'Home Run' Movie Garners Support

Touted by its filmmakers as "a game-changing movie," Home Run opens today in approximately 400 theaters across the United States.

Christian retail chains have gotten behind the movie and several
best-selling Christian authors have endorsed Home Run, which highlights
Celebrate Recovery—a 12-step addiction recovery program based on
Christian principles that grew out of Southern California's Saddleback
Church and is now found in churches worldwide.

Produced by Impact Productions, the faith-based movie is about an
alcoholic baseball hotshot who finds redemption in an unlikely place.

"It won't be the only game in town at movie theaters," the film's
Facebook page said. "However, it will be the one film reminding
moviegoers that with God, freedom is possible."

The film won the Best Feature Film and Best Inspirational Film
categories of the inaugural Resonate Film Festival during the
International Christian Retail Show in Orlando, Fla., last summer. David
 C Cook released a novelization by Travis Thrasher of the movie with the
 same title last month.

"Home Run is a powerful story of the redemption of our past, present
and future for the glory of God," Family Christian President and CEO
Cliff Bartow said. "This timeless message is delivered through a
baseball story and a man's key relationships. We can all relate at some
level to parts of this story, which makes this movie so compelling."
