Thanks to Propel for the opportunity to review this film. All thoughts and opinions shared below are my own.
"I can only imagine" is a song that was released in 1999. I was 16 years old and I remember hearing this song on the radio in my car for the first time. Do you remember the first time you heard it? Talk about an impact; this song rocked my world. When I saw there was going to be a movie about the song, I was so very excited to see it! I never dug into the history of the song or why the band "Mercy Me" chose to record it. How awesome that we all get to see how "I can only imagine" came to be on the big screen!
I'm so excited to share with you about I Can Only Imagine, coming to theaters March 16th! Get the babysitter on the phone, grab your honey and prepare to be moved by the inspiring story behind the astoundingly popular song!
About the Movie
It’s the song that brings ultimate hope to so many … often in the midst of life’s most challenging moments. Amazingly, the song was written in mere minutes by MercyMe lead singer Bart Millard. In reality, those lyrics took a lifetime to craft.
Although he found faith at a young age, life wasn’t easy for Bart. He leaned into an active imagination and his love of music as escapes from a troubled home life. As he grew older, Bart turned to football in hopes of somehow connecting with his abusive father. But a career-ending injury—combined with the vision of a teacher who saw unlimited potential—set Bart on a musical pathway.
Chasing a dream while running from broken relationships with his father and Shannon, his childhood sweetheart, Bart hits the road in an old, decrepit tour bus with his new band MercyMe—named for his grandmother’s favorite expression. With the guidance of a grizzled music-industry insider, the band begins a journey none of them could ever have imagined.
Directed by the Erwin Brothers (October Baby, Moms' Night Out, and Woodlawn), I CAN ONLY IMAGINEstars J. Michael Finley, Madeline Carroll, Trace Adkins, Priscilla Shirer, with Cloris Leachman and Dennis Quaid.
A gripping reminder of the power of forgiveness, I CAN ONLY IMAGINE beautifully illustrates that no one is ever too far from God’s love—or from an eternal home in Heaven.

ReplyDeleteThe song has not impacted my life yet. I only heard it for the first time today. Bernie Wallace BWallace1980(at)hotmail(d0t)com
ReplyDeleteI so much want see this movie with my husband. We seldom see movies because of the lack of inspirational films shown. I believe God cam move mountains through faith. And I know family's whom have went through simular lives and I know movies like this can help them find peace, redemption and be forgiven. Can't Wait To See it.
ReplyDeleteYes, it has impacted my life.
