http://christianmovieblog.com/ 59-13 http://christianmovieblog.com/reviews/love-comes-softly I was really impressed by Dale Midkiff's acting, his face always had this warm and deep look that made you think about what he was saying. I have to say, he made me wonder for a bit how a practically isolated Christian could continue to have such strong faith in God, while I struggle with it sometimes. There was no church scene, so I wonder how much of a Christian community there was, but maybe the movie did not want to stray away from the book. ]]> Mon, 19 Oct 2009 21:11:08 -0400 59-11 http://christianmovieblog.com/reviews/love-comes-softly I did not read the book, but I loved the "love on the prairie" feeling in this movie, it's certainly a welcome break from the "modern" movies these days. I also loved the fact that it wasn't too "preachy" a movie - the story line really carried you along with their lives and had a "real" touch to it that I can relate to. ]]> Mon, 19 Oct 2009 20:48:03 -0400 59-5 http://christianmovieblog.com/reviews/love-comes-softly A tragic turn of events usurps the plans of a newly married couple, but grief has to make room for quick decisions that affect a pregnant widow's basic existence. Love Comes Softly is a true story of faith, love and perseverance as they navigate life's unexpected tragedies. Katherine Heigl and Dale Midkiff perform beautifully and give us a glimpse into what Christian life can be like in a remote place without all the technology. There is a strong Christian message in the movie as we observe Clark's unwavering trust in God and consistent attitude of prayer. The "love on the prairie" feeling is certainly a welcome break from "modern" life, and the movie ends with the "happily ever after" feeling that we expect. ]]> Wed, 14 Oct 2009 21:10:20 -0400
