The team's journey

Sister introduction.
There are so many miracles, so many coincidences, I can't believe it when I see it, I deeply realize the weakness of faith! This is a Christian work, a gospel drama that compresses all labor, and life is highly abstracted, just as the thirty-three years of Jesus are only dozens of thin pages.
When the protagonist prays and has a car, a victory, and a child, suddenly there is a trace of disgust: Has Christianity been vulgarized? Is it Prosperity Theology? Has the suffering of Christ been omitted? Everything comes too quickly, love is patient, but people tend to welcome and long for quick success.
Keep reading, start reflecting, start having new insights: Could there be fewer miracles described in the Bible than this? Why can't we appreciate the symbolic meaning and good intentions of the producer? How abrupt the scenes of prayer seem in the mind full of commercial films, it seems that prayer is only normal in the church, we have lost the imagination of the whole campus praying scene, we have become accustomed to the "normal" life of people around us, we have Lost to welcome miracles, expect miracles, and the most important thing is to believe in miracles!
Thanks for this masterpiece that reveals the wonders of life!

    Inspirational films are always fun, but the religious color is too strong!

Facing the Giants quotes

  • Grant Taylor: Scripture says to honor your parents, and all you do is complain.

    Matt Prater: All he does is boss me around. He doesn't even try to understand me.

    Grant Taylor: Matt, you can't judge your father by his actions and then judge yourself by your intentions. It doesn't work that way. You're not responsible for him. You're responsible for you. You honor God by honoring your authority.

  • J.T. Hawkins Jr.: You act like you gonna miss before you even kick the ball. See, we're gonna have to change your whole kicking philosophy. Now see, you kick it wide left, or wide right, but that ain't gonna get you home. The ball has got to go through the middle.

    David Childers: I know, coach.

    J.T. Hawkins Jr.: No, no, no. You don't. Now what does scripture say about this? Scripture says wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction. And many that be there find it. Now to us; that's wide left, and wide right. But narrow is the gate and straight is the way that leads to life, and few that be there find it. Anybody can kick it wide left and wide right. My momma can kick it wide left and wide right. But that ain't gonna get you home. It don't have to look great. It don't have to look smooth. It can look like a dying duck. But the ball has got to go through the middle. Now David, you gonna have to choose the narrow way. Cause that's the only path where you gonna get your reward.
