Strobel, the former legal editor of the Chicago Tribune, draws upon his investigative skills to examine the historical accuracy of the Gospels, the personal claims of Jesus and His resurrection from the dead. Is there evidence to confirm that Jesus of Nazareth was, indeed, the son of God and the savior of the world? This remarkable film features interviews with 10 leading Biblical scholars from North America and England, cutting-edge apologetics, and a compelling original music score. </div><div class="flexinode-textfield-89"><label>Length:</label> 71 minutes</div><div class="flexinode-textfield-90"><label>Publisher:</label> Lionsgate</div><div class="flexinode-textfield-91"><label>Published Year:</label> 2007</div><div class="flexinode-select-64"><label>Viewing Rights:</label> Church Use Permitted</div></div> Atheism Christian Living/ Spiritual Growth English Faith Story/ Testimony Featured Resource Senior High College Adult Thu, 02 Oct 2008 11:39:32 -0700 http://marc-web.org/node/10328 <div class="flexinode-body flexinode-7"><div class="flexinode-textarea-23">Tony Campolo and Shane Claiborne have created an intensely personal dialogue about the foundations of the Christian life and voluntary simplicity. Relevant to Christians today, this pointed-yet-hopeful DVD focuses on lifestyle, food, celebrations, stuff, money and justice. Includes leader’s guide and bonus footage. Author and theologian Justo L. Gonzalez says, “Simply Enough is unique in its kind. Repeatedly, one finds in it challenging and refreshing new insights into old biblical texts. It calls us to responsible action and poses some very radical challenges, but it does this in a way that is loving and hopeful, while also offering concrete examples of such responsible action. I find it theologically sound, intellectually enlightening and morally engaging.” Alternatives for Simple Living. </div><div class="flexinode-textfield-89"><label>Length:</label> 1 hour, 11 minutes</div><div class="flexinode-textfield-90"><label>Publisher:</label> Alternatives for Simple Living</div><div class="flexinode-textfield-91"><label>Published Year:</label> 2007</div><div class="flexinode-select-64"><label>Viewing Rights:</label> Church Use Permitted</div></div> English Featured Resource Senior High Simple Living/ Over-Consumption/ Recycle Social/ Ethical Issues Thankfulness/ Contentment College Adult Tue, 30 Sep 2008 13:41:43 -0700 http://marc-web.org/node/10327 <div class="flexinode-body flexinode-7"><div class="flexinode-textarea-23">This is a video taped during Closing Worship on Sunday, 6/8, at the 40th West Michigan Annual Conference held June 5-8, 2008, at Calvin College.
