Facing the Giants: Where Are the Good Christian Movies?

If you've felt challenged to find a really good family movie, maybe you should consider "Facing the Giants". This movie offers a wholesome, clean, yet touching story of a football team and coach that must overcome all odds against them. Have you gone to work with a transportation challenge? Maybe you could relate to this teacher who is trying to hold onto his job and struggles just to reach it every day because of his car.

It is an effort every teacher must face at some point in their careers to try to teach what others consider hopeless. If the students have given up on themselves, the teacher will often give up as well. Watch this teacher as he pulls himself up through the muck and mud daily life offers on a cheap and cracked platter to try to save himself and the students who depend on him for guidance. How can he help them when he can't even seem to help himself? Haven't we all been there at one time or another? The tears and the laughter will keep you riveted to the screen, wondering how he can manage to keep his faith against all the odds.

The 6 year effort he has made just to hold the team together and endure the jeers of the parents and other teachers who felt he should just throw in the towel and face the facts puts him under tremendous pressure. His dream, it seems, was all for nothing. He is truly "Facing the Giants" as his efforts to pull the team through seem to be for nothing. Will his stress break his career and his marriage?

A parent who doesn't even like the coach and has no time for his son, a colleague who is offered the job himself and seems to betray, and kids who lose heart are all the ingredients for disaster. So, how can he overcome and help them become proud of themselves again? Grab your box of tissues, and wait until you see the end! You can follow "Facing the Giants" all the way through without worry of hiding your child's eyes, covering their ears, or cringing at the content.
