The Christmas Candle
This is not a B movie that I am ask you to support because it’s Christian and we should be supporting positive media. I am asking you to see this movie on the weekend of November 22nd because you will get more than your money’s worth, and you will be supporting the Christian message so that it can expand into more cities quickly.
I was blessed to preview this movie last night and it left a lasting impression on me. I am the type of person who can’t remember what I watched last night most times, so this is saying something! I was a little concerned about putting off this writing to the following day for that reason. But the message and imagery was powerful. It was filled with grace and hope and beauty. What I especially love is the reverends’ understanding that faith requires us to be a miracle for each other and with that comes work. Complex characters transform, and the grace that is mixed when humans open their hearts to love others, in combination with Gods awesome power brings about miracles you won’t forget either.
It’s one of those films that the whole theaters laughs together at. It’s not a comedy, but it is peppered with adorable little chuckles. Be prepared to try and hold back a few tears too. You grow attached to the characters, and are rooting for each of them. Little unexpected plot twists keep this film original, and focused. This film was beautifully shot on location, and the star-studded cast lets you relax with great acting. Moving music ties the whole story together, including the lovely voice of Susan Boyle. My hope is that your heart will be transformed as was mine. My favorite line was to the effect that we should be “that miracle to each other.”
