Sound of Freedom, based on the incredible true story, shines a light on even the darkest of places. After rescuing a young boy from ruthless child traffick-
ers, a federal agent learns the boy’s sister is still captive and decides to embark on a dangerous mission to save her. With time running out, he quits his job and journeys deep into the Colombian jungle, putting his life on the line to free her from a fate worse than death.

Sadly this isn’t the only story of child trafficking. There are so many more involved in human trafficking not just children. It is time to put an end to these crimes.

Pure Flix Giveaway

Enter to win a 3 month subscription to Pure Flix.

Sons of Thunder :: Redemption

Sons of Thunder : Redemption is a sequel to the original Sons of Thunder series. Both are available on Pure Flix. Similar in the connection to the biker group Devil’s Hand, redemption is different in that it is an ongoing storyline. Both series follow the path of a biker group member turning to Jesus and trying to make a better way.

I was asked to review episode 4 Date Night. The main character Jacob asks Sandy, a past love, to dinner in hopes of gaining her forgiveness. They are both working on a horse ranch that is behind in payments and on the verge of being sold.

Pure Flix streams faith and family-friendly media that changes lives, inspires hearts, and lifts the spirits of members like you and those you love. Sons of Thunder and Sons of Thunder: Redemption are just 2 of many such films and series on Pure Flix that you can watch with a subscription. You can try Pure Flix out with a free 7 days trial and then purchase a PureFlix membership plan: monthly plan for $10.99 or annual plan for $99.99.

Each recipe contains a cost estimate so you can easily stay on budget and manage food costs. You’ll also find beautiful photos, a guide to getting the most out of your air fryer, and practical, easy-to-follow ways to spend less and save big at the grocery store.

  • Paperback ‏ : ‎ 224 pages
