Tilly written by best selling author Frank Peretti, For almost two decades, both as an audio drama and book, Frank Peretti’s Tilly has gently touched people’s hearts and changed their lives. The novel is now being shared with many in a short film, Made-for-TV movie TILLY, where the filming took place in Costa Rica and Colorado. “Tilly” is a Message of Hope, a pro-life story on a powerful promise of love and forgiveness. “Tilly” is based from a a true story of healing, in which Frank Peretti’ assisting in a support group heard a story told by a woman that was suffering the pain after an abortion, where she met her daughter, a compelling pro-life story.
The movie will change you - you won't get away with simply watching it and moving on. Based on a true story is about a woman and her husband coming to terms with an incident in their lives from the past - doubtlessly repeated in many people’s lives, and one might be tempted to view the movie as a somewhat polarized account of such a life. But this isn't true for story stops way short of allowing such petty evaluations, and in a remarkable series of episodes shows a glimpse of heaven itself, and the depth of God's love in such a way that the mere issue of abortion is transcended altogether in a illustration of the vastness and glory of God, and of the tremendous significance of his love directed towards men, women, and children. I should warn any potential viewers that the video will almost certainly move you to tears regardless of your circumstances; the depiction of heaven is quite astonishing and will probably stay with you for some time. Not only is the issue of abortion touched on, but the buried pain and how forgiveness and loved can free one from the horrible guilt caused by one decision. It serves as a reminder of God’s true deep love and compassion for the human race.
