It's the shocking stuff of funerals or national tragedies that yank our eyes toward eternity. So is the disappearance of your two-year-old child. The Way Home records the true-to-life story of how a couple estranged from each other find their eternal focus once more when what matters most to them is suddenly taken away. Everything is normal when Randy and Christal wake up to pack for their vacation that day. The bickering over Randy's workaholism is normal. The pre-vacation stress is normal. The cows next door are normal. But the suddenly empty tricycle in the driveway is definitely not normal. When little Joe goes missing, a community unites to search for the missing toddler. What follows is truly gripping.
I truly enjoyed The Way Home. It's a beautiful reminder of the uncertainty of today. I was encouraged by the biblical hope offered by friends who comfort Randy and Christal in the movie. This is one faith-based movie that emphasizes faith in Christ rather than mere faith in faith. What I found most amazing was how closely the story line apparently follows the actual events it seeks to depict. It's filmed onsite at the actual house where these incredible events took place. In fact, some of the real-life players appear in the movie. This movie has duly earned the Dove family-approved seal. I would recommend it to every family!
