The best faith films tell a great story, and if that story happens to be true you’re in for a great night at the movies. Miracles from Heaven delivers the goods like few films of any genre.
It tells the true story of 12-year-old Anna Beam (Kylie Rogers) who suffers from a life-threatening motility disorder and is unable to eat.
After she is dramatically rescued from a near-death experience, a stunning series of miracles unfold that leave her family, her medical doctors and community baffled.
Her journey also sparks a spiritual renewal for her mother, Christy Beam, deftly played by Jennifer Garner who delivers the performance of a lifetime.
Miracles from Heaven is a rare gem that sparkles in a sea of mediocre secular films in theaters this spring. The story is polished, and it shines because it shows that faith in Jesus Christ is the only hope for a culture struggling to find true joy
