Faith-based films have seen wide success over the past couple of years, and the entertainment industry is taking note, with many new faith-based films set to release this fall. The focus seems to be on spiritual life abroad, with stories of missionary families, military life and a well-known global evangelist. In March the Christian film “I Can Only Imagine” shocked many when it brought in $17.1 million during its opening weekend, and then another $83 million in total. Another Christian film, “Paul, Apostle of Christ,”featuring Jim Caviezel, also came out in March, placing among the top 10 films during its opening weekend. Here is a list of five faith-based films to look out for this fall:
“GOD BLESS THE BROKEN ROAD”
This film tells the story of a young widow who struggles to keep her relationship with God after her husband is killed in combat in Afganistan. The film was directed by “God’s Not Dead” filmmaker Harold Cronk, and is expected to have similar success as his other films.
