Movie Review and Giveaway: Indivisible


Synopsis

INDIVISIBLE is based on the extraordinary true story of Army Chaplain Darren Turner and his wife Heather. With a strong, faith-filled marriage, the Turners are ready to follow their calling: serving God, family, and country. 

Fresh from seminary and basic training, Chaplain Turner and his family arrive at Fort Stewart. Yet before the Turners can even unpack their new house, Darren is deployed to Iraq. Heather is left taking care of their three young children alone … as well as serving the families of the other deployed soldiers.

Despite a desire to stay connected with their loved ones, the harsh realities of war take a daily toll over the course of the Battalion’s extended deployment. Meanwhile back home, babies are born, kids keep growing, and nerves are frayed with every late-night knock on the door.

With deeply etched battle scars, the soldiers’ long-awaited homecoming is much different than any of their families anticipated. Carrying burdens the other can’t comprehend, the Turners must decide if they’re willing to face one more battle: the fight to save their marriage.

From the director of The Grace Card and the studio that brought you Fireproof and War Room comes INDIVISIBLE, the story of one marriage … one family … under God. In theaters beginning October 26, the movie stars Sarah Drew, Justin Bruening, Jason George, Tia Mowry, and Madeline Carroll. 


My Review


I loved Indivisible. It is based on a true story involving Army Chaplain, Darren Turner, and his wife, Heather. The Turners have a beautiful family and has an inspiring faith in God. However, their world is turned upside down when he is deployed to Iraq.

Other characters in the movie that many would relate to, as well:
Sgt Shonda Peterson, a single mother that has to leave her child behind with their grandmother.
Major Michael Lewis is an alcoholic and has been on many deployments away from his wife Tonya. They are experiencing marital problems.
Young couple and new parents, Lance and Amanda Brandley.

Heather tries to keep it together without Darren. She starts the Family Readiness Group to help other spouses to cope. While Darren and others, experiences horrors and tragedies that no one should have to. Both go through changes that they had not expected. What happens when they are finally reunited? 

Indivisible is one movie that I believe everyone should see. Especially, military spouses. They would find this story relateable and, also, find comfort. It covers variety of issues, including, post traumatic stress disorder, how to ask for help, and always keep faith in God - He always lead you to where you belong. 

My favorite quote is “Keep the Family Together, Keep the Soldier Together”. Love it!

The acting in the movie was great! And I loved the beautiful music. 

I would give Indivisible one hundred stars if I could. I highly highly recommend it. It is most definitely a must see.

Blog Tour and Giveaway: Indivisible by Travis Thrasher


About the Book



Book: Indivisible  
Author: Travis Thrasher  
Genre: General fiction, drama  
Release Date: October 23, 2018  

A novelization of the film Indivisible, this is a story of love and marriage and finding each other all over again. When Darren deploys to Iraq during the surge of 2007, he leaves behind his loving and supportive wife, Heather, and their three small children. Their marriage is the envy of the base, both believing strongly in the calling to serve in the military. Darren knows he’s there to support the troops in their darkest moments as their chaplain, but what he doesn’t realize is that he will face his own dark moments, which will have lasting effects on his marriage. Meanwhile, Heather is creating a community among the other wives and families left behind. She rallies support back home, realizing the dangers the men and women serving overseas are facing, but she also begins to notice a change in Darren during their brief conversations. When he returns, he is no longer the man who left-the man Heather married. His greatest fear is letting her down, but instead of opening up to her, he shuts her out. Their marriage was so strong before. But how can they get back to where they were . . . or find a new way forward? Indivisible is a story of sacrifice, marriage, and faith that will leave audiences full of hope even amid their most challenging times.

More about Indivisible

This book is based on a true story, so we’d love for readers and moviegoers to meet the real Darren and Heather Turner: Darren and Heather Turner both grew up in Georgia, and met in 1999 when Darren was working in campus ministry at the University of Georgia. (Darren is still a Bulldog at heart.) Heather was working as a recruiter for an organization that sends English teachers overseas, and Darren had just returned from a year teaching English in Mongolia when they met. Married that same year, they served another six years together in campus ministry and added three children to their family. Through the husband of a friend of Heather’s, Darren learned that opportunities existed for service as a military chaplain. In 2006, Darren completed seminary, was commissioned in the Army, and deployed almost immediately. Their family’s experiences from this timeframe are the basis of the new movie INDIVISIBLE. Darren, who is on active duty, and Heather are passionate about serving military families, marriage counseling, and leading marriage retreats. The Turners currently live in North Carolina with their children Elie, Samuel, and Meribeth. Learn more about the Turners! [Embed video from youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JfRiNtTXknY]
