J. Michael Finley gives a stunning performance as Bart Millard, the lead singer of Mercy Me who wrote the chart-topping hit, I Can Only Imagine.  The movie tells the story behind the song.

Starting with his childhood, growing up with a love for music, and an abusive father, Bart leaves to start working with a band and writing songs.  He receives counsel from Scott Brickle, played by Trace Adkins, who encourages Bart to dig in and write about his true feelings.

Along the way, Bart is introduced to recording artists Michael W. Smith and Amy Grant, who takes interest in his song, and wanted to sing it to introduce her comeback effort.  The way it plays out is a starting point for Bart and the band Mercy Me, that causes their career to take off in an amazing way.

This movie is rated PG, and is a great film for the whole family.  You will laugh, you may cry, and you’ll be cheering in the aisles at the end.
