Don’t Miss Sight & Sound’s A Great Awakening in Theaters

Mally and I took some of our children and grandchildren to see this excellent new movie produced by Sight & Sound Theatres in honor of America’s 250th anniversary. We all loved it! It’s one of the best movies I’ve ever seen. It’s emotional and very convicting—a movie about the life of the famous preacher George Whitefield. I was so thrilled our family could see this.

“A Great Awakening tells the true story of an unlikely friendship that resulted in one of the most defining moments in American history.”

I encourage every family to find a theater near you that is showing it and do not miss it! It may only be showing in your area for another few days or so (it’s in about 1,000 US theaters through this weekend, but some are carrying it a bit longer).

Here’s how Sight & Sound describes this film:

A Great Awakening tells the true story of an unlikely friendship that resulted in one of the most defining moments in American history. With the colonies on the brink of collapse, the Reverend George Whitefield sparks the First Great Awakening, uniting an entire generation with his thundering proclamation of liberty in Christ. In a miraculous turn of events, one of Whitefield’s closest friends and greatest promoters becomes none other than Benjamin Franklin. With the nation’s freedom hanging in the balance, Franklin discovers true liberty cannot only be written into law—it must be awakened in the hearts of the people.

The film will be available to rent or purchase in mid-May, but if you can, go and experience it on the big screen (I urge you to do so!).

Warning: It will create a great awakening in you! It convicted me to be even more bold about proclaiming God’s Word and the gospel and calling out the error of church leaders leading people astray!
