Surprised by Oxford (Movie Review and Giveaway)

Ciao, Beautiful People!

It’s the holiday season for love. However, it is not only romantic love but an agape, more profound love.

In collaboration with Evolve Studios, we are offering an opportunity to see its new movie, Surprised by Oxford, on Vimeo.

Surprised by Oxford is based on the award-winning memoir of Dr. Carolyn “Caro” Drake, an intelligent but emotional college student torn by her past. Drake is an American student who arrives at the University of Oxford intending to attain her Ph.D. in Romantic English Literature. Her confusion about the true meaning of life makes her friendship with a charming young man difficult. However, she reluctantly becomes willing to open her heart to vulnerability, faith, and love.

Is there something more to life than success and fame?

You must watch the movie to discover if Dr. Drake finds true joy. Here is a sneak peek to the movie:

Surprised by Oxford is available to Buy or Rent on Vimeo during November!

*The movie does contain some adult language and adult situations. Viewer discretion is advised.

Thank You Giveaway!

Hello Beautiful People,

I wanted to say thank you so much for being a part of our blog family of subscribers. Would you believe Bubblingwitheleganceandgrace.com started in 2009 and would not be what it is today without you taking the time to read our blog posts. In collaboration with KatherinesCorner.com, we appreciate and invite you to enter the “Thank You” giveaway for a chance to win $120.

We are officially in November family, and it can be cold and warm all on the same day. My hubby brought in my fall and winter clothes and shoes. That is a project for me because I have to sort through everything. I have a small space, so I must select what items should be in my wardrobe for the season and what should be stored away. Going through this process helps me because I may purge a few items to give away, which makes me feel good.

What are your fall projects?

Thank you giveaway with Katherine, JT and blogging friends

The New Testament Handbook (Giveaway Winner Announcement)

Hello, Elegant Ones

I know for many people, this week has been filled with extreme shock and sorrow for what has happened to the Israeli people. Many people do not realize that these events are rooted in the foundation of the Old Testament. To understand these events from a biblical point of view,
we need to read and study the Old Testament to know who everyone is and how their decisions and actions caused the turmoil we see today. For some, myself included, the challenge is keeping all the people and events clear to know how to talk about them effectively.

When I read through and study the Bible, I believe having a companion study tool like The Old Testament Handbook is essential when I have questions or want to dive deeper. The Old Testament Handbook is broken down by book and pulls out the necessary details to grasp the bigger narrative. You can use the handbook as a companion tool after reading the Old Testament book or as a stand-alone piece if you want to focus only on the essential parts.

Order your copy of The Old Testament Handbook today!

Giveaway Winner:
Collaborating with Lifeway Christian Resources, we offered our readers a chance to win a $10 Amazon gift card. Congratulations to our winner,

Yeah, Penny! We will be in contact with you about receiving your gift card.

Be on the lookout for our next giveaway coming soon!

God.Family.Football. (Review and Giveaway)

Hello, Elegant Ones!

Today, as the calendar turns to September rolling into fall, many people’s favorite season is coming into full swing. High school football teams are hitting the gridiron field with high hopes and great anticipation of a winning season. Football and fall go hand in hand in some parts of the country. And football at Evangel Christian Academy in Shreveport, LA, is no exception.

Bubblingwitheleganceandgrace.com had the opportunity to preview the new Amazon Feevee docuseries, God.Family.Football., which follows Evangel Eagles as they prepare for and play the 2022 season.

Evangel Christian Academy is known as a football powerhouse, winning fourteen state championships in twenty years, including one national championship in 1999. After a disappointing 2020 season that saw the team finish without a win, the school called on their former coach to bring the team back to its winning ways. Coach Denny Duron comes out of a 30-year retirement to lead the team back to its winning ways. The players are dedicated to Duron but under extreme pressure because there is so much riding on the team doing their best. Getting into the right college, parents wanting them to play better, keeping up with their grades, and knowing the school’s winning legacy are always on their minds. Coach Duron stands on faith in God, focusing on the players by ensuring they put God first. I don’t want to give everything away, but I will say it can be funny, profound, moving, and inspiring simultaneously.

God.Family.Football. is available to watch for free on Amazon Freevee beginning today (September 1st). Stream free on Fire TV, Roku, Amazon Prime Video, or the Amazon Freevee app. NFL quarterback Russell Wilson is the show’s executive producer!

You can watch the trailer here:
