Review:

Poor as he was, little Davie was rich in spirit. With broom in hand, he loved to sing as he swept the muddy crossings. One day, the sweet music from the Abbey’s pipe organ drew him near, and the words he heard from the preacher that day forever changed his life. But what did it all mean, that he could be a king unto God?

Mesmerized by the sparkling gems on the hilt of a sword as the carriage passed by, Davie was suddenly jolted from his reverie. In a moment there was a wild shriek- a piercing cry… -From the preface

How God used Davie’s amazing voice, and works a complete miracle, makes a great read!

In a nutshell: Great read, this book is great for the boy singer in your family! (And for everyone else!)

A Sword is passed from father to son is passed from father to son throughout the generations…

In 730 A.D., young Garron is given the task to defend his home and family as his father rides to war. That task proves to be difficult as calamity strikes and the enemy closes in. He must rely on his father’s guidance and God’s strength to overcome the odds- or risk death for all that he loves… – From the back of the movie.

In a nutshell: Extremely enjoyable! Watch it today! Does have some frightening parts, so discern.
