Fabulous Families From God’s Animal Kingdom Did you know God gave free sunglasses to meerkats? Discover how God created a variety of animal families to help their babies survive. Friends and Heroes Collection- DVD’s Doing Our Part It’s Purim time and while Macky, Sollie and the kids act out the story of Esther’s bravery, Diana shows her own bravery, as she tries to lead destitute refugees through the dangerous streets of Alexandria. When Diana is captured, she tells her Roman guard the story of the selfless generosity of Joseph of Cyprus and finds that the guard is sympathetic to the Friends of Jesus. He releases her, but still she can’t shake off Brutacus who with his troop insists on following her home through the streets, as the refugees try to thread their way to safety. Between them, Diana and Sollie use their wits to avert disaster and get the soldiers out of the way so the refugees can safely join in the Purim celebrations. Long Journey In the bustling marketplace of Alexandria we meet Samuel and Macky. Soon they encounter two young refugee girls who have stowed away aboard a ship from Galilee and are being pursued by Roman soldiers. Macky and his family risk their safety and defy the Romans by taking the sisters into their home. Samuel tells the story of Daniel in the Lions’ Den to encourage the family not to be afraid - and Macky learns that violence is not the answer. DVD When the girls are captured, Macky reminds everyone how Jesus demonstrated his power with a Miraculous Catch of Fish before calling his followers to leave everything and follow him. This motivates Samuel to help Macky spring a daring raid on the prison to free the girls. Exodus As Macky’s family and guests celebrate Passover, Portia brings her Roman tutor, Lydia, with her to dinner. Leah recognizes Lydia from the sweatshop incident. As the family recount the stories of the Burning Bush and the Exodus, Leah sits in silent fear of Lydia. Lydia is anxious that the Governor will find out about the illegal sweatshop from Leah and Portia, so she gets Tobias to intimidate Samuel and the whole family. A tense but comic cat-and-mouse game ensues as Tobias searches for Leah, but fails to find her and then tries to double-cross Samuel. Portia takes a big risk and warns Samuel of this trickery. Tobias leaves frustrated, once again. Nevertheless Samuel decides there have been too many close calls and to emphasise his belief that it is time to leave Alexandria, he tells the story of the Last Supper Jesus shared with his friends. Horseplay Out on Macky’s horse without permission, Leah easily outrides a spoilt Roman boy, Caius, who challenges her to a horse race so he can salvage his damaged pride. Rebecca is furious with her little sister, but Macky tells her the famous story of Joseph and his Brothers and she sees that forgiveness between brothers, or sisters, is more important than chastising Leah for her disobedience. When Leah goes to meet Caius and face his wager, Rebecca plans to help her and stop the Roman boy and his flunkies from cheating to win. Meanwhile Portia has been pulling strings amongst her fellow Roman aristocrats to help Leah from the opposite side. Between them they outwit Caius and Brutacus, but Leah had been hoping to get the wealthy Roman lad to pay his dues after beating him in the race. Rebecca tells Leah the story of Simon Magus, who foolishly thought money would make him all-powerful, and little Leah finally understands her big sister’s message. No Way Out Macky and his family have left Alexandria and have sought safety amongst some desert ruins. Macky argues with his father that they have run away from their responsibilities and Samuel tells him the story of Jonah and the Sailors, showing that it is never really possible to leave behind responsibilities. Searching for Samuel back at the shop, a vengeful Tobias arrests their neighbour Nathan and Sollie brings this news to the family in the desert. Returning to the city, Samuel and Macky meet a thief, their old adversary Caleb. When Caleb recounts the story of the Prodigal Son, they know he is no longer a thief and enlist his help to free Nathan from prison. But to their horror, they realise Tobias had been using Nathan as bait to capture Samuel… Friends in All Places - Randy Fishell A week of prayers series for kids.

Could sinister spirits be lurking behind the best-selling books? Hour of the Witch: Harry Potter, Wicca Witchcraft, and the Bible by veteran author and media personality Steve Wohlberg scrutinizes these popular tales from a spiritual perspective. By thoroughly examining the first five volumes in the series, noting other books on the subject (both for and against), as well as holding them up to the test of the scriptures, Hour of the Witch demonstrates to Christian parents how an overwhelming fascination with the “fictional” Potter is leading to a huge increase in the real-life practice of Wicca Witchcraft (one of America’s fastest growing religions, as reported by National Public Radio). “We have a strong desire to reach and educate as many people as possible with the message of The Hour of the Witch”, said Destiny Image Director of Marketing Don Nori.

The Safe Side ~ Internet Safety DVD ~ Kid safety is an important, yet often difficult topic of discussion between parents and children. The Safe Side’s “Safe Side Super-Chick” is a decidedly zany host who successfully combines slapstick humor with serious, practical safety tips for kids. “Safe Side Super-Chick” breaks the population down into three quickly discernable categories: “Safe Side Adults” that kids know well and can always trust to keep them safe, “Don’t Knows” like the mail carrier or the lady at the park and “Sorta Knows” like a coach or a schoolmate’s parent. As “Safe Side Super-Chick” interacts with “Don’t Knows” and “Sorta Knows”, she offers seven specific safety tips to keep kids safe and, with the help of real kids, details simple, concrete actions and phrases that empower kids in a variety of potentially dangerous situations.

Four video set which includes: Video 1: The Founding of a Faith Video 2: Church and Empire Video 3: The Glory of Byzantium Video 4: The Faith Conquers Reformation Overview Video 1: It is often assumed the Reformation began in 1517 with Luther’s 55 theses. Actually, reform had been brewing long before. These first three programs look at two key reformers before Luther (Wycliffe and Hus) and at Luther himself. Video 2: There was not one reformation, but several. In addition to Luther in Germany, other centers in Europe underwent major changes in life and religion. These three programs look at the Swiss Reformation with Zwingli and Calvin, the Anabaptists or Radicals and William Tyndale and the English Reformation. From Christ to Constantine These six programs show what the early church was like, how it spread, and the persecution it endured. Video 1 Program 1: What do we know about Christ? What happened to his twelve apostles – that most unlikely group to whom he entrusted his message about the Kingdom of God? Program 2: A word for all peoples. An impossible task! Yet they blanketed the whole Roman Empire. How did these early believers get their message to the world when they were an illegal faith? Program 3: The Roman Empire had room for all kinds of religions, yet Christianity just didn’t fit. Many changes were leveled against the believers – some outrageously false, and others true. Many of the charges will surprise you. Video 2 Program 4: The mightiest empire in history unleashed repeated waves of persecution against the early believers. Two of these persecutions were empire-wide. Why was the unarmed church such a threat to Rome? Program 5: Heroic figures emerged who would pay any price rather than deny their faith. Their effect on the young church was far-reaching. This program looks in particular at the martyrdoms of Polycarp and Perpetua. Program 6: When the Emperor Constantine came to the throne, the church was granted legal standing – and they were also given favor and preference. Was this a blessing or a bane? Also, a summary of why the early church succeeded. Indestructible Book, The Volume 1: The story of the indestructible book begins with the Ten commandments, God’s first communication to man. Bible historian Ken Connolly describes that fist awesome encounter and the later dedicated efforts of the scribes as they meticulously copy Old Testament passages. Volume 2: As the Renaissance blossoms, Christianity faces a period of great trial and sacrifice. The Bible is harshly suppressed by the English Court. Owning a Bible in English, or even quoting Scripture in English, means death for countless men and women of God. 43 Religious Liberties Stewardship Faith and Finance (2009) – CD & Workbook & Guidebook Relationships: Financial Rescue - DVD NEW!

Girls Gone Wise in a World Gone Wild Girls’ Night Out Party Kits (2007) Do you like to have parties but don’t have time Inundated by popular culture, many women have lost their bearings and no longer trust the internal compass that intuitively affirms those things that are good, true, and noble, about womanhood. And as Jesus’ favourite and most powerful teaching tactic was the parable, it is appropriate that Mary Kassian walk the reader through the compelling tale of the wild versus wise women found in Proverbs 7. By using 21 points of contrast, the reader will be able to discern the difference between wild and wise, and then evaluate her own direction: is she living as a wise, biblically savvy woman? Or has she bought into the one our culture holds as ideal: the wild woman? Girls Gone Wise in a World Gone Wild will captivate, convict, and challenge women to become 47 to plan them?
