BROKEN TO PEACE

DVD0733
BROKEN TO PEACE
Bad things happen to good people.
Good parents have children who become addicted to drugs. Reliable breadwinners lose their jobs. Innocent children have parents who hurt them. Healthy folks get sick. Accidents happen. And yes, even Christians take anti-depressants.
Many of us live our problems in silence, but Broken to Peace features interviews with men and women who are living their lives-and faith-out loud. Using their pain to educate, inspire and help others, the straight-from-the-heart Christians featured in this compelling video series tell real life stories about the troubles that brought them to their knees-breast cancer, job loss, addiction, loss of a child, clinical depression and physical abuse. With God as their support, they were able to rise again, one step at a time, and continue their walk towards spiritual healing and human wholeness.

Resource includes:

- Six video discussion starters
- Downloadable Leader Guide for facilitating group study
- Promotional resources for your Bible study or small group campaign

THE POWER OF A WHISPER

DVD0719
THE POWER OF A WHISPER
"Without a hint of exaggeration," says Bill Hybels, "the ability to discern divine direction has saved me from a life of sure boredom and self-destruction. God's well-timed words have redirected my path, rescued me from temptation and re-energized me during some of my deepest moments of despair."

In The Power of a Whisper, vision is cast for what life can look like when God's followers choose to hear from heaven as they navigate life on earth. Whispers that arbitrate key decisions, nudges that rescue from dark nights of the soul, promptings that spur on growth, urgings that come by way of another person, inspiration that opens once-glazed-over eyes to the terrible plight people face in this world-through firsthand accounts spanning fifty-seven years of life, more than thirty of which have been spent in the trenches of ministry, Hybels promotes passion in Christ-followers' hearts for being wide open to hearing from God, and for getting gutsier about doing exactly what he says to do.

4 sessions- 25 minutes each
Session 1. The Whisper-Led Life
Session 2. Divine Input for the Day-To-Day
Session 3. Practice, Practice, Practice
Session 4. Wide Open for Good

Through the characters lives you will see the same debris of the past and future road blocks that we all face.

MONEY TALKS

DVD0706
MONEY TALKS
This "Liquid" resource focuses on money, finances and stewardship presented through a five episode series, with each episode followed by teaching based on different Biblical lessons. Each episode is typically 10 minutes in length. The participants' guide moves the viewer into reading God's Word and pondering questions that lead to true discovery.

Money Talks:
Do you love me? Do you trust me? Do you live for me? Do you want more of me? It's funny how money and God say some of the same things. If you think you have ever had issues with money, you should meet the Penders. Money is a part of all our lives, but to this California family, money is everything. Their outrageous view of money provides an amusing yet insightful reflection on struggles we all face in our consumer-driven culture. Money Talks take a lighthearted but important look at one of the more difficult issues of our faith: money and stewardship.
