About the DVD:
What's your mission?
God gave the assignment to His people thousands of years ago: to bring "lost sheep" back into the love and safety of His kingdom. He said to become a "Kingdom of Priests," and put God on display to show the world what He is like. It's still our task today. In this thirteenth volume of the That the World May Know ® film series, you'll glimpse the urgency and rewards of welcoming the strangers and prodigals the Lord longs to embrace. Discover the mission that can give your life - and the lives of those around you - greater meaning than you ever imagined.
Join renowned teacher and historian Ray Vander Laan as he guides you through the lands of the Bible. In each lesson, Vander Laan illuminates the historical, geographical, and cultural context of the sacred Scriptures. Filmed on location in the Middle East and elsewhere, the That the World May Know ® film series will transform your understanding of God and challenge you to be a true follower of Jesus.

My review:
This was a fascinating and informative DVD and discovery guide. I've seen many others in this series and I was excited to find out there was a new one. Learning about the cultural, spiritual and historical background was incredibly interesting and shed new light on stories I've heard all of my life. I took away a lot of new insight into these familiar stories. The DVD sessions were about a half hour long each and the book really went more in depth using the DVD as a launching pad. For each of the five sessions there was some background to the story, opening thoughts, a think about it section, guided notes to take as you watch the DVD, some discussion questions that point you back to the Bible for passages to read, a closing and verse to memorize. Then another section is for personal study with questions and deeper reflections for five more days. This brought in other Bible stories that pertained to the topic. There's fascinating background, maps, photos and explanation in sidebars. The topic is such an important one and really made me think about my role in reflecting who God is to His lost children and what more I can do to bring them back to Him. I highly recommend this set!
