Walden Media, the production company behind movies like Holes, Because of Winn-Dixie, and The Chronicles of Narnia, has a number of interesting projects coming out. The most interesting has to be AMAZING GRACE, a movie based on the true story of William Wilberforce, a British statesman and reformer from the early part of the 19th century. This feature film will chronicle his extraordinary contributions to the world, primarily his 20-year fight to abolish the British slave trade, which he won in 1807. He was also instrumental in passing legislation to abolish slavery in the British colonies, a victory he won just three days before his death in 1833.
It's in post-production so it will be coming out soon, and promises to be a great movie with a positive Christian message.

Pastor Ellis:
This is very cool! Thanks for the info. I was at Barnes AND Hastings yesterday looking for this book!! By the way, they don't have it in stock-I went to Amazon. Oh, how I pray for more William Wilberforce's in our generation-in our church. May we NOT become complacent in our walk with the LORD.
(Thanks for blogging!)
