"October Baby" Christian Movie Review

We just came back from watching the newly released movie October Baby. I took my oldest daughter with me and was glad I did. This movie covered the topic of a girl who was a victim of an failed abortion attempt who was adopted and finds out later in life.

Here is the trailer:

(Note: don't forget to turn off the music at the bottom of the blog before viewing!)

The best part of this movie has got to be this:

This movie is powerful because it speaks to women who have had abortions. So many times women are imprisoned from their own guilt of their mistakes in the past and have never come to terms with actually forgiving themselves for what they did. They live in fear of judgment, feeling people will reject them for their mistake if they ever went public and also live under the burdening and heavy guilt of self-accusation.

When in reality I believe that many women had agreed to have abortions with out fully understanding what they were doing and the repercussions it would bring years after. I know if many of them could go back they would change in a heartbeat the decision they had made.

The wonderful thing is they have FORGIVENESS in Jesus Christ.

"For God so loved the world that whosoever should believe in Him will not perish but have everlasting life."

They are TRULY forgiven.

“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” (1 John 1:9)

They can truly be HEALED.

I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. John 10:10

Only Satan will lie to keep a woman imprisoned in her past sin. He is a murderer, a liar, an accuser...and he will do his best in his attempts to destroy her. A woman who has chosen to follow Christ can rest assured that His GRACE, MERCY, and LOVING FORGIVENESS has covered her. She does not have to live a life of pain and hurt. He has given His life so she can be forgiven and live her life from that point for His glory.

This movie takes us through Hannah's life, a gal to be reunited with her biological mother and the pain she endures through it all for the first time. It is a story of forgiveness. This is a definite must see. 

Thank you to Providence Films for taking the time to make this movie and remind women all around the world that they can be forgiven.

(Note: For the moms wanting to know if this is a film for young children, I would watch it first and decide for yourself. There are a few scenes when the 19 year old daughter who was homeschooled is disrespectful and yelling at her parents, was arrested for breaking into a hospital,  and has a very close relationship with a childhood friend that is a boy. In spite of this, I do highly recommend it for women who have experienced an abortion or considering having one. )
