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."
