- THE BISHOP’S WIFE
THE BISHOP’S WIFE is the classic comical fantasy of a handsome angel who comes down to earth with orders to help a bishop re-prioritize his life during Christmas. THE BISHOP’S WIFE is an award-winning movie which is delightful at any time of the year for the whole family.
2. THE CASE FOR CHRIST
THE CASE FOR CHRIST is the inside story of how Chicago Tribune journalist Lee Strobel, who set out to disprove Christianity when his wife, Leslie, became a Christian and challenged Lee’s atheism. MOVIEGUIDE® Award-nominee THE CASE FOR CHRIST is a powerful drama reminiscent of ALL THE PRESIDENT’S MEN, with its own examples of excellent acting. It also brilliantly lays out the facts confirming Jesus Christ’s resurrection, but does contain some tense moments and alcohol use requiring caution for younger children.
3. GOD’S NOT DEAD: A LIGHT IN DARKNESS
GOD’S NOT DEAD: A LIGHT IN DARKNESS is the third installment in the GOD’S NOT DEAD movie series and follows Pastor Dave as he must fight to retain his church building from the school. MOVIEGUIDE® Award-nominee GOD’S NOT DEAD: A LIGHT IN DARKNESS is well made, has great acting and exciting moments, with a strong, inspiring Christian message of responding to hate with the love of Jesus Christ.
4. BILLY GRAHAM: AN EXTRAORDINARY JOURNEY
MOVIEGUIDE® Award-nominee BILLY GRAHAM: AN EXTRAORDINARY JOURNEY is a terrific TV special honoring Christian evangelist Billy Graham who passed away February 21, 2018 at the age of 99. The TV program aired on Fox News following the Reverend Graham’s passing and tells how the world-renowned preacher impacted millions of people.
5. GOD BLESS THE BROKEN ROAD
GOD BLESS THE BROKEN ROAD tells a profound, poignant story of a war widow named Amanda who gets angry at God, loses her faith, and is brought to her knees to restore her life. The movie is very clean and evangelical, with brief war violence and deep, insightful discussions about why bad things happen to good people.

6. THE STAR
THE STAR is a wonderful, hilarious, deeply reverential animated family movie centered on the birth of Jesus, but from the perspective of a lowly donkey named Bo. MOVIEGUIDE® Epiphany Prize winner THE STAR is tremendous fun, with great moral, spiritual lessons along the way. It’s a must-see Christmas movie for every family.
7. SAMSON
SAMSON is biblical drama about the man Samson, whom God gave supernatural strength to defeat the Philistines who harshly ruled over the Hebrew people in Israel. Though the production values falter at times, SAMSON has some exciting moments, with a very strong Christian, biblical worldview that honors the One True God of Israel. Caution is advised for some intense violence, however.
