GREATEST HEROES OF THE BIBLE GIFT SET (DVD) (ALL ON 1DISC) DVD

Greatest Heroes of the Bible: Abraham's Sacrifice
This video is part of a series on some of the most remarkable figures in the stories of the Bible. This episode tells the Old Testament story of Abraham. Abraham was a faithful servant of God. He was blessed late in life with a son, Isaac. God decided to test Abraham's faith by directing the man to offer his beloved son as a sacrifice. Just before the father brought down the blade on his son, an angel of God intervened: Abraham had passed the test of faith. The video presents the story through a re-enactment set in the Holy Land. ~ Rose of Sharon Winter, All Movie Guide

Greatest Heroes of the Bible: David and Goliath
This program is part of a series that chronicles the stories of some of the great heroes of the Old Testament of the Bible. The colorful stories have made an indelible mark on Western consciousness, as they illustrate great spiritual truths in the plain narratives about ordinary people. This episode recounts the story of how the young David rid the land of a terrible giant named Goliath. David's only weapons were his slingshot and an unwavering faith in God. Goliath did not stand a chance against such odds. ~ Rose of Sharon Winter, All Movie Guide

Greatest Heroes of the Bible: Joseph in Egypt
The Old Testament comes alive in this dramatic retelling of Biblical history. The story of Joseph begins with the young man being sold into slavery by his jealous brothers. But Joseph's wisdom soon wins him a place of honor within the Pharaoh's palace. When he meets his family again, Joseph must practice what he preaches. Sam Bottoms plays the Egyptian hero. Joseph joins an impressive lineup of Biblical superstars for this television special, among them David, Samson, and Noah. ~ Sarah Ing, All Movie Guide

Greatest Heroes of the Bible: The Story of Moses
One of many entries in the animated series narrated by Charlton Heston, Greatest Heroes of the Bible: The Story of Moses is a rendering of the classic tale of Moses, who defied the Pharaoh and miracuously parted the Red Sea to lead the children of Israel out of slavery in Egypt. ~ Alice Duncan, All Movie Guide

Greatest Heroes of the Bible: The Story of Noah
According to the Bible, Noah was the only man of his generation who still worshipped God. This video recalls the key events in Noah's life. Noah was directed by God to build an ark that would keep him and his family safe from an upcoming flood. The Bible says that Noah and his family were being saved by God from a world that was all but buried in sin. After the flood, God made a special covenant with Noah. Most children remember this story because of the many creatures who traveled in Noah's ark in twos. This story about Noah is supposed to remind the viewer that God is faithful to those who are obedient to him, even though he may allow them to encounter many heartaches and troubles in their lives. ~ Elizabeth Smith, All Movie Guide

Greatest Heroes of the Bible: Samson and Delilah
This video provides an excellent lesson about who can be trusted in life and which human values are the most important ones. In this Biblical story, Delilah's greed causes her to repeatedly betray Samson as she seeks to tell his enemies how his great strength can be taken away from him. At first, Samson is clever and deceives Delilah. Eventually, he trusts her, only to have her accept money in exchange for his secret. Men arrive to subdue Samson, once Delilah tells them the best way to take away his mighty strength. This video can generate reflection on the most important traits that adults should try to nurture within themselves. ~ Elizabeth Smith, All Movie Guide

Greatest Heroes of the Bible: Sodom and Gomorrah
Part of the Greatest Heroes of the Bible collection, Sodom and Gomorrah is the reenactment of the Biblical epic of Lot, nephew of Abraham, leading the Hebrews to the Valley of the Jordan. Despite God's command to stay away from the sin, sex, and scandal of the wicked cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, Lot and his followers left their farms for the pagan allurements. You'll witness the drama as Lot and his family flee Sodom, just as God prepares to destroy the entire city. An engaging account of temptation and wrath, the 50-minute film is rated for youths. ~ Kathleen Wildasin, All Movie Guide

Greatest Heroes of the Bible: The Ten Commandments
Greatest Heroes of the Bible: The Ten Commandments tells the dramatic story of Israel's journey from Egypt and Moses' reception of the gift of God's law. Chosen by God to lead his people out of slavery, Moses shepherds the Israelites along their rocky road to freedom. But the journey is full of hardship. When the people lose faith, they fall prey to lust and greed and begin to worship a golden idol. Moses waits on Mount Sinai for God's message and a fateful encounter that will change the lives of the Israelites and the future of mankind. The video runs 50 minutes. ~ Betsy Boyd, All Movie Guide
