Product Description From the award winning producers of FLYWHEEL, comes an action-packed drama about a Christian high school football coach who uses his undying faith to battle the giants of fear and failure. In six years of coaching, Grant Taylor has never led his Shiloh Eagles to a winning season. After learning that he and his wife Brooke face infertility, Grant discovers that a group of fathers are secretly organizing to have him dismissed as head coach. Devastated by his circumstances, he cries out to God in desperation. When Grant receives a message from an unexpected visitor, he searches for a stronger purpose for his football team. He dares to challenge his players to believe God for the impossible on and off the field. When faced with unbelievable odds, the Eagles must step up to their greatest test of strength and courage. What transpires is a dynamic story of the fight between faith and fear. Facing the Giants is a powerful experience for the whole family inspiring viewers to live with faith, hope, and love!

Changing Your Attitudes Can Change Your Life November 30, 2008 Jan Peczkis (Chicago IL, USA) Everything goes wrong for Coach Grant and his high school football team. Six years as coach, and he hasn't had a single winning season. The players have a defeatist attitude against good teams, and also manage to goof up when playing weaker teams. The players fail to apply themselves in either academics or on the field. One after another, the few talented and motivated players leave for better teams. The problems pile up. There is gossip about the need to replace Grant with a coach who can win. "The team, the kids, and the community deserve better." His wife cannot get pregnant after four years of trying. On top of all that, there are annoyances that add insult to injury. There is a mysterious odor in the home, and the family car has a battery that keeps on dying. A change in attitude can lead to a change in circumstances. The players focus on Christ, resolve to do their very best for Him, and praise Him in victory and in defeat. The rapid building of a fortification wall by the Prophet Nehemia, with each person responsible for only the segment of wall in front of his home, serves as the inspiration for an impregnable defense. Christ's teaching about the narrow entry into heaven serves as a metaphor for accurately-centered field-goal kicks. A delightful and inspiring movie!
Facing Life's Giants November 29, 2008 Mariela Henry (Spring Valley, New York) This is a must see movie for all people of all ages. Facing the Giants is a movie sent from Jesus Christ who is God above to remind us that we will have many giants in this life. However we will always have the victory over them as Christians(True Believers)because He was Victorious over all trials and tribulations of this life that we go through.I personally have watched it 7 times and this won't be the last. Everytime you watch it something new is revealed to encourage you in this life depite your circumstances.
Flywheel meets football November 25, 2008 Disciple4thelord (New Mexico) If you liked this film, please support their other films. Try Flywheel. I noticed in facing the giants that Auston Motors was on the license plate of the truck that he received as a gift. This film did present a Christian message. We need to support the Christian film industry.
Awesome Movie November 24, 2008 Michael E. Puskas (Columbus, OH USA) I have watched Facing the Giants several times. The inspiration and encouragement I have received is priceless! I couldn't believe that a church put this together! All I can say is WOW. The message is powerful and speaks to all aspects of life. I would encourage getting this DVD and watching it once or twice a year.
Watch the training scene between Grant Taylor and the football team on youtube. Enough said. November 24, 2008 Andrew Chang: 7-Hour School Week and Health, Wealth, Truth (Bay Area) Watch the training scene between Grant Taylor and the football team on youtube. Enough said.
