Since we live in an age where the visual often attracts more attention than the printed story, we feature a recent Christian bestseller: “Facing the Giants”. The movie (available on DVD) was shown recently at Wesley. The story is simple: Grant Taylor, the coach of an American college football team is in trouble. His team seems incapable of winning, and after three years, a growing chorus of critics want him out. On top of that he faces a number of minor and major domestic challenges too. Grant’s wife is unable to conceive and they really want a child, but after seeing a specialist, the problem appears to lie with him – not a great self-confidence booster. If the story was set in Singapore, the phrase “cannot make it” would come to mind! But with God, nothing is impossible. Grant believes in God, prays for a breakthrough, and things begin to turn around. He finds a new (and rather forceful) way to motivate the team, and they begin to surprise everyone by winning. Nobody expects this underdog team to make it to the Georgia state finals, but amazingly, they do, and even beat their opponents called “The Giants” who expected an easy win. On the domestic field things begin to turn around too, but I don’t want to give everything away in this review.
