Christian network Upliftv is planning the debut of By the Grace of Bob, where a New York-based Jewish filmmaker joins forces with a Baptist preacher from Alabama to record a movie about the Prodigal Son story.

The comedy is the first of a series of premieres for January, which also includes The Town that Came A-Courtin, starring Lauren Holly from NCIS with Mark Harmon. The film centres on a former obituary writer that pens a series of novels with quirky characters that come to life in a mysterious town and become obsessed with helping her find true love.

Walk on Water: Family Reunion meanwhile is a movie spinoff of the 2009-2011 series Walk on Water. Together again, Lilly and MacKenzie support and comfort one another through personal and family challenges, culminating in a mutual redefinition of their faith and view of life and spirituality.

And finally, the era-based Wings of The Wind is set in 1946. A young woman faces painful events that shake her faith’s foundation and force her to dig deeper for answers.

“These films combine laughter, drama, romance and comedy into a soul recipe that breeds hope, redemption and unity,” said Bob Higley, CEO of Upliftv. “I can’t think of a more powerful or important message with which to start a new year.”
