A veteran supporting cast graces the inspirational Beyond the Next Mountain. The story follows what happens when the Christian gospel of John finds its way to one of the most violent tribes in India and changes its leaders from bellicose warriors to Christ-loving pacifists. One of the converts, Rochunga Pudaite, is so moved and changed inside that he launches the 'Bibles for the World' organization, so that others can hear the gospel as well. Jon Lormer, Edward Ashley and Barry Foster are among the familiar faces in the cast. James F. Collier (Joni), a veteran helmer of Christian cinema, directs. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

In 1967, Joni Eareckson Tada broke her spinal cord in a diving accident, and at the tender age of 17 she was consigned to a wheelchair for life. This biographical drama (based on her book) is about her courage in adjusting to the results of the accident. At first, Tada suffered through several operations and long rehabilitation sessions, but nothing was able to bring back the use of her arms and legs. After she goes home to her family in Maryland, she starts to draw and paint by holding the brush in her mouth. This creative outlet, combined with her spunk and a growing religious faith, not only brings her through her darkest moments, but points the way toward a future career and mission. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

Produced by Billy Graham's Evangelistic Association and based on an autobiographical novel by Corrie Ten Boom, The Hiding Place is an account of a Dutch family who risk their lives by offering a safe haven for Jews during World War II. ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi

In this religious movie, a married pair of television writers begin researching a script on restless teenagers and end up as born-again Christians.

Jamie Hopkins (Cliff Richard) is a wayward young man who lives with his mother and steals drugs from the doctor's office where she works. His similarly unscrupulous girlfriend Carol (Ann Holloway) lives gleefully in her similarly amoral life until she is converted to Christianity when she attends a traveling religious crusade led by evangelist Billy Graham (himself). Carol's life is changed as a result of her conversion, and she attempts to show her wayward boyfriend the light. Jamie is eventually prepared to change his lowdown ways in this predictable, overly simple story of spiritual redemption and religious piety. Pop singer Richard delivers three songs as well as starring as the principle character in the film. ~ Dan Pavlides, Rovi
