Have not seen this yet but looking forward to it.  My sister and my daughter and many friends have seen it and rave about it.  Have to go see it soon.

I was wondering who this is about?  They said it was a true story.

I loved it!

 

@luvmybeetle There is a song by Mercy Me called I Can Only Imagine.  If you have Alexa, ask her to play it.  In the beginning of the movie the guy, Bart who wrote the song was being interviewed.  He said it only took him ten minutes to write the song.  The interviewer (Amy Grant?) then said but it really took you a lifetime to write.  Then the movie tells his life story which led him to write that BEAUTIFUL song.

My husband and I saw it yesterday.  Glad I had some kleenex!  I thought Dennis Quaid did a very good job acting.  This is one of my favorite songs.  In fact we showed a video of Bart singing it at our son's memorial.  Everytime I hear that song on the radio I cry.  We were very fortunate to See Mercy Me in concert several times.

With so many people having rough childhoods, it's a delight to be aware of positive outcomes in their adults lives. Inspiring.
