Christian DVDs reviewed on a Christian book website! Unbelievable... What is it that I don’t grasp?
My apologies. See, in addition to being a resource about good Christian books, BookDisciple cannot ignore the fact that in this postmodern era where information and experience is everything, there are numerous forms of Christian media being used by God.
Plus, watching videos is a really handy alternative to reading if you are tired or don’t have any exciting books at hand...
Watching Christian DVDs is one way to see some of the most influential Christian teachers without having to travel all over the world. The international postal and courier services are of such quality nowadays that you can obtain anything from anywhere. If you are patient of course.
Disciples of Jesus should acknowledge all this and use Christian DVDs for their own learning and for teaching (discipling) others...
The term ‘Christian DVDs’ is such a lame term. Let me start by trying to define what I mean.
There are many different types of Christian DVDs available:
- Firstly, you get whole conferences or summits on DVD. Here I am thinking of Mosaic’s Ethos or Origins DVDs or the Rethink Conference DVDs. If you can’t go, at least you get to watch!
- There is a new trend of watching Christian short films. Obviously, the creators are obliging, and producing exceleent quality. Here the NOOMA DVDs or the Chazown DVDs are some of the first ones to come to mind.
- There are DVDs available in your local Christian bookstore that contain one good sermon on an important topic only. This is another example of Christian videos used by God, but they surely could add some more content.
- There are some DVDs aimed specifically at reaching those who don’t consider themselves disciples. What comes to mind here are the newly released Crave DVDs by Erwin McManus and The Case for Christ DVD by Lee Strobel. These would make excellent gifts to friends who are searching for meaning.
- Then, finally, you get some really helpful curricula (yes, I typed that - sorry!) or bible study courses on a specific topic. These DVDs are helpful if you need guidance or teaching in a certain part of your spiritual journey.
So, bottom line is that there are some excellent resources available to help you grow as a disciple.
I will from time to time post reviews of good Christian DVDs here. I hope and pray that they will affect your life as positively as they did mine. Let me know if there is anything that you would like to see reviewed.
