Overcomer-What do you Allow to Define you?: A Review

This new book is based on the new motion picture, Overcomer, by Alex Kendrick and Stephen Kendrick, who are brothers. Before this movie, the brothers’ latest movie is War Room, which continues to be popular on DVD.

The film Overcomer will be showing in theaters August 2019 and should be available on DVD before the end of 2019.

My wife and I just read the book Overcomer which has just come off the press and find it a tremendous story.

WHAT DO YOU ALLOW TO DEFINE YOU?

Life changes overnight for coach John Harrison when his high school basketball team’s state championship dreams are crushed under the weight of unexpected news. When the largest manufacturing plant in town suddenly shuts down and hundreds of families begin moving away, John must come to grips with the challenges facing his family and his team. Urged by the school’s principal to coach a sport he doesn’t know or like, John is frustrated and questioning his worth…until he crosses paths with a student struggling with her own journey.

Filled with a powerful mix of faith, a twist of humor, and a ton of heart, the Kendrick Brothers return to theaters with Overcomer, an inspiring family drama that dares to leave you filled with hope, inspired to dream, and asks the question: What do you allow to define you?

I encourage you to read this book before or after you watch the movie. You can gain many more details reading the book that it will make the movie even better for you after reading the book.

Hannah the struggling student is being raised by her grandmother. She has gotten into trouble at her previous schools. When Hannah and her grandmother visit the Brookshire Christian School, they are impressed with the principal and the nice facilities but are sure they will not afford the tuition. When the principal tells them that a friend of the school has already paid the whole year’s tuition, it is a blessing they cannot turn down! Hannah needs to be in school, anyway, and this may just be the opportunity waiting for her to do better than how she fared in the other schools.

Hannah’s grandmother reminds Hannah that she must obey the rules and not get into trouble like she has in the previous schools. For some reason Hannah just cannot stop stealing. While things are not perfect at Brookshire for Hannah, she finds Jesus and accepts Him as her Savior. Hannah is helped in this journey of discovery with the coach and his wife and the principal, Olivia Brooks, who all help Hannah in her quest to find Jesus, which she does. This is a beautiful story. I highly recommend it.
