Support a wonderful story of faith on April 8
I am writing this to ask you to support a wonderful faith-based movie releasing on April 8th.
This film is one that every family in our community will enjoy. It’s called Soul Surfer.
This remarkable true story is based on the inspiring life of Bethany Hamilton, a young world-class surfer from Kauai who lost her arm to a shark attack. After extensive rehabilitation she not only returned to surfing but she gained something much greater than her loss—FAITH. (This clip shows how Bethany’s trial wasn’t just a physical one.)

The reason we would like you to spread the word about this film’s release is that it is essential that films like this are a box-office success. It makes it possible for high-quality family entertainment to continue to be produced.
Sony Pictures is working with us to produce another wholesome animated film, The Swan Princess Christmas for 2012. Many times we determine by film ratings what we should see and yet we still come away from the theaters feeling empty or even degraded. These filmmakers and producers are risking millions to provide us all high-quality movie choices that will increase our faith as well as entertain. This can only continue when our community of families helps support these films.
You make a difference for wholesome media!
We all can have a great nationwide impact on the Soul Surfer box office success on April 8th.
We ask you to please tell everyone you know in person, at church, and through social media to attend this film on its opening weekend and show your “vote” for quality family entertainment.
In our media-based world, many more unwholesome influences succeed than those that are “virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy.” Let’s make Soul Surfer the beginning of many more praiseworthy films by putting April 8th on our calendar and by telling everyone we know to support it.
Many thanks for your generous help for over 35 years!
Sincerely,
JARED F. BROWN
President, Living Scriptures
Bethany’s spirit is inspiring and contagious.
She has good friends and an amazing family.
