Testament- Review and Giveaway!!

By: Melissa Baker

I have had the opportunity to join the Angel Guild on Angel.com where I can stream some amazing family friendly, Christian based shows and films.  One of them that really caught my attention is the series called The Testament. It is about the book of Acts, but with a modern day twist. I always enjoy watching shows that tell a biblical story in the modern times. It makes the story more relatable and applicable for our own lives. I have only watched a few episodes so far of Testament, but I can tell you that I am really enjoying it. It gets me thinking about if I would really be able to follow Jesus, if I were involved in the story. And I have realized as I watch this series that the choices that I would make would likely not be as easy as I would imagine them to be. In this series, we witness followers of Christ risk it all to preach the Gospels and share their faith. Would you be able to do the same? 

About the series:

The live action series the Testament is now streaming on angel.com and the Angel

App and is also available to all Angel Guild members. The Book of Acts explosively reimagined in an alternate-modern era. A resurrection sparks a movement that turns the world upside down, spreading hope amid chaos. As the followers risk everything to preach the good news, the Temple races to silence them before the oppressive Imperium regime retaliates. But public miracles, unburied secrets, and fractured loyalties force both sides to confront the true cost of their choices. This series will challenge you, move you, and make you rethink what it means to truly follow Jesus. With the modern setting, you'll relate to these people and stories like never before.

The Chosen Last Supper- review and giveaway!

By : Melissa Baker

My husband and I have watched the previous seasons of The Chosen, and we love it! It really brings you up close and personal Jesus and those he encountered. As you are watching it, it is like you are there with them in that time. I would highly recommend this whole series, but especially the Last Supper! 

About The Chosen:

The table is set. The people of Israel welcome Jesus as king while his disciples anticipate his crowning. But—instead of confronting Rome—he turns the tables on the Jewish religious festival. Their power threatened, the country’s religious and political leaders will go to any length to ensure this Passover meal is Jesus’ last. Shot in a beautiful cinematic format, The Chosen: Last Supper brings the most pivotal week in history to audiences in this special three-part theatrical release.

The Chosen is a groundbreaking historical drama based on the life of Jesus (Jonathan Roumie), seen through the eyes of those who knew him. Set against the backdrop of Roman oppression in first-century Israel, the seven-season series shares an authentic and intimate look at Jesus’ revolutionary life and teachings. With over 250 million viewers (as of 7/27/24), The Chosen is one of the most-watched shows in the world.

The Chosen is back for Holy Week, the most pivotal week in human history. Tables are turned. Friends are betrayed. And powerful leaders plot the death of Jesus. The Chosen: Last Supper is the must see event of the Easter season. 

The Chosen: Last Supper is releasing in theaters in 3 parts! 

Part One (episodes 1-2) releases on March 28; 

Part Two (episodes 3-5) releases on April 4; and 

Part Three (episodes 6-8) releases on April 11.

Watch this powerful new season of The Chosen in theaters starting March 28th!

No Address- Review and Giveaway!

 By: Melissa Baker

I had the opportunity to watch the film 'No Address'. It starts out with this young girl graduating high school and she arrives home afterward to her foster home, where they have thrown out all of her belongings and locked her out. The foster parents were not getting paid anymore for housing her since she graduated from high school. It was absolutely heart wrenching to watch this girl beg to be let back into the only home she has. She had nowhere else to go! So, with no other family or friends that could take her in, even temporarily, she was forced to live on the streets. She grabbed the few belongings she had and started walking to find shelter. The story goes on to show what it is like living on the streets. She finds a homeless camp with some good people, that took her in. But outsiders would not let them be, and they constantly got attacked, robbed, or harassed. 

The other story line and character that the film follows, was about a well-off man with a family, nice job, and big home. He risks losing it all due to his gambling problem. This was a great reminder to stay humble because we are all one decision away from our lives looking completely different and having our world turned upside down. This film was an amazing, heartbreaking, inspiring film. It sheds light on homelessness and what happens to them while they are living on the streets. I highly encourage everyone of all ages to watch this movie and never take for granted the blessings in your life, because you never know when they will be gone. And this film will certainly give you more compassion and humanity for those who are struggling and living with no address!

Homelessness Statistics:

• There are 1.2 million adults and 1.5 million children experiencing homelessness nationwide.
• Between 2022 and 2023, street-level homelessness increased 12% nationwide, if this rate continues, street-level homelessness will double in 5-6 years.
• Nearly 1 in 3 foster youth in California face homelessness after leaving the child welfare system.
• Before 2014, the number of unsheltered individuals dropped by 31.4% between 2007 and 2014, thanks to intensive wraparound services and participation requirements in most homelessness assistance programs. This progress was reversed when the federal government cut funding for supportive services and removed participation requirements.

About the film: Inspired by true events, NO ADDRESS follows the harrowing journey of Lauren, a young woman pushed onto the streets and forced to survive against all odds. Alongside a makeshift family of outcasts—each with their own haunting story of struggle and loss—Lauren discovers that home is not just a place, but the people who refuse to let you fall. Featuring powerhouse performances from Lucas Jade Zumann, (20th Century Women, Anne with an E, Chicago Fire), Beverly D’Angelo (National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, Entourage, Vegas Vacation), Isabella Ferreira (Crush, Love Victor, Orange is the New Black), William Baldwin (Gossip Girl, Parenthood, Forgetting Sarah Marshall), Xander Berkeley (Terminator 2: Judgment Day, The Walking Dead, 24), Ty Pennington (Extreme Home Makeover: Home Edition, Trading Spaces), Kristanna Loken (Terminator 3, Boy Meets World), Patricia Velasquez (The Mummy, The Mummy Returns, Arrested Development) and GRAMMY Award-Winning Singer/Songwriter & actress, Ashanti (Coach Carter, John Tucker Must Die), NO ADDRESS s is a raw and unflinching look at the dark realities of homelessness.

Americans With No Address- Review and Giveaway!

 By: Melissa Baker

Do you ever see any homeless people in your state? How about in your town? Do you ever wonder how they ended up homeless and why they can't change their situation? 'Americans With No Address' is a film that takes the viewers on a journey into the lives and situations that homeless people face every day. They interview people and really get into depths of their lives so we can have more understanding, compassion and perspective. There is so much to learn about this growing issue in America. It truly is a crisis that we as a nation need to get a handle on. I never thought about how people experiencing homelessness often feel invisible and that even just one interaction, like saying hello or making eye contact, can change someone's trajectory of life; we need to begin to see the human side of homelessness. This film is very eye-opening, and I recommend that everyone in all walks of life watch this with an open mind and heart. Watch Americans With No Address today - Now Streaming on Prime Video! And click here to learn more!

About the film:

'Americans With No Address' is a documentary that investigates the homeless crisis in America and captures the untold stories of those experiencing homelessness while at the same time trying to find answers to the problem. 

The Documentary came about first to ensure the accuracy of the “No Address” feature film; our production team toured the country for several weeks, visiting and filming interviews in 20 major cities across 18 states facing various rates of homelessness and interviewed over 175 people. Those interviews inspired the documentary "Americans With No Address," which captures the essence of what is causing the homeless crisis and portrays what solutions have been implemented and proven to show positive changes.

You Are a Child of God~ Review and Giveaway!

By: Melissa Baker 

Do you have little ones in the house? Do you want to have meaningful connections with them? If so I have just the tool for you! You Are a Child of God is a faith-based children’s coloring book designed to be shared between a child and their caregiver. This book allows you to have those conversations about God’s love from a young age and continue to grow that connection as they grow up! You Are a Child of God is more than a book - each page invites children (and adults) to color, creating a calming and creative experience while reading and engaging with Scripture. What I like about it most is it encourages reflection on key biblical truths, making it perfect for family devotionals or bedtime readings and story time. How amazing is it to be able to have that opportunity! This book reminds us, both old and young, of our identity in Christ. There seems to be certain ages where kids struggle with knowing their identity in Christ, and this can help with that! And with Christmas just around the corner, It’s a perfect gift or stocking stuffer for the child in your life! Give a gift that inspires and shares God’s love this season!

About the book: A love note to people of all ages, You Are a Child of God brings together many of the most important messages in the Bible. Highlighting verses from both the Old and New Testaments, the author helps people understand what the Scriptures teach about our unique creation and God's involvement in our lives. This book is fun for kids to color and invites adult readers to meditate on Scripture while engaging their inner child through coloring.

About the Author:Michelle Fritch is a child of God, a mother of three, an ordained Episcopal Priest, and a counselor who fiercely believes that love can change the world.
