When Calls the Heart DVD Review: "Troubled Hearts" and #Hearties Giveaway!

I have been given the opportunity by FishFlix.com to review Christian movies, including the 2-hour DVD releases of When Calls the Heart Season 3. Today, I am reviewing the DVD "Troubled Hearts."

You can order the When Calls the Heart Season 3 DVD set by following the link.

Watch the trailer here:

Summary from  DVD case:

Big revelations are in store for Hope Valley as Elizabeth moves into her own rowhouse, dismaying Jack, who has been planning to build a new home for the both of them.  Rosemary discovers that Lee has taken out a loan and worries that he is in financial difficulties.  And Jesse, the young drifter who works in Abigail's kitchen, has information that could ruin Pastor Frank's good standing in Hope Valley, and begins his plan to extort the pastor with an old "Wanted" poster...


Favorite Quotes:

Elizabeth: "It's time for me to put down roots here.  Hope Valley is my home, and it's the place I love."
Jack: "And the people you love, right?"
Elizabeth: "You could say that..."


Rosemary: "Lee, you're making my dreams come true.  No one's ever done anything like this for me before."
Lee: "Because no one's ever felt for you the way that I do."


Rosemary (to Elizabeth): "Keep your man busy so he isn't in a tizzy."


Jack: "There are other ways to keep warm."
Elizabeth: "A stove, a campfire, or maybe even a blanket?"


Jack (to Cody): "It feels like someone took something from you.  Like there's a giant hole inside of you.  But one day, that feeling is going to go away."


Frank: "You said you would be someone I could lean on.  I asked you to remember that when the time came, and now the time has come."
Abigail: "I'll have to think about it."


Jack: "The first time we met, I thought you were...attractive."
Elizabeth: "The first time we met, I thought you were...kind of cute."
Jack: "Kind of cute?  Not like ruggedly cute?  Not even handsome?"


Abigail: "You're leaving?
Frank: "San Francisco--Maybe I was never meant to be a pastor.
Abigail: "Wrong.  You were meant to be our pastor."


Abigail: "All the times you preached mercy and forgiveness, they heard you.  I'll stand with you."
Frank: "Got any other suggestions?"
Abigail: "You might pray for guidance.  I'm told it helps."


Elizabeth: "Would you like me to sing to you?"
Opal: "No, you've sung enough.  I like the crickets."
Elizabeth: "Oh. Tough audience."


Jack: "Dreams have been known to come true."

Frank: "Without Matt Landry, there would be no Frank Hogan.  His anger taught me kindness.  His greed taught me generosity.  His indifference taught me compassion."


Gowen (to Frank): "Remember--you didn't dodge a bullet in there.  I shoved you out of the way."

Lee (to Rosemary): "You're the best part of my life."


Favorite Moments: 

- Jack helps Elizabeth move in and gives her a vase for a housewarming gift.
- Elizabeth asks Jack to kill the family of spiders behind her bed.  He says, "Keep your man busy, and he won't be in a tizzy. I read Rosemary's column, too."  Funny!
- Jack has a heart to heart with Cody over losing their dads.
- Elizabeth has a sweet/funny moment with Opal where she learns about Brownie the Bear.
- Jack and Elizabeth have a romantic moment by the campfire where they dream about their future together.


Likes:

- Elizabeth is putting down roots in Hope Valley.  Hamilton and her high society life are far from her mind.
- Jack is making plans to build a house for himself, and we infer that he wants to build it for his future with Elizabeth.
- Lee and Rosemary's relationship deepens, especially as Rosemary becomes more selfless.
- The children of Hope Valley are an important part of the storyline with providing plenty of cute factor.
- The use of Ecclesiastes Chapter 3 in the storyline.

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

Dislikes:

- Nora and Gowen's relationship and history are unexplained.
- Dottie tells Bill that her late husband was no saint.  This is a strange statement that does not line up with what we know of Silas Ramsey.


DVD Features:

- "Jack Thornton: A Picture in Time"
- "The Hearties"
