CAPTIVE, based on a miraculous true story that drew the attention of the entire nation, is a thrilling drama about the spiritual collision of two broken lives. When Brian Nichols - on the run as the subject of a city wide manhunt and desperate to make contact with his newborn son - takes recovering meth addict Ashley Smith hostage in her own apartment, she turns for guidance to Rick Warren’s best-selling inspirational book, The Purpose Driven Life. While reading aloud, Ashley and her would-be killer each face crossroads where despair and death intersect hope.
The movie stars David Oyelowo, who played Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in the recent film, Selma.
My review:
This book really drove home the point that things happen for a reason and people are put in your life for a purpose. She struggled with drugs for years and then held hostage and her perspective changes. It also helped me think about the people behind the crimes. They are human and flawed like i am. Everyone has a story and i really enjoyed reading Ashley's and how she got through her abduction by treating him as a person and with much prayer!!! She didnt treat him as a monster but as a person looking for direction and someone to listen.
