The Road to Emmaus

The Road to Emmaus is an inspired film from Ralph Mancuso which depicts the encounter between two disciples who were saddened and confused by Jesus' death on the cross and puzzled at reports of his resurrection and a stranger who joined them on their walk.  This stranger helps them understand the old testament prophesies of Isaiah 53, the prophesy of  Micah 5:2, the meaning of the passover lamb whose innocent blood protected the Hebrew people from the angel of death, the true meaning of Jesus' death and resurrection.  The film helps the viewer understand that Jesus death on the cross gives us atonement for our sin so we can become right with G-d.

The web site describes a unique offer to churches who want to use the video for evangelism. They are selling 100 copies for $1.50 per copy. The makers of the film are clearly not selling the DVDs for a profit.

Visit the web site and also watch, "Road to Emmaus, How one church used the video." The church members made a gift parcel containing the DVD and a loaf of bread which they gave away to shoppers at a grocery story. They included an invitation to a worship service.  It looked like a powerful evangelism tool to me, even if the shoppers never joined them at their church for worship.

The Gospel Of John

The story of Jesus' life as recounted by His disciple John, this three-hour epic feature film draws its audience into antiquity by way of meticulous recreation, including an original musical score complete with instrumental sounds of the time. This ambitious motion picture follows the Gospel precisely, neither adding to the story from other Gospels, nor omitting complex passages.

Narrated by renowned Canadian actor Christopher Plummer with a distinguished cast from Canada and the United Kingdom selected primarily from Canada's prestigious Stratford Festival and Soulpepper Theatre Company, as well as Britain's Royal Shakespeare Company and Royal National Theatre , it features British actor Henry Ian Cusick in the seminal role of Jesus Christ.

John is the best-loved but least understood of the gospels, presenting a uniquely human portrait of Jesus. Intimate and reflective, The Gospel Of John provides audiences with an unparalleled opportunity to understand the tumultuous period in history at the time of Jesus Christ.

The Gospel of Matthew

The Matthew video series broke new ground by offering the first-ever dramatic portrayal of events in the Bible, presented word for word from the best-selling New International Version® (NIV) translation. Now you can experience this thrilling epic in DVD format, which blends the superior digital surround sound of CDs with crisp, high-resolution digital images.
