This is one of the most powerful movies I’ve seen in years! It is both deeply touching, and inspiring.
It’s the story of two men and their families. One man’s tragedy drives him to fill his heart with rage and hatred, causing his family to fall apart. The other man’s calling asks that he offer grace and forgiveness to someone who hates him—something he struggles to do.
Although there are several intense scenes (it is PG13), I didn’t feel it was too much for my 7 year old. In fact, it has given my husband and I a great opportunity to talk about the importance of offering grace to those around us—even those who hurt us. Not because they deserve it.
But because God offers it to us and it is the right thing to do.
The theme of grace and forgiveness is so skillfully and compellingly woven throughout this film, you can’t help but be inspired. What if we all offered the kind of grace shown in The Grace Card? --Even to those who hate us? Or to those who look or act differently than us? It could literally change lives.
We thought it was a great film!

We did it again! My review of this movie just went up too. I hope lots of people see this movie because we thought it was great. You have a great review here - good idea to include the you tube clip.
I just came over from Mari's blog in hopes of winning too. Our family loves a good movie for family movie night - and it's sometimes hard to find one appropriate for ages 8-22! Thanks!
Wow, It looks like a great movie - would love to have my family see it! Thanks for the opportunity!

Awesome giveaway! This would be great for our weekly movie night.
My mom told me that I should see this one, but I never made it to the theater with three little ones. I'd love to have an in-home date night with my husband!
I would love to win this!
I can't wait to see this movie! There were several people involved in the making of this that are associated with Trevecca Nazarene University, a sister college to where Jordi is attending.
We all need reminding that we are only here because of grace, how can we do any less for anyone else?
