Overview

CAPTIVE, based on a miraculous true story that drew the attention of the entire nation, is a thrilling drama about the spiritual collision of two broken lives.  When Brian Nichols - on the run as the subject of a city wide manhunt and desperate to make contact with his newborn son - takes recovering meth addict Ashley Smith hostage in her own apartment, she turns for guidance to Rick Warren’s best-selling inspirational book, The Purpose Driven Life.  While reading aloud, Ashley and her
would-be killer each face crossroads where despair and death intersect hope.

After watching the movie trailer I am anxious to see the full movie in the theaters!  I know it came out on September 18th but I have not yet had an opportunity to go see it.  I had heard of the original release of the book and the basic story, but never really put myself in Ashley's place.

Now that I've seen the trailer, I have wondered what I would have done in that same situation?  Would I have taken the chance to read aloud to a desperate stranger holding me at gunpoint?  Would I have the courage to share God's Love in the face of my fear?

Although I have not personally went through a situation like Ashley did, I have had circumstances in my life where I felt that I was held "captive" by the circumstances.  Only with God's help was I able to overcome the problems and continue living a life of Faith and Love.

I hope you also will take the time to go see Captive in the theater - or read the book for yourself.
