Road to Emmaus — ?It is a story that's captivated the imagination of many generations. Mourning the death of Jesus, two first-century travelers were joined by a mysterious stranger. Over the next few hours, the stranger revealed many mysteries that lay hidden in the ancient Scriptures. Soon, the purpose of Jesus’ life became clear...and the travelers’ sadness turned to great joy. Now you can learn what they learned. Discover the key to life...on the Road to Emmaus. Starring Bruce Marchiano of The Visual Bible: Matthew and Acts. DVD Features: Languages: English and Spanish tracks.

Resurrection — "To find the truth a man must sacrifice one thing...his life." Resurrection is the film based on a short story by renowned author Max Lucado. The setting is Jerusalem at the time of Christ. Claudius, a Roman guard, finds himself in the midst of a cover up regarding the tumultuous events after Christ's execution. As his inquiries progress, he discovers that the religious leaders, Roman government and his closest allies are collectively attempting to hide something, perhaps the truth. Dove approved for ages 12 and up. Approx. 50 minutes. Closed-captioned.

Come Follow Me — ?Come Follow Me dramatizes the experience of the Apostle Peter—his misunderstanding, doubts, denial and finally his commitment to follow his Master no matter where that path would take him. Peter’s journey with Jesus unfolds from their first meeting to the post resurrection appearance in which Jesus charges Peter to “feed my sheep.” Come Follow Me depicts what it means to be a disciple. The way for Peter and the way for us is found in the power and promises of Jesus’ word. Starring Bruce Marchiano (The Visual Bible, The Encounter) as Jesus and Emilio Doorgasingh (Apostle Peter and the Last Supper, Kingdom of Heaven, Red II) as Peter.

A.D. — Picking up where the events of the acclaimed Passion of the Christ left off, A.D. vividly recreates the turbulent years following the death of Christ. The earliest experiences of the Christian church after Jesus' ascension are powerfully dramatized in this remarkably authentic TV miniseries epic covering the years A.D. 30-69. The perfect resource for any church or home study group wishing to explore the New Testament period, the Early Church, or the Book of Acts. This Biblically and historically accurate drama comes complete with a 56-page Study Guide in PDF, providing a 12-week course. Performances from an all-star cast, together with the scope of the project, also make this great Bible-based family entertainment.

Peter and Paul — Anthony Hopkins stars in this epic network television mini-series that brings to life the precarious existence of early Christianity. The new movement is beset by violent opposition from without and constant turmoil from within. Two key leaders emerge -- Peter and Paul -- who struggle to keep the faith alive. This dramatic presentation follows the pair, together and separately, through three epochal decades. Included are the stoning of Stephen, the road to Damascus, their encounter in Jerusalem, their conflicts over how the word of Christ should be spread. Paul’s travels to Asia Minor and Greece, Peter and Paul’s clashes over Jewish law, and Peter’s decision to follow in Paul’s courageous footsteps. The drama concludes in Rome in approximately A.D. 64 with the beheading of Paul and the crucifixion of Peter under Emperor Nero.

Paul the Apostle — From the Emmy award-winning director Roger Young (Joseph and Jesus) comes the spectacular story of Paul the Apostle. This augmented adaptation, largely based on the biblical account, profiles Christ's most prolific messenger. Paul, originally known as Saul of Tarsus, was at the forefront of efforts to stamp out the early church until Jesus stopped him on the road to Damascus, forever changing his life and mission.

Beautifully shot in the Moroccan desert, Paul the Apostle is a sweeping saga of the man who brought the Gospel to the Western world.
