Description
David, a widower, is working himself to death. Late nights doing paperwork and running on fumes is normal. Bills are piling up by the week, and foreclosure looms on the horizon. Blaming God for his wife's death, he ends his relationship with the church. Steven, the remaining Christian of the household, has been watching his father's unhealthy lifestyle with great concern. With help from his grandpa and best friend Maggie, Steven reaches out to his father in any way he can. Despite his grieving and worsening financial problems, David begins seeking an answer to the question haunting him since his wife's death...WHY? Standing Firm is a story of suffering, God's purpose in it, and being joyful despite it.

Reviews
"Standing Firm is a dramatic portrayal of one family's tragedy and the challenges they face in a struggle to survive financially, relationally and spiritually. Production qualities are top-notch, the story is gripping and the power of God to transform lives is crystal clear. Believers will find it a dynamite tool to share the gospel with others." --Tim Wildmon, President, American Family Association
"Standing Firm is a realistic portrayal of the struggles and pains that we go through as Christians. Your faith will be strengthened and uplifted through the story of this film." -Jeremiah W.
"Standing Firm is a strong and clear picture of how someone shouldn't waver in their faith. The Bible says that if you deny Christ before men, He will deny you before the Father. Standing firm in your faith is a cornerstone of being Christian and this movie stresses this and shows you how it's done. The storyline is great, the cinematography is up there with movies that cost a hundred times more to make. This is Kyle Prohaska's first movie but shouldn't be his last. I've got 4 movies at the front of my collection -- "Flywheel", "Facing the Giants", "Fireproof" and now "Standing Firm". A great movie for your collection and as a gift." -mikedonnanancy
"This movie is one that every Christian should own. The story is one that we all can relate to in terms of dealing with pain and suffering in our lives. It is hard to believe how well done this production is for the limited budget, but it delivers, and delivers in a powerful way. The music score goes well with the movie and it really helps you feel the emotions involved in the story. It shows that no matter what we go through in this life, God will never leave us and is always there, even if we falter. I'll recommend this movie as an excellent choice. Thanks to Praise Pictures and I look forward to the next movie." -Steve Gilliatt
"I watched Standing Firm and found it to have two components often lacking in Christian Films; namely authenticity and believable characters and dialogue. I feel like the people in the film could have been people I know. When a key character comes to Christ, it's so classic to see him beating himself up because he couldn't lead his co-worker to Christ on his first day back to work since putting his faith in Jesus. I've seen new believers with that sense of "What I'm experiencing is real, why can't I just share it"? and the passion to do so. I pray that this film does great on DVD because it speaks to our times, dealing directly with God's providence and sovereignty in the flattening of the housing bubble and the economic crisis. I highly recommend this film." -J. Olson, Adana, Turkey
