. I found myself really getting pulled into the Time Collectors movie, and found myself on the edge of my seat at homes, rooting for Maria and Brad. I can't wait to see what comes next from Bridgestone Multimedia Group, as I know we will be entertained. So, if you are looking for a movie to enjoy with the family this weekend, why not give one of these titles a try? It is a great way to bring the children (young and old) together, and many films offer an opportunity to discuss core values afterwards. :-)
