The Facing the Giants Carnival

Movies that have are big Hollywood productions have huge advertising budgets. Some films rely on word of mouth or in this case, word of blog.

Thus, if you’re thinking about seeing Facing the Giants this weekend (check here for local theaters playing the movie), this Carnival is a round-up of amazing posts on a phenomenal movie that’s still in limited release. So many of these posts, like Facing the Giants are inspirational blessings. If you wish to submit to this Carnival in the future, go to http://www.blogcarnival.com”>Blog Carnival and submit your articles on Facing the Giants.

I’m not paid by Sony, Sherwood Pictures or any distributor of the film. This Carnival is a short term project that will last somewhere between 3-8 weeks depending on the level of posts continuing to stream in. So, the plan is for this to peak and then peeter out along with the movie

If you’d like to host a future Carnival, e-mail me. However, I’m prepared to host every Carnival here if needs be.

This week’s posts are draftees from across the Blogosphere and even MySpace, found through the wonders of Technorati. May this carnival be a blessing to you and if haven’t seen Facing the Giants, please see if it’s in a theater near you.
