Why We Usually Only Review Films We Like:

We have noticed that unfortunately many Christian Bookstores (as for-profit businesses) seem to carry everything that anyone might want.

As a Non-profit Christian ministry, we are free to only review films that we feel are generally sound and may be beneficial to someone. 

(Disclaimer: we of course do not always agree with every statement made in every film--watch every film with discernment).

We watch the many films we know nothing about, review any good ones, and spare you the poor ones. ____________

What we believe and teach Doctrinally may be seen on our pages: Statement of Faith, What We Believe, and Plan of Salvation. ____________
