On July 18th, 2006, Sony Pictures Home Entertainment (sonypictures.com) is releasing The Second Chance on DVD in stores, which stars multiple award-winning singer/songwriter Michael W. Smith in his acting debut.

In The Second Chance, GRAMMY' Award-winning recording artist Michael W. Smith gives a passionate performance as a suburban pastor who is forced to confront his own prejudices in this powerful tale of faith, redemption and finding common ground. At the wealthy church The Rock, Ethan Jenkins (Smith) brings parishioners to their feet with his electrifying music. But Ethan's unconventional ways upset the church leaders, and as a result, they give him a new assignment: to work for The Rock's sister church in the city's poorest neighbourhood. Joining forces with a brash, street-smart minister (Jeff Obafemi Carr), Ethan's faith and loyalties are put to the ultimate test to overcome differences and restore hope in an area desperate for change.

The Second Chance is about being willing to step outside your comfort zone and serve where you are called.
