This Christian drama is about a tragic death that will lead a family to their breakdown, backsliding and a healing in Jesus.
The movie has really good acting, sound track and cinematography which gives it a strong announcement of God's mercy. It paints a picture of doubt, fast living, and blasphemy and it makes this movie a must watch by teenagers and adults. It shows the struggles of life and how our choices make a difference.
The movie starts out with Becca, Adam and their five year old daughter Acie, as they are celebrating the fourth of July at their family picnic.
But a tragic accident has left Adam hanging on to life. But Adam passes away. Becca's prayers, that she prayed in Jesus' name, were not answered the way she wanted them to, and it sent her into a tail spin of depression, grief and anger towards God. An old friend of Becca's invites her to be with her in the city. Her friend then shows her a whole new life of alcohol, casual sex, and the pursuit of self indulgence. Back home, Becca's five year old daughter Acie and her grandparents decided to hang on to Jesus and on to each other, to help Acie get through the absence of both of her parents.
Then there is another family crisis that hits and threatens to take everything away from the grandparents: the farm.
What will happen? Will Becca realize that she has spun out of control? Will she stop being so bitter and return to Jesus and her faith that she lost? Will the grandfather lose his family farm? And will little five year old Acie ever be able to understand her father's death and her mother's running away and leaving her?
This Christian movie's message will stand out to people of faith and encourage them. As for non-believers, I don't know if it will stand out to them, but I do believe that it will make them think about it as time goes on.
My Daddy is in
Heaven dives right into the emotional trauma of the loss of a loved one through death. This movie talks about the importance of the Bible and reading it, about going to church and it proclaims the Gospel of Jesus, a message of Salvation and of Jesus Christ and the importance of accepting Him into your heart.
In this movie, Becca backslides into a world of hurt. Her pain and anger eats at her, the atheism from the unanswered prayers, the alcohol, from all the partying. This shows us that we all need Jesus; we all need to repent to Him, in this world where there is hurt and despair, This movie really hits this point home. If you only remember one thing, remember this: Jesus is the only way, the only way to our father in Heaven; there is no other way. Read John 14:6.
