The Living Bible Collection - The Greatest Stories Ever Told (1958) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This series, while possibly seeming a little dated as far as films go, is simply fantastic!
This is a 5 DVD set with hours and hours of 15 minute(+/-) Biblically accurate segments following the course of the Bible. I would suggest this set to anyone wishing to learn more about the Bible, and the King and creator of the Universe Jesus Christ.
All praise be to Him!!!

The Law of Attraction In Action Episode I (2006) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This 3 DVD set is a wonderful expression of the love and wisdom that Abraham shares through Esther Hicks. The love, kindness, patience, humor and the beauty of their non-judgment is apparent in every question answered. The unwavering gentleness that accompanies every answer soothes the nervous and breathes life into the answers we already knew at our core. If you've read the books, listened to the tapes or attended a workshop, the answers sound familiar and ring true as you vibrate in harmony with the message. You can literally SEE the relief on the faces of the people. SEE the joy, the recognition, the remembering if you will and it is truly a beautiful shared experience. If you have attended workshops before, you will have this treasure to enjoy over and over again. If you have not yet had the chance, rest assured that absolutely NOTHING is lost in the translation. A very worth while purchase. Thank you Esther, Jerry and Abraham.

Topics addressed by Abraham during this workshop include: Can an actor delve into all the angry, dark emotions without attracting unwanted things into his real life?How do you stop attracting all that old father and son emotional baggage? What do you do when you have attracted your passion at work but you have been stopped cold and it is making you sick?How can you move through anger into joy if you feel more comfortable back in the feeling of depression? Are mantras just meaningless words? What about words used in prayer? How do the specific words we use affect what we attract?Drinking, drugs, and broken curfews. . . a few pointers from Infinite Intelligence about dealing with a difficult teenager. Abraham helps us get a handle on the nature of time, aging, and the universe expanding.A more detailed analysis of the Law of Attraction, and a discussion on how emotion and matter interact to attract. How do the teachings of Abraham line up with traditional Christianity. . . or with any religion, for that matter?And much, much more. Answers and inspiration from the Non-Physical entity Abraham whom Esther calls infinite intelligence and Jerry refers to as the purest form of love he has ever encountered.

The Bible Collection (1996) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought all of these 6 DVDs separately because I did not know that they came as a set, at a better price! I paid about $15 each, about $90 total, and I do not regret owning them all, but I would have jumped on this set if I had known about it!
Most of these DVDs are very interesting and faithful to Scripture. SAMSON & DELILAH is the weakest of these 6 DVDs, as it spends too much time on non-scriptural characters. ABRAHAM covers many scenes of the 40 year wandering rarely seen on DVD. JACOB is pretty close to Scripture. JOSEPH is great, but it spends a bit too much time rewriting the narration to allow for Ben Kingsley's Potiphar role to expand. I have not yet watched DAVID, but I look forward to Leonard Nimoy's appearance in the film.
Most of these films are 3 hours long, presumably they were mostly all short mini-series when they originally ran on TV. I think only JACOB is about 90 minutes, of the 6 DVDs in this set. You can read about each DVD as they are all sold separately on amazon.com.
All of these 6 DVDs have major TV network, made-for-TV quality, and I am quite surprised and pleased that these movies are so good. I do not know of any better series of Bible stories on DVD.
There is another Box Set available, THE BIBLE SERIES BOX SET, which has 3 other DVDs of this series of movies. JEREMIAH is my favorite of all 9 movies. ESTHER is great, and perhaps the most faithful to Scriptural accuracy and chronology of all 9 movies. SOLOMON is the only 3 hour DVD in this smaller Box Set. There is a GENESIS in this Box Set, but it is not a dramatized movie, just a narration of the book of Genesis, while modern day nomads are shown going about their daily routine. GENESIS is a disappointment and very UNLIKE the other 9 movies, so much so that it doesn't even seem to be part of the same production series.
Bottom Line: I highly recommend that anybody buy both of these box sets, and they will save about 50% over buying each DVD separately! Praise the LORD!

Abraham (The Bible Collection) (1994) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)As previously mentioned in reviews of other films of this genre, I teach ancient civilizations to middle schoolers. For this reason, I am always looking for good films of the Biblical era, and this is certainly one of the best!
Richard Harris portrays old Abraham as the fallible human being that he surely was. Barbara Hershey (Sarah) is equal to the challenge of becoming a woman who, even in her advanced years, maintains a beauty which can entice a Pharaoh of Egypt.
The research production crew of Abraham certainly did their homework. As an ancient Sumerian, Abraham was part of a thriving and wealthy culture, which invented everything from schools, to surgery, to a codified law system. They were even the formulators of astrology, which the film skillfully sites as Abraham draws the signs of the zodiac in the sand for Isaac to learn. Probably an offensive moment to Biblical purists, but nevertheless--realistic and accurate.
The Mesopotamian custom of producing a son through the wife's handmaid is handled with accuracy and tact. Relevant in light of today's Arab/Israeli conflict is the fact that this custom produced the Arab race extant today, while the children of Sarah's son Isaac became the Hebrews.
Another piece of excellent background the film delivers, is the covenant-making ceremony in the presence of the king's 'Divine Right' to rule. The scene in Haran is exceptionally well done--right down to the Sumerian's penchant for bargaining.
The animal sacrifice is handled with welcome reserve. So too, is the custom of midwifery, and how grief-stricken Sarah must've felt if she-childless, indeed did deliver so many children.
If there is any complaint with the film, one might be the portrayal of Isaac as a young teen when he was being prepared as a sacrifice by his father. Isaac was no doubt somewhat older than this according to Biblical chronology.
I shall long remember the reaction of my students to this impending sacrifice--especially from those who did not know how the story would end!
Another complaint might be the Pharaoh showing Sarah a pyramid, as if this was a new thing in Egypt. In reality, by Abraham's time, the main pyramids were several hundred years old.
In summary, this version of the Abraham is right up there with the best of the films in this genre (see my other reviews). I feel only the Joseph story is better.
