Movie Review: Redeeming Love

It's my first movie of 2022! Allison and I went to see Redeeming Love over the weekend. I read the book in early 2021 after getting it for a Christmas present from my sister. I ended up enjoying the book a lot more than I expected to but wasn't sure what to expect from the movie.

Plot: Sold into prostitution as a child, Angel knows nothing but betrayal. Can her heart ever be mended?

Review: I was pleasantly surprised by how good a job I think they did turning this book into a movie. Yes, there were parts that were changed or left out, but the finished product felt very true to the movie. Allison struggled with it a little because it's very tough subject matter, and it is for sure difficult to watch Angel be abused over and over again, but it really is a very good story. It doesn't focus quite as much on the religious aspects of the story {trying to make this a commercial film, I think, instead of a Christian one}. Overall I enjoyed it!

5 Year Comparisons

I really love this once a year post to look at my babies together at the same age. With them at such different ages/stages, it's hard to see them day-to-day and see how much they favor each other. But in this pic, I totally see it!

As always stats fascinate me! My kids are all so similar in size at each age - I'll be so curious to see how they end up.
