Once again my friends at Grace
Hill Media have reached out asking people to blog about a movie that releases
this week across multiple platforms. They’ve
also promised me a gift card that I can give to one lucky reader (selected at
random later this week from among those who comment on the blog (or FB or
Twitter)
And if you really feel lucky, you’’ want to watch the trailer
and then enter the contest to be eligible for a trip for 4 to Rome (Italy, not
NY or any of the other states with a city of the same name) with a tour of the
Vatican.
Summer means a slew of big blockbusters featuring the biggest Hollywood stars. But this summer, the most inspirational person to hit the big screen may not be The Avengers, Tom Cruise, and even “The Rock.” It’s Pope Francis!!!
The Pope will appear for the first time ever in the family movie, BEYOND THE SUN. The film hopes to bring a message of joy, and God’s love to all audiences.

Kids, you know they’re always up
for adventure, and sometimes those adventures take them a little farther than
they knew they wanted to go. And in their quest for adventure, sometimes they
make some pretty bold statements. Often those statements have to do with belief
in God. Or lack of belief. (That’s probably where Pope Francis comes in)
So bloggers
have been asked to write about a childhood adventure memory, or an adventure
with our own children. I like SCUBA diving, and love swimming where I can watch
sharks, so one of my favorite adventures with my son was getting him certified,
with the hope that one day we would be able to dive places like the Great
Barrier Reef in Australia and enjoy the majestic beauty of sharks in that area.
It hasn’t happened yet, but there have been other dives.
Our first open
water dive after he got certified at the age of 10 or 11 was in Mazatlan,
Mexico. I was excited, he was nervous
(just as I had been on my first few open water dives) and I was much more
interested in watching him experience the joys of SCUBA than I was seeing
anything under water. (To be fair, I had been diving there several times.)
But things didn’t go quite as planned. He had trouble maintaining
buoyancy, and he is convinced that he was in shark-infested waters.
I was disappointed,
but certainly learned that not everyone experiences God's glory in quite the
same way. It also taught me that my son is his own person, with his own
interests, and although I can share the things I like, that doesn’t mean that
others will like those same things. It’s turned into a life lesson in ministry
also. I can share Jesus, but I can’t force anyone to become a believer…each of
us makes our own choices, and what is fun, exciting and full of adventure for
one person, might have no appeal for
another.
A search for God
is its own adventure. One which I would encourage everyone to experience.
A heartwarming family film is releasing this week.
Distributed by AMBI Distribution, BEYOND THE SUN, is a modern
day tale of hope, faith and courage based on stories from the Bible. This
delightful family movie chronicles the adventures of four young friends in
search of God.
The
film features a very rare special appearance by Pope Francis. In support of
the film, AMBI Media Group is holding a special contest where one lucky winner
will win an Exclusive Private Tour of the Vatican and Front Row Tickets to an
Audience with The Pope For Four!
For
anyone who has ever wanted to visit Italy and The Vatican, this is your
chance! For additional details about the contest and to enter, please go

BEYOND THE SUN will be available for
