Unbroken: Path to Redemption via Pureflix God Bless the Broken Road via 10 West Studios |
- Merritt Patterson and Andrew W. Walker - |
It's rather exciting when familiar actors and actresses we are used to regularly watching on our TV screens show up in new movies - at the theater! When I saw these two upcoming, uplifting films, I just knew I had to share their impactful stories of faith and redemption with all of you here, and I'm glad to say you will recognize some well known faces from Hallmark or Lifetime.
Although Merritt Patterson and Andrew W. Walker starred together in the Hallmark Channel June Wedding movie, "Wedding March 4: Something Old, Something New," this time around they are starring in separate films.
And now that both of these faith-based movies, "God Bless the Broken Road" and "Unbroken: Path to Redemption," are just days away from their premieres, I thought this would be an ideal time to share details on both films. Be sure to watch the trailers below to get a glimpse of their incredible talent - which is soon hitting the big screen!

Storyline: "Based on Laura Hillenbrand’s bestselling book, UNBROKEN: PATH TO REDEMPTION begins where the hit movie Unbroken concludes, sharing the next amazing chapter of the unbelievable true story of Olympian and World War II hero Louis Zamperini (portrayed by Samuel Hunt).
Haunted by nightmares of his torment, Louie sees himself as anything but a hero. Then, he meets Cynthia (Merritt Patterson), a young woman who captures his eye—and his heart.
Louie’s wrathful quest for revenge drives him deeper into despair, putting the couple on the brink of divorce. Until Cynthia experiences Billy Graham’s 1949 Los Angeles Crusade, where she finds faith in God and a renewed commitment to her marriage and her husband. Now, her most fervent prayer is for God to help Louie find the peace and forgiveness he so desperately needs."

How exciting to see more faith movies coming out! Also, wonderful to see these familiar faces on the big screen. Thank you Net for sharing this and your uplifting blog...it always brightens my day!
ReplyDeleteAwe, thank you so much, NK! Your sweet, thoughtful message brightened my day! I'm so glad to hear you are also excited to see these faith-based films! I absolutely share your enthusiasm!

It's encouraging the amount of Christian films that have been released on the "Big Screen" over the last few years, Net, especially in these days of rage. I've seen the trailer for "God Bless the Broken Road" on the Hallmark channel but was surprised to hear about "Unbroken: Path to Redemption". So happy to hear Franklin Graham's son will be portraying his Grandpa and on a sad note, let us pray for his Aunt, Ann Graham Lotz, who announced this morning she has breast cancer. She has penned many books and hopefully many more to come!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely agree, Linda! It is a real blessing to see all the remarkable Christian films coming out these days. They have become better and better, over the years, and will hopefully reach a broad audience.
DeleteThank you for mentioning Ann Graham Lotz; I had not heard this news. I will be in prayer for her, and share this news with others, who I know will also be in prayer. She is a remarkable woman of faith and an incredible teacher. I love to listen to her talk. Bless her heart.
I so appreciate you sharing. Blessings, Net
Both of these movies sound and look amazing. So proud of our Hallmark actors especially Andrew Walker! Gotta love that guy!
ReplyDeleteI feel the same, Joyce! These are such wonderful roles they've both taken, and such an incredible message of God's amazing love! I feel proud too! :)
