Dove Review

This movie shows how a person can come to terms with God and how a relationship can develop. Pete loses his wife unexpectedly and he mourns and deals with his loss and anger with God. He must help his young son and his mother to deal with the loss. Thanks to a Billy Graham crusade God gets ahold of the family and their lives are dramatically changed and Pete and his son become powerful soul winners.

We are very pleased to award this movie our Dove “Family-Approved” Seal for all ages. Don’t miss this one!
