The One Lamb

These days I’m wary of any film described as an “inspirational story of hope and redemption,” and with good reason. Brothers Alex and Stephen Kendrick followed up their 2006 hit Facing the Giants with one of last year’s sledgehammer-on-a-marshmallow drama Fireproof, and seven months later we’re still receiving promotional e-mails for the DVD. (Guess they didn’t read this.)

But that said, I should note that University United Methodist Church of Charlotte, N.C., is releasing its own effort, The One Lamb, into theaters in 31 states. Now I’ll need to see about reviewing it. . . . Wish me luck.

Just an FYI, University City UMC is in Charlotte, North Carolina, not SC. It is my home church (I'm now a UM minister in Thomasville, NC) None of my family or my wife's family, who still attend there, have seen it and I have been dying to know how it is before I promote it or cower in shame. I am looking forward to your review.

Thanks for calling this to my attention, Jim. Noted, and corrected!
