Interesting DVD’s

No, I’m not about to suggest a movie that you might want to watch (though, in passing, we watched Alexander last night and I really wouldn’t reccomend that you waste your time on it – there are better ways of wasting two and a half hours). A couple of friends have recently produced Christian Training DVD’s that I’d like to highlight.

The first is Teaching the Bible In Challenging Times which David Couchman has put together. The blurb says”that this is; ” A new course to help and encourage people who want to teach the Bible in a way that’s relevant to today’s world and engaged with contemporary culture.” I’ve followed the production of this course over the last year or so and I’ve been involved in producing some of the materials on the associated website and I’m very impressed with the thorough job David has done. If you are involved in training people to teach the Scriptures, or if you are just interested in knowing more yourself, it would be well worth your while taking a look.

The other title is Christian Life & Global Mission which John Ayrton from Interserve has helped to put together. This is an excellent study guide for small groups who are interested in knowing more about what the Bible has to say about mission and how it relates to contemporary society. The DVD has study material for groups, reflections on the Bible and all sorts of interviews with big names. It’s well worth a look. You can see a trailer here.
