7 Things You Should Know about the Powerful Film "Beautifully Broken"

Michael Foust : Aug 23, 2018  ChristianHeadlines.com

The faith-based film Beautifully Broken (PG-13) opens this weekend, telling the story of how the lives of three families intersected in a marvelous example of God's sovereignty.
