I was talking with a friend after church today and he told me he just saw a movie that he said, "could be the best movie I've ever seen in my life." Facing the Giants
From the award-winning producers of FLYWHEEL comes a new, action-packed, family-friendly drama about a high school football coach who draws up a new game plan for his team … and himself.
In his six years of coaching, Grant Taylor has never had a winning season. Even the hope of a new season is squelched when the best player on his Shiloh Eagles decides to transfer schools. After losing their first three games of the season, the coach discovers a group of fathers are plotting to have him fired. Combined with pressures at home, Coach Taylor has lost hope in his battle against fear and failure.
However, an unexpected challenge helps him find a purpose bigger than just victories. Daring to trust God to do the impossible, Coach Taylor and the Eagles discover how faith plays out on the field … and off.
With God, all things are possible …
Review from Prodigal Son Magazine
With a $100,000 budget, six weeks of shooting time, and one rented camera, the chances were slim that this movie would reach millions across the country, but God worked just as much behind the film as He did in it.

This film sounds amazing
Sorry, you were looking for a review. I haven't seen it but hope to...
We just saw facing the Giants. My brother in law gave this to us several weeks ago and I kinda thought, yeah like i'll watch another cinderella sports story movie. This was the most inspirational movie I have seen a long time. I think I cried 7 times and after the film my state of mind had actually changed and I had those holy ghost bumps. That didn't happen to me to this degree at the end of Narnia even. I believe God was working through someone to prompt me to watch it. thank you Dave for blogging about this film and thank you to whoever it was that told you about.
God is good! Dave
