King of Kings: Brings Bible alive!

 

The King of Kings2025 Film

Hello and Welcome! 

I hope you are keeping well! thank you for stopping by today. if you  fancy a visit to the movies this week, holy week, i recommend the newly released film: The King of Kings

I used to do film reviews for the Athenscope some years ago. I have been a cinema fan since childhood and I like to see new films on the day they are released to make my own mind up about them. So, I made a point of seeing this new film, that is causing such a buzz, on its release date, 11th April. 

I'd seen the trailer (see link below) and, discovering it was an animation, had no idea what to expect. I was blown away by it, though. I give it a 5 star rating. I'm not the only one singing its praises. It is getting great reviews. For instance, audiences polled by CinemaScore (an American market research firm based in Las Vegas) gave the film a rare average grade of A+. 

The Bible adaptation is loosely based on The Life of Our Lord by Charles Dickens, with acting giants, including Kenneth Branagh, Uma Thurman, Pierce Brosnan, and Ben Kingsley, lending their vocal skills to the characters. The film is released by Angel Studios, an independent media company and film distribution agency, that has become known for its Christian-themed films, including the television series The Chosen.

For me, this film uses a highly creative way, especially for a younger audience - it is PG rated - to show that The Greatest Story Ever Told is as relevant today as it was over 2,000 years ago when Jesus walked the earth. I predict this film will become a classic. Its very powerful images are still reverberating within me days after viewing...

I'd love to hear what you think of the film. 

God bless,

Pray Then Listen Prayer guide 

I have been asking God for guidance and listening to His replies for many years. I share my simple methods in Pray Then Listen, A heart-to-heart with God 

“Write a book and show people how to speak to me.” This was the message received by Teresa O’Driscoll during lockdown in 2020. The result is a book that is designed to enhance your prayer life, penned by an author with 20 years’ experience of leading prayer groups.

Using language that is simple without being dumbed down, Pray then Listen is a succinct guide to prayer. It incorporates personal testimony alongside an encouragement to engage in regular dialogue with our heavenly Father. Urging readers to pray regularly throughout the day, O’Driscoll reminds us that nothing is too small or irrelevant for prayer. Then, once we have prayed, we should actively listen. Prayer is a two-way conversation.

Including handy example prayers that can be used in various situations, this short but helpful guide promises to bring you closer to your heavenly Father by involving him in your life, no matter what you are doing.
