The Greatest Gift and The Curtain Torn
The Greatest Gift
After being diagnosed with a fatal illness, six-year-old Stephanie Renner's only wish is to be taken
to the top of Mt. Everest so that she can be closer to heaven and talk to Jesus. In desperation, her parents take her to The
Greatest Gift Foundation, an organization which grants sick children their last wish. Mr. Ellis, the foundation's director,
has never failed to grant a child's wish, but now he is being asked to do the impossible. How will he respond to such an impossible
wish?
The Curtain Torn
The Curtain Torn is
inspired by the life of Robert Carter III, of Nomini Hall Plantation on the Northern Neck of Virginia. Inheriting one of the
greatest slave empires in the country, Robert Carter III never felt comfortable with owning other human beings. However, it
was not until he almost died and claimed to have talked to Jesus that he felt compelled to free his slaves, over 500 in total.
While his decision caused him much pain and heartache when family and friends turned against him, he remained faithful to
his commitment and freed more slaves than any individual in American History.
