Great DVD Material

I piloted a course/small group and had about 15 people involved using the Deeper Connections Material. I was not sure about the back and forth aspect of going from the video to the study guide and back to the video... However, it turned out to be a terrific study. The individual lessons are deep and probing, and each segment takes one deeper into the Biblical story for a more three dimensional look at the Gospel Narrative. We only did 4 of the 6 lessons, and the small group was really disappointed that we didn't finish the last two. My only critique for the material is: 1. the camera angles were awkward. I have done a lot of camera work with some high end equipment and interview production, and I can say that the offset camera (catching the speaker at an angle) was very distracting. After previewing the material, I almost didn't use it because of this. 2. the middle eastern music in the opener is too authentic. It is almost a dissonant sound and my small group constantly joked about belly dancing :) 3. the scholars need to stop reading the tele-prompter. These people know this material better than anyone on earth, and they should be able to follow a few simple notes and speak in a less stilted way. There are times when they sounded as if they were reading off of cue cards and that was distracting at times. Otherwise, the material was outstanding, and the video production was very well done for the most part. I almost wish each video had the scholar speaking from the onsight/Israel location (but I get what they were trying to do... which was to bring that world into this one). We have several small groups that will be using the material this fall in our next Life Group Season.

A unique, in-depth study of the Miracles of Jesus!!!

The three-volume Deeper Connections series produced by Zondervan is unique. Unlike any other Bible study available, this visually stunning DVD series is taught and written by biblical experts - six professors with specialized areas of knowledge. The three volumes in this study series are : 1. The Parables of Jesus 2. The Prayers of Jesus 3. Miracles of Jesus The Teachers featured on the series are : Dr. Gary Burge, Wheaton College; Dr. David Garland, Truett Theological Seminary; Dr. Mark Strauss, Bethel Seminary; Dr. Michael Wilkins, Talbot School of Theology; Dr. Matt Williams, Biola University; Dr. Ben Witherington III, Asbury Theological Seminary. Hosted by Jarrett Stevens and filmed in locations as diverse as Gloucester harbor, the Holy Land, Boston's Old North Church, and Chicago's lakefront, each volume consists of six fascinating sessions. Each session is taught by a different instructor and consists of three components: 1. Historical and cultural background 2. An engaging, close look at the biblical text and its meaning 3. Accurate, encouraging, and challenging applications of the Bible's message to life today Each volume is accompanied by a Participant Guide which is available separately allowing participants to make deeper connections with a knowledge of historical background of the Bible, biblical text, and real life applications. 'Miracles of Jesus: Six In-depth Studies Connecting the Bible to Life' is one of the volumes of the Deeper Connections series focusing on miracles of Jesus. Jesus is known as Healer of diseases, Master of nature and Conqueror of demons & death. Jesus not only preached the kingdom of God in word, but he demonstrated it in power through his miraculous deeds. This unique, in-depth look at the miracles of Jesus will open your eyes to their impact on the lives he touched, what they reveal about God's heart, and their significance for us today. Six Sessions included on this DVD are: The Clean Daughter The Heartbeat of God Knowing the King A Faith-full Outsider Fruitless Lives Grateful Outcasts Highly recommended for all students of the bible!

Excellent Service

Received in condition as advertised or better. Received in a timely manner. Will order from again.

Great for group study use, or even personal or family use...

I like this DVD set...the teachers do a great job of really making the Bible come to life. There is a good balance between information, understanding, and application. The study booklets are really helpful, too. I plan to use this with my jr. high students.
