Entrusted With Arrows reviewed on Caribbean Wordkeeper!


Ruth writer of the blog “Caribbean Wordkeeper” just posted a review of our documentary! Please take a moment to check it out!

…Set in the United States of America, Entrusted With Arrows is an hour-long documentary film that challenges Christian men to be the fathers God designed them to be (spiritual leaders at home….. responsible, God-led, husbands and fathers). The overarching theme is one of recovery… the willingness to take even drastic steps to recover from the family leadership crisis that seems to be prevalent the world over…
