An Incredible Movie About the Power of Forgiveness

In the supercharged world of dirt track racing, a single mistake causes the lives of two men to change forever. One must fight for his family, the other must fight to forgive.

Dirt track racer Sean Weathers was at the top of his game...an unstoppable career, scores of fans, and an adoring daughter. When a rivalry with another racer turns personal, the ego that propelled him to success causes a tragedy, sending his life into a tailspin.

Jack Reed was attempting to make up for past mistakes. He had prospered as a businessman but failed as a family man. In a sudden turn of events, his chances for reconciliation are ripped from his grasp.

Sean and Jack's lives collide, and an unexpected bond forms between them. Working through a painful journey of healing together, they each learn about second chances and the true freedom only forgiveness can offer.

My Take:
I just finished this movie last night, and I have to say, I am still a bit speechless and overwhelmed. The message it contains is powerful and moving! This is beautifully written. Be ready with tissue box in hand, because although this film contains quite a bit of fun humor, it will likely bring tears to your eyes. I don't want to give away anything, so trying to be careful what I say. There were twists that totally caught me off guard! The gospel message is clear and well portrayed. In my heart I rooted for a positive outcome for these two people whose lives had been so completely affected by this tragedy. It is totally realistic, this could happen to anyone. The choice to forgive is not easy, it is a difficult painful path, in which surrender is the only way to travel, yet the results are beyond our wildest imagination. Forgiveness is not just something we offer to others, it is something we often need to give ourselves, when our past is less than perfect and we live with deep regrets. But God can take the ugly and work the unimaginable if we are willing. Take time to watch this movie!! It is sooo worth it!
