Did You Miss *America Reads the Bible* or Want to Relive the Blessing — See Details Here:

Last week, the America Reads the Bible event unfolded in a truly beautiful way in Washington, D.C., as nearly 500 voices came together at the Museum of the Bible to read God’s Holy Word aloud.

It was a powerful and uplifting week, bringing together people from all walks of life... pastors and ministry leaders, current and former politicians, actors and actresses, Christian musicians and worship leaders, and so many others, all united in sharing the truth and light of Scripture.

It was especially meaningful to see familiar faces from Great American Family, the Hallmark Channel, and other networks take part, using their voices to honor the Lord. I so enjoyed every moment I was able to watch, along with my family, but of course we were in and out during the week - with work, errands, etc... so it's been nice to go back and catch any of the ones we missed.

If you happened to miss any of this inspiring event and would like to see it for yourself, you can watch it FREE through Great American Pure Flix - click here to watch.

What a blessing it was to see God’s Word proclaimed so boldly; I pray it blesses you as it has me and so many others who watched throughout the week!

MOVIE REVIEW

Front of the Class:

a Hallmark Hall of Fame Movie about the true story of a young man with tourettes syndrome.

Dominic Scott Kay ... Young Brad Cohen
Patricia Heaton ... Ellen Cohen
Treat Williams ... Norman Cohen
Sarah Drew ... Nancy Lazarus
Kathleen York ... Diane
Joe Chrest ... Jim Ovbey

Laura Whyte ... Brenda
Mike Pniewski ... Principal Myer
Michael H. Cole ... Principal Fowler

PLOT:
from Hallmark:

Front of the Class is inspired by the true story of Brad Cohen, a young man diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome who overcomes considerable odds to become a gifted teacher.

When Brad was growing up, teachers and other adults – even his father – interpreted Brad’s involuntary sounds and sudden jerking movements as attempts to get attention. He was teased by other kids. As a result, he hated school, until a principal recognized and acknowledged that Brad’s “acting up” was actually Tourette’s. The principal used an all-school assembly to educate the faculty and students, which helped Brad win their understanding and acceptance.

Brad decided at that point he wanted to become the teacher he never had. But that ambition was more easily stated than achieved. Despite an impressive college record and glowing recommendations, getting a job was an almost insurmountable challenge. He was turned down in 24 consecutive interviews. His 25th interview finally resulted in a job offer.

Brad’s openness about Tourette’s, as well as his easy-going manner and gentle humor, quickly won over his young students. In addition to the traditional curriculum, the students learned valuable lessons in understanding and tolerance. At the end of the year Brad was named Georgia’s outstanding first-year teacher.

Movie Review:
Wonderful!!! Fantastic!!! Super Acting ... Grand Storytelling... a well chosen cast ... terrific script!

These actors deserve Academy Awards more than the Hollywood elistist who enjoy awarding each other . This is acting at it's very best.... telling a story with truth and honesty that moves people. It makes you appreciate life and your fellow mankind. The movie inspires you to reach for your dream and let nothing stand in your way!

I truly Loved this Hallmark Hall of Fame from beginning to end! I would strongly and highly recommend it!

James Wolk:

I heard someone mention that the lead actor, James Wolk, was our modern day Jimmy Stewart. If he continues to perform at this level and if he chooses roles with this caliber of acting ability... then I wholeheartedly agree!!! He has such a gift for acting and is quite handsome, as well! His ability to act as someone with tourette's syndrome was incredible. I found myself completely taken with this movie.

Dominic Scott Kay:

This boy is phenomenal as the young Brad Cohen! I first saw him in Single Santa Seeks Mrs Claus. He was so sweet and precious in that, and in this... he is perfect. What expression and emotion he gives to his character. I hope he continues to choose such wonderful characters as he grows up. He is a fantastic young actor. It was incredible how much he looked like James Wolk. Great Casting I must say, again!

Patricia Heaton and Treat Williams:

They are both favorite actors of mine... Patricia, from Everybody Loves Raymond and Treat, from Everwood. They added a maturity of acting and experience to the drama, which made the story, though I knew both of them from previous roles, still seem so real!

Thank you Hallmark... and yes... you will need tissues... but in a Happy Way! Beautifully Touching!
