The movie "I Heard the Bells" is based on the life of one of the greatest American poets, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. He had achieved considerable success in his lifetime when tragedy struck. Facing intense personal heartbreak in the middle of the bloodiest war in American history, his life was overcome with grief, disillusionment, and a deep sense of hopelessness. How do you find hope and healing when everything has fallen apart? Then one day, through the darkness came the sound of church bells ringing in celebration of the Christmas season. And he picked up his pen once more and wrote the carol, "I Heard the Bells." Join us as we hear the Jesus story afresh, looking at the life of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and discover how God is bringing hope, peace, and joy into our broken world.
