A Must See!, Aug 19 2008

This review is from: Faith Les/death&res/home Dvd V4 (DVD)
We have been showing the Faith Lessons series in both our adult and youth Sunday School classes. This particular DVD has been especially valuable, offering extraordinary cultural and historical insight into teachings of Christ and into the events leading up to and including his death. I cannot give a higher recommendation in terms of videography, accuracy of teaching, quality of presentation, and spiritual impact.

Our Lutheran church bible study program used this twice with the same large group due to requests. Once as the program directed and a second time with printed lesson materials organized by our Bible study pastor to be used in conjunction with the DVD. I enjoyed it so much that I ordered a copy for myself. Having been to Israel lately with a tour group I valued Ray Vander Laan's presentation. I have recently sent a DVD copy to my son so he could share this with his family during Lent and the Easter celebration. In the past I had also obtained "The Early Church" which was also used by our group. Thank you. A dedicated Bible Study student.

That the world may know with Ray Vander Laan, Feb 3 2012

That the World May Know Series (now twelve volumes in number and, prayerfully, counting) is a profoundly moving and highly instructive series on 'on site' lessons within the Holy Land, upon the sites where Jesus Christ, and those others whose lives and ministries are illuminated within the pages of the Bible, lived, worked, walked, laughed, cried and taught, providing the insight to the culture, the times, the geography, life situations, and circumstances in which they were so fashioned, that the message conveyed to all who would accept it, would remain alive within their very lives and surroundings; as such, recapturing these settings, Ray Vander Laan provides to us the intent and symbology which those who spoke with God's Voice, had passionately intended. Some scriptures will gain a new depth, others will gain new aspects/facets which we were unaware comprised the 'whole picture', while others will gain such an impressive new emphasis, which up till now, had not been available to us because we have not lived during those times, and in those places, yet in this 'new hearing' imparting a new message to lift our heart, delight our mind, sustain the body, both humble and encourage the soul, and further illuminate our path walking in the steps of our Lord Jesus Christ.
For many, like myself, too ill or otherwise unable to make the journey to join those fortunate ones experiencing this lectures series in person, this serves as 'the next best thing', and a profound blessing and a deeply moving (to the point of tears in many cases) testiment and testimony to our hearts, minds, and souls, of the Tremendous Truth and Living Love of our wonderful Lord God.
I have watched these lessons countless times; they never get old (how could God's Message get old?), and my wife and I have given or loaned out many copies through the years to others who were similarly blessed.
My review for each volume of this series will remain unchanged for each and every one, for any indepth review will be inadequate to convey that which is contained within; like someone who sees a work of art who does not have the words to adequately describe, or to do justice to, this masterpiece, all I can do is urge you to come and partake of this blessing and let the scriptures come alive within you once again!
