Miracles From Heaven Is The “Inspirational Movie of the Year”

As Hollywood races to win the under-estimated Christian moviegoer, Faith-based consumer groups award high marks to Miracles From Heaven. This movie follows on the heels of last year’s popular movie Heaven Is For Real.

Released nationwide on Friday, March 18, Sony/Columbia Picture’s film Miracles From Heaven receives a strong 4 out of 5 stars from faith consumer groups, meaning the film is highly likely to resonate with the Christian audience. The film, based on the best-selling book by Christy Beam, tells the true story of a little girl who faces an extraordinary, life-threatening disease and is miraculously healed following a freak accident and near-death experience.

Hollywood is rolling out faith content with a pace and frequency that is in keeping with demand. Christian consumers need to continue to support studios and box offices for offering the right content for the faith-based audience.
