8 faith-filled films, TV shows to watch this fall, from 'Soul on Fire' to 'House of David'
2. 'Soul on Fire' (in theaters Oct. 10)
From “Soul Surfer” director Sean McNamara, “Soul on Fire” tells the incredible true story of John O’Leary, a boy who miraculously survived a near-fatal fire and grew up to inspire millions. With performances by William H. Macy, John Corbett, Joel Courtney and DeVon Franklin, the film highlights the power of prayer and the importance of community.
O’Leary’s bestselling memoir On Fire: The 7 Choices to Ignite a Radically Inspired Life inspired the Sony Affirm film, which was shot in his hometown of St. Louis, Missouri.
“It’s a true story. It's not glorified or glamorized. It's just a true story of ordinary love and how redemptive that is. And right now, I think we need a healthy dose of that,” O’Leary told The Christian Post.
