Catching Hearts

The film follows three people: An author (Mark), a young lady and a young man. One day the young lady loses a girl that she is babysitting. At the same time the young man, who has a bad relationship with his father, loses his father in a car accident. Both of them don't want to blame themselves for the events that have happened and start reading Mark's book "We Don't Need God". Through that book they are able to see the past events as coincidences and don't feel as bad about themselves. One day they both attend the author's special event in town. However, during the event, Mark realizes that God exists after all and that it was all part of God's plan for him to gather these people and then be an advocate for them.

Dove Review

This is a nice story which illustrates that everyone has choices to make and some choose to believe in and follow God, and others choose a different path. Dr. Mark Gavin is an avowed atheist who has written a book titled “We Don’t Need God”. He has plenty of fans. However, when a young man named Dean loses his Christian father unexpectedly, and a young woman, Jenny, loses a young girl named Jamie in her care as a babysitter, both deal with grief and try to find a way to cope.

The movie illustrates very clearly that people can have a change of heart and that everyone’s path depends on the choices they make. When Dr. Gavin undergoes a change of heart, the impact is remarkable on various lives. Ultimately the question has to be asked which is this: do some of the amazing events which occur happen to be coincidences or could they be explained as God’s providence?

We are pleased to recommend this movie for ages twelve plus due to some intense moments and sophisticated themes in the film. This one is well worth your time. It could just be life changing for the viewer. It’s interesting to note that Dr. Gavin writes a new book near the end of the movie titled, “We Need God”.
