Forty-Seven Days with Jesus Brings The Easter Story To Life

 Are you looking for the perfect Easter movie to watch with the whole family? Check out Forty-Seven Days with Jesus. This movie will help you get ready for Easter Sunday.


Many thanks to Reel Big Studios for providing a sample of the product for this review. Opinions are 100% my own.

 If you ask me what my favorite holiday is, the answer would be Easter. Easter has always been a holiday that I look forward to. As a child, I loved Easter egg hunts and finding my Easter basket on Easter morning. When I became an adult, Easter took on a whole new meaning for me.

 As a child, I did not know who Jesus was or even that there was a God. My parents did not attend church. We simply celebrated Easter as a holiday that was all about chocolate bunnies and getting together with family. Then after a tragic death in the family and severe depression that almost led to me dying, I started searching for answers. After many years of getting nowhere, I was introduced to Jesus. It was while I was attending college, that I gave my life to Jesus. 

Easter is all about the cross and the love of Jesus

Easter Sunday is now all about me receiving a second chance at life. Celebrating Jesus's death may seem strange to some people but to those who have accepted Him, it is about the love that Jesus has for us. That He chose to take our punishment for our sins and die on the cross. It is about Jesus rising from the grave and giving us hope. 

Forty-Seven Days with Jesus Brings The Easter Story To Life

 I had the opportunity to view the movie Forty-Seven Days with Jesus Brings before it shows in theaters and this is a movie that you need to see. Forty-Seven Days with Jesus is a heartwarming Easter tale that brings the Easter story to life with a focus on life in today's world.

 Buy tickets today to see Forty-Seven Days with Jesus in theaters ONLY on March 11, 12, and 14


Synopsis of Forty-Seven Days with Jesus: A disconnected family finds hope and unity through a cinematic retelling of Jesus’ final 47 days on Earth. Starring Yoshi Barrigas and Catherine Lidstone from The Chosen and featuring unforgettable original music, FORTY-SEVEN DAYS WITH JESUS brings the Easter story to life and reminds us of The Gospel’s enduring impact.

 If you love musicals, you will love how this movie retells the final 47 days of Jesus in a musical format. This movie does a wonderful job of retelling the bible story of Jesus' final days. The movie starts with a typical family living today, living their busy life and getting ready for Easter. This family was preparing for Easter Sunday without a focus on Jesus.

That all changed when the grandpa of the family decided to read a bedtime story to the grandkids. The story was written with facts from the bible about the days leading up to Jesus dying on the cross. This led to the children wanting to know more and the parents remembering the story that they had heard as children. 

Forty-Seven Days with Jesus brings the meaning of Easter to life in a format that is friendly for the whole family. 

 If you have seen the movie The Passion For Christ, then you know that most movies about the death of Jesus are not suitable for kids to watch. What Jesus went through before Easter was not pretty, like the typical Easter story that kids learn in Sunday school. Kids are not ready to handle, the scary painful parts and I think that the producers of this movie thought about that. 

You will love how this movie is written with the whole family in mind. This movie helps kids understand the true Easter story without the bloody scary parts. 

Watch the official trailer of Forty-Seven Days with Jesus

 This is a movie that you need to watch with the whole family. It will help your family understand why we celebrate Easter. This movie will help you explain to your children that Easter is not just a story. It is about a true event that took place many years ago. Forty-Seven Days With Jesus will help you remember why you chose to follow Him.

Healthy Adult Easter Basket Gifts

 Why should kids have all the fun on Easter morning? Easter baskets aren’t just limited to the kiddos! Check out some unique health-conscious products that would make for a great addition to an adult Easter basket.


 Easter is one of the best holidays to celebrate. It is a holiday that celebrates Jesus dying on the cross for our sins and is the best reason to celebrate. It is a holiday that involves so many fun events. Events like Easter egg hunts, sunrise service, Easter brunch, and my favorite Easter baskets. 

 Easter has a special place in my heart as I was born on Maundy Thursday. So there are many years when my birthday is on or around Easter Sunday. As a kid, my grandma would always give me an Easter basket as a birthday present. Now as an adult, I still love Easter baskets.

I love making Easter baskets for kids and I also love receiving an Easter basket. That's right, adults should join in on the Easter fun and wake up to an Easter basket made for adults.

 Why should kids have all the fun on Easter morning?

 An adult Easter basket should be filled with Easter candy and gifts that make us happy. Gifts that I would be excited to receive in my basket on Easter morning would have to be related to health and fitness. Health and fitness is my passion and I would get excited about health and fitness gifts.

So I made a list of healthy products that I would love to receive in my Easter basket. I know receiving a basket filled with candy would be more exciting to some but let's not forget about the new year’s resolutions we all set at the beginning of this year! Swimsuit season is coming. So check out some healthy products that prove that healthy does not have to be boring.

Don't forget the sweet treats

 An Easter basket is not complete without some sweet treats. So make sure to add some dairy-free chocolate to the basket. My favorite dairy-free chocolate is made by No Whey Foods. Discovering a dairy allergy through an elimination diet and an at-home food allergy blood test was not a good thing for this chocolate lover. So I was glad that my daughter gave me a gift of No Whey chocolate. It was so delicious that I request it every Christmas.




The Passion Of The Christ Movie Is About The True Meaning Of Easter ~ Giveaway

 Looking for a movie to watch before Easter? The Passion Of Christ is a movie that shows the true meaning of Easter from the perspective of Jesus - what He endured on Good Friday 


Many thanks to Pure Flix for providing a sample of the product for this review. Opinions are 100% my own. 

 Easter is a time for rejoicing that Christ paid the price for our sins. This Christian holiday is also a time for remembering the sacrifice that Jesus made for all humankind. For many Christians, Easter is a sacred holiday that is just as special as Chrismas. Christmas celebrates the birth of Christ and Easter celebrates the resurrection of Christ dying for our sins. This is the holiday that celebrates the significance of Easter of Jesus Christ's triumph over death. His resurrection means the eternal life that is granted to all who believe in Him.

 As you prepare for this Easter season, I want to recommend my favorite movie that I like watching before Easter Sunday. My favorite Easter movie is The Passion Of The Christ and this awesome movie is available to watch on Pure Flix along with many other best Christian Easter Movies


Pure Flix has the best selection of Christian movies

 Pure Flix has the best selection of faith-based movies that are perfect for Easter movie night. Pure Flix has Easter movies for the whole family. From Easter movies for kids all the way to adult movies that have a realistic depiction of the final 12 hours of Jesus Christ's sacrificial crucifixion in Jerusalem.

Easter is a time for rejoicing and remembering the sacrifice that Jesus made for all of humankind. This selection of Easter movies will guide you as you prepare for the Easter season. These entertainment choices are sure to leave you feeling encouraged and inspired!

The Passion Of The Christ tells Jesus Christ's sacrificial story

 I love watching faith-based movies online at Pure Flix and in movie theaters. The last faith-based movie that I enjoyed watching was Tysons Run. Now that Easter will be here soon, I am preparing my heart for Easter with The Passion of Christ movie. This is a movie that gives a realistic depiction of the final 12 hours of Jesus Christ's sacrificial crucifixion in Jerusalem. This is a movie that will move you to grow deeper in your faith.  This movie shows the viewer what Christ went through to save us from our sins. As this rated R movie shows how Christ was beaten and tortured, it is one that is made for those over the age of 17.

#PureFlixEasterMIN #MomentumInfluencerNetwork 

The Passion of The Christ is Available only from 20 March to 19 April 2022 on Pure Flix. This Christian movie stars Jim Caviezel and is directed by Mel Gibson. The Passion Of The Christ is a story of the trial, beating, and crucifixion of Jesus on Good Friday. This movie is intense and eye-opening as it has helped me realize the price that Christ paid for me. 

 As a believer, I have read the Easter story many times in the bible and thought that I truly understood what Christ went through on Good Friday and the days leading up to his death. I knew that Jesus was killed on the cross and resurrected 3 days later. I knew that Jesus loved me so much that he was willing to die for my sins but The Passion of The Christ film put this bible story in a film and showed me the reality of what Jesus went through. It is a movie that you must watch before Easter.

WARNING: This is the same version that debuted in theaters and is unedited. It is a graphic depiction of the last 12 hours of Jesus’ life and is intended for mature audiences only. 

The Passion of The Christ is Easter from the perspective of Jesus. This movie makes you feel like you are there in Jerusalem, watching what Jesus endured the Friday before Easter ~ Good Friday. The intense movie shows the love that Jesus has for us and has many teaching moments beyond Jesus saving us from our sins.

Some of the teachable moments that I gained from this Easter Sunday movie were

• Easter from the perspective of Jesus - what He endured on Good Friday 

• Love others as Jesus loved us 

• Jesus is the way, the truth, and the light 

• Serve others as Jesus served us 

• The magnitude of Jesus’ sacrifice for us

 I love the many bible verses that are in the Christian movie that deepen my understanding of this movie that was made for Easter. This was a bible verse that really stood out.

“Those who passed by hurled insults at him, shaking their heads and saying, “So! You who are going to destroy the temple and build it in three days, come down from the cross and save yourself!” In the same way, the chief priests and the teachers of the law mocked him among themselves. “He saved others,” they said, “but he can’t save himself! Let this Messiah, this king of Israel, come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe.” Those crucified with him also heaped insults on him. – Mark 15:29-32 (NIV)

 I could go on talking about The Passion Of The Christ but I don't want to spoil the movie for you. So, SIGN UP for Pure Flix now to prepare for Easter! Pure Flix so you can watch this movie and many other movies that were made for Easter. Pure Flix is the best online movie streaming website for Easter movies.

1. Gazillion Bubbles Storm 



 Most toddlers love bubbles and they can be entertained for a long time watching the bubbles float into the air. The problem with keeping kids entertained with bubbles is the endless blowing that most parents have to do. Then there is the spilling of the bubble solution when kids grab the bottle of bubble solution. The Gazillion Bubbles Bubble Storm is an Easter gift that both parents and kids will enjoy.

 Create bigger, better bubbles in seconds with the Gazillion Bubbles Storm! Simply slide the bottle into the bottle holder until it clicks, then flip the bottle upside down and watch the bubble magic. This innovative and new solution dispensing technology functions as the ‘on/off’ button. With its compact design, this machine is made to be taken around for endless bubble fun! Each Bubble Storm includes a tray and 8 oz. bottle of premium Gazillion Solution. The Bubble Storm is not available online at this time so I included a link to a similar Gazillion product.
