Dear friends,

My husband Thad surprised me today and took me to a matinee showing of the new movie Amazing Grace. I very rarely bother to see any movie in a theater, and my anticipation in seeing this one was richly rewarded. It was superbly done. If you have any interest whatsoever in history, politics, Great Britain, or social justice -- or even if you don't -- please go see Amazing Grace. William Wilberforce and John Newton are heroes of the faith in the truest sense of the word -- putting their convictions into action year after year, despite the opposition. This is the kind of movie Hollywood needs to be giving us, so let's send them a message that if they produce something worthy, we'll go see it!

You can watch a preview here, as well as download excellent educational materials and sheet music. http://www.amazinggracemovie.com/

In association with the movie, there is an organization working to abolish modern day slavery, such as human trafficking. I don't know much about it other than it is partnering with such good folks as Angel Tree, World Vision, and Focus on the Family. Here is the link: http://www.theamazingchange.com/

Blessings,

Virginia Knowles
