MOVIE REVIEW: 10th Anniversary Edition of "Courageous" from the Kendrick Brothers - COURAGEOUS LEGACY

Ten years ago, the movie COURAGEOUS opened in theaters across the world. It was (and still is) a terrific movie, filled with heart-pounding action, laugh-out-loud humor, and powerful inspiration. It is especially geared to encourage fathers (and all men) to be men of integrity, but is a great movie for everyone in the family to see.

Now, ten years later, the Kendrick Brothers (creators of WAR ROOM and OVERCOMER) have brought us COURAGEOUS LEGACY, the remastered, special-edition release for a new generation. This updated version of the film includes an enhanced look and sound, along with new scenes and a new bonus ending. I feel the new ending was a great addition to this already impactful movie, and I think you will agree. So, gather your friends and family and get ready to head back to the theaters. 

You can see COURAGEOUS LEGACY in participating theaters, starting Friday, September 24th!

NOTE:  During the movie, there is talk of a "resolution" for Fathers that several of the characters decided to sign. You can download your own copy of the resolution here: RESOLUTION.

DEVOTIONAL REVIEW: "Roar Like A Lion" by Levi Lusko (for ages 6-10)

 

If my kids were still young, I would highly consider reading Roar Like A Lion with them. I probably would have used it for morning devotions before starting our school sessions, or maybe my husband would have led us in discussion at the dinner table. Either way, this 90-day devotional would have been a great addition to our library. It is geared for ages 6-10, so older kids/experienced readers could read it on their own, while less experienced readers can enjoy some one-on-one time with a grown-up, or the entire family can benefit with some read-aloud family devotion time. The lessons are good for all ages to learn from, but specifically cover topics for kids such as:    
  • Facing fears about school and friendships
  • Dealing with peer pressure and bullying
  • Handling new challenges, disappointments, and grief
  • Having courage to try something new 
  • Understanding how we each fit into God's great story
As I read through some of the devotionals I noticed the colorful illustrations, and I like the way each two-page devotional is laid out. Each devotional includes a relevant Bible verse, an easy-to-understand devotional, and then a short focused prayer. As an added bonus, each devotional also includes a short section of either a "Did You Know" fact, or a "Get Ready to Roar" call to action; and, for an extra fun activity, kids can go through the book looking for anchors that are hidden in some of the illustrations. How many can you find? I challenge you to find out...
