The 10 Commandments For Teens
6 and up
42 Minutes
To most teenagers the Ten Commandments appear to be a list of “DO NOTS” that
were written by people in antiquity and have no real meaning in the world we live in
today, but is this really the case? The Ten Commandments are very much alive in
the church today and translated very well into our era. Especially today, the
commandments have something to say to teenagers, who are faced with pressures
and burdens that can seem so overwhelming at times. These commandments are
not a list of limitations on fun. They are guidelines that, if adhered to, will help
young adults better cope with such problems as self-esteem, alcohol and drugs,
human sexuality, and relationships with their parents, their peers, and God. The
Ten Commandments are not just suggestions on how to live a better life, they are
what God expects of us. This video takes each commandment and discusses it in
today’s terms so teenagers can understand how these “age-old rules” are important
in their lives.

a moment of personal conversion.
The witness segment features a T.V. – news-style report of the “Way of the cross,
Way of Justice,” held on Good Friday in a metropolitan setting. Christians carry a
large wooden cross and witness to issues of poverty and injustice, seeking to
respond as Jesus did in giving his life in love.
In the teaching segment notes spiritual writer and teacher Gloria Hutchinson traces
the history of the Way of the Cross and explains – step-by-step – how to pray the
stations.
The music video reflection is a 16 minute “video Way of the Cross,” narrated by a
diverse group of voices and accompanied by music and artistic representations of

teenage relationships. Dating can be exciting and scary at the same time. It’s
worse than an emotional roller coaster ride. Teenagers can feel wanted and loved
one moment… and then feel rejected or used the next. While this series cannot
promise a smooth trip on the roller coaster ride of dating, it can give young people
a :handle to hold onto” around those hairpin curves and down those steep inclines
of dating. During this program, young people share their fears of dating. They
discuss humorous thoughts on the perfect date. And then teenagers take you on
their painful journeys of going “too far” on a date.

Relationships with Self
Teen Crisis Series
How’s this for a scary thought: For the rest of your life, you will spend more time
with yourself than anyone else on earth! For that reason alone, every teenager
must answer this question. How do you feel about yourself? In other words, do you
like yourself just the way you are? The majority of young people will answer that
question with a loud “NO”. Many teenagers feel inferior, embarrassed and even
worthless. Overcoming those negative feelings isn’t easy. Every year, young
people hear 5000 negative messages from their parents, teachers, and friends.
This program gives young people valuable information on how to feel good about
themselves even though they are not perfect.

Relationships with the World
Teen Crisis Series
Grades
Length
The problems of the world appear very remote to most teenagers. Young people
study the world only in terms of geography, economic statistics, or political
structure. But the world is made up of people! By traveling to Haiti, Kenya, El
Salvador, India, and Zaire, this program takes a compassionate look at the impact
that war, starvation, and religious superstition have had around the world. It’s not
enough for Christian young people to relate only to the people in their
neighborhood. They must look beyond the shores of America… they must seize the
opportunities of your day and make a difference in the world for both now and
eternity.

The pagan king Belshazzar has made the splendid empire of Babylon a playground
for fools. The arrogant ruler goes so far as to make drunken toasts using sacred
vessels seized from his Hebrew captives. This blasphemy causes God to send
Belshazzar a mysterious message, written in fire on the palace walls. Unable to
interpret the writing on the wall, the king calls on the Hebrew prophet, Daniel for
translation. Daniel tells Belshazzar that he and his kingdom are doomed, a
prophecy that is soon made true by the Persian army. Daniel’s wisdom and moral
strength earn the admiration of Darius, the new ruler of Babylon, but also excites
jealousy among lesser men. They trick Darius into having Daniel arrested and

Symbols and signs are essential to the Roman Catholic Liturgy and Ritual.
Candles; what do they represent? How and when are they used and how do they
affect us? Water; it can be a symbol of death as well as life and it is used in some
of the Church’s most important rituals. Gestures; how standing, kneeling, hand
gestures, and even sitting down have specific purposes in the Mass. Crosses; in
addition to the symbol of Christianity which hangs in every church, we cross
ourselves and make “the sign of the cross: at important moments in our rituals. In
four, five to seven minute segments Candles, Water, Gestures, and Crosses are
covered in a way that will help young people, catechumens and even life-long
Catholics better understand the important reasons for these traditions and how they
help us grow in faith. For maximum flexibility, the segments work as stand-along
presentations or the entire video may be shown in one sitting. Study guide included.

December 8, 2004 is the 150th Anniversary of the Papal Bull, Ineffabilis Deus. This
teaching raised the belief in the Immaculate Conception to the status of a formal

Virgin Birth, the Immaculate Conception is not about Jesus, but about Mary being
conceived in the womb of her mother, St. Anne. The dogma of the Immaculate
Conception explains how Mary, born of human parents like us, did not inherit
Original Sin. Good information on Mary but has portraits of frontal male nudity.

Belief in the supernatural has never been stronger as many seek alternative ways
to discover spirtual reality. The recent revival in angelic experiences has brought
with it a renewed sense that God is at work and that His angels are among us. They
have a long and respected history in the Judea-Christian Tratdition. Angels are
mentioned over 300 times in the Bible. But are angels still credible in a scientific
age? An increasing number of people say yes and claim to have had a firsthand
experience with angels. Without sensationalism or any particular denominational
agenda, this program presents eye-witness preorts of many such people. Here are
their experiences in their own words. The new Testament book of hebrews exhorts
to "entertain strangers for many have thereby enterained angels without knowing it."
the reports in this program provide much material for reflections as to whether
angels indeed come in human form to heal and save lives vefore suddenly
disappearing.

Patrick
53 Minutes
This docudrama, presented by Faith & Values Media, takes a new look at one of the
best-loved and least-understood icons of world religion. The story of the real St.
Patrick is part adventure tale and part spiritual awakening, with the future saint
rising from slave to liberator; learning to forgive and ultimately love his enemies;
taking up a cause no one believed in; and finally lighting a fire that kept western
civilization alive. His legacy has had an impact not only on Ireland, where he was
able to forge a ground-breaking synthesis of Christian faith and Celtic traditions, but
also on all of civilization.
This portrayal of the life of Patrick, who lived in the fifth century, was shot on
location in Ireland, using actors in period dress to recreate scenes from Patrick’s
life. It features the voices of two of Ireland’s top actors, with narration by Liam
Neeson, and Gabriel Byrne as the voice of Patrick. On-camera commentary is
provided by Frank McCourt, renowned Irish-American author of Angela’s Ashes,
who offers keen insight into how a foreign evangelical would have interacted with
the Irish. Additional commentary is provided by noted scholars and authors.
People of all faiths will find this an enthralling and challenging story.

Eucharist
9 Minutes
"Let us celebrate the mystery of faith." this film is a beautiful experience which
brings all the life-giving elements of our daily lives into the celebration of the
Eucharist liturgy. It illustrates that faith is not only a belief in the presence of Christ
in the sympbols of the liturgy, but also and inner realization of Christ's incarnational
and redemptive presence in every aspect of human life. The film uses many
images- clouds, rain, a flower breaking through the earth , a wounded soldier
eventually rescued, a boy finally accepted into a game, a child bringing laughter and
flowers into the lonely lives of the aged- all bound together with the Eucharistic
liturgy. Compact, well -edited, a powerful film that helps Christians experience the

There are hundreds of stories about the amazing things that occurred when Father
Solanus prayed or bestowed his blessing. He seemed to have a sixth sense, an
ability to sense the future, but more accurately, and open channel to God. The story
of Solanus is not so much of the heavenly favors granted through his intercession,
but an example of how life's experiences shape our destiny and impact those
around us. His friendship with God and neighbor made him one of those unique
individuals who down through history are often singled out by the Catholic Church to
be canonized. Father Solanus' cause for canonization has already been welldocumented and presnted to the Vatican's Congregation for the Causes of Saints
for their consideration.

What Every Catholic Should Know About Hell
Grades
Length
60 Minutes
Has Hell gone out of fashion? Is it really the fiery fate of unrepentant sinners, or has
this once-daunting doctrine become an embarrassment to Christians in the modern
world? Many of today's religious leaders seem unwilling or unable to conceive of a
loving and merciful God visiting anyone with perpetual punishment. But the question
remains, "What must Catholics believe about hell?" Is it a physical place or merely a
"state of being?" How does the Church reconcile eternity in flames with an allmerciful God? And, if there really is a Hell, who goes there and why? Separate Fact
from Fiction In the fascinating new full-length video, What Every Catholic Needs to
Know about Hell, St. Joseph Communications consults Scripture, Tradition and
some of the most influential voices in Catholic apologetics today, in order to
discover the truth about authentic Church teaching on this absolutely essential, but
often misunderstood, doctrine. Separating fact from fiction, this broadcast-quality
presentation answers your most crucial questions regarding the existence and
meaning of Hell, empowering you to come to grips with the reality of death and the
impenetrable mystery of what lies beyond. Dark Side of Eternity Inspiring and
informative, What Every Catholic Needs to Know about Hell features exclusive
interviews with prominent Catholic clergy, apologists, theologians, and best-selling
authors including Dr. Scott Hahn, Fr. William Casey, Steve Ray, Kimberly Hahn, Fr.
Shannon Collins, Tim Staples and more. As these respected experts reveal crucial
insights into this important topic, you'll discover the abundant biblical evidence,
historical perspective and theological principles that are fundamental to a truly
Catholic understanding of Christ's teaching on the dark side of eternity. Deep
Mystery of Faith Throughout this thought-provoking presentation, Hell emerges as a
deep mystery of faith, a dreadful but exquisite testimony to the Justice and Mercy of
Almighty God. You'll uncover how this place of eternal punishment is necessary to
God's plan of salvation, how eternal life is won or lost here on earth, how God takes
free will so seriously that He does not compel anyone to be saved, and how we can
be confident that those who call upon God's mercy while yet there is still time will
obtain the grace that saves them from eternal punishment. Order today and
discover, What Every Catholic Needs to Know About Hell. LEARN: What Jesus
taught about Hell Why Hell is necessary to God's plan of salvation What caused the
fall of the Angels Why God takes free will so seriously that He does not compel
anyone to be saved How the doctrine of Hell can be found throughout Sacred
Scripture Why Catholics pray for the dead How God doesn't really damn anyone to
Hell- sinners damn themselves Why the existence of Hell rules out the notion of
"Reincarnation" How Hell is really the continuation of mortal sin in eternity

Being against abortion in the abstract is not enough. People must be so horrified by
abortion that they will be willing to endure the hardships of crisis pregnancy, rather
than to seek the easy way out. Words alone seldom horrify at that level. Neither can
mere words communicate the sense of outrage necessary to overcome the apathy
and inertia which impede people's willingness to undertake serious activism. The
video Hard Truth has the power to inspire such horror and outrage. NOT SUITABLE
