Sandie Suggest Movies, Books and More...

I just love a great story, don’t you? The following is a list of movies, books and other resources that I believe will change hearts, impact lives and help save mothers and their children. At Pro-Life Action Network we have recently created a blog - http://pro-lifeactionnetworkblog.blogspot.com/.  On the blog, we hope to share Pro-Life books, movies, short videos, published articles and websites that have impacted us and we hope you will join the discussion and share those that have impacted you. So let’s get started…

Sandie’s Starting Six Suggestions – Movies

Tilly is based on the novel Tilly written by Frank Peretti. The story’s powerful message of God’s forgiveness promises to touch the hearts of those that have made a decision that they can never take back and the hearts of those that love them.

The Spitfire Grill which stars Ellen Burstyn, Alison Elliott and Marcia Gay Harden won the Audience Award at the 1996 Sundance Film Festival, for the telling of the redemption story in which a women who has just spent the last five years in prison, makes Gilead, Maine, a town with no future, her new home.  The Spitfire Grill is rated PG-13 and is 116 minutes in length.

In Romance Without Regret Jason and Crystalina Evert answer questions such as: How do I find love? What am I suppose to do about temptations? How do I start over and regain purity? It is a sure conversation starter with teens and parents.

Life After Abortion: Countless women have been overwhelmed by post abortion trauma, resulting in fear, anxiety, pain and guilt. Many suffer in silence for years after they realize the full toll of their choice. From desperation to devastation to deliverance, Life After Abortion takes an honest look at the undeniable impact abortion has had on real people, as told by those who experienced them.

A Distant Thunder is a Kip Perry production. In this 35-minute religious thriller from writer/director Jonathan Flora, Ann Brown (Deborah Flora) is a prosecutor who finds herself involved in a terrifying supernatural case that will challenge everything she thought she knew about the world. It has been described as chilling, provocative, engrossing, terrifying and convincing.

Thine Eyes: A Witness to the March for Life successfully captures the spirit of the annual March for Life in D.C. and compares the pro-life marches of the 21st Century to the Civil Rights marches of the 1960's.  Its focus allows young people to discover the meaning of the "naked public square" and the urgent need to engage their culture with the values of the Gospel. This documentary strongly motivates the viewer to become part of the pro-life movement!
