The Great Awakening

 Rita and I just saw a wonderful movie: The Great Awakening, by Sight & Sound.

It has limited engagements right now. Check it out, I encourage you to see it.

Sight & Sound is a fabulous media ministry that has two 3-stage theaters in Lancaster, Pennsylvania and Branson, Missouri. Rita and I have seen the performances called David and Noah at Lancaster and Esther at Branson. Sight & Sound has also produced excellent content for the movie screens. The Great Awakening tells the true story of an unlikely friendship between the Reverend George Whitefield and Benjamin Franklin that resulted in one of the most defining moments in American history. With the colonies on the brink of collapse, the Reverend George Whitefield ignites the first Great Awakening, uniting an entire generation with his thundering and faithful sermons and proclamations of liberty. 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, the founders discover true liberty cannot only be written into law - it must be awakened in the hearts of the people.

This is an awesome way to learn history!
