(RNS) "Miracles From Heaven" finished its first weekend in the No. 3 spot at the box office, bringing in $1.9 million on opening day and, more important to Christy Beam, a message of "hope and encouragement" to its audiences.
Beam is the real-life mom played in the film by Jennifer Garner. And "Miracles From Heaven" shares her family's story: how her middle daughter, Annabel, was diagnosed with an incurable digestive disorder, how the 10-year- old fell three stories into an old, hollowed out tree and how - spoiler alert - she experienced a miraculous healing.
The Christian mom of three, who lives with her family in Texas, shared how truth is sometimes stranger than fiction, what not to say to those struggling with illness and what it's like to have Garner play you in a movie. The interview has been edited for length and clarity.
