This resource is a mission of global proportions that invites Christians around the world to unite around the central message of our faith, embodied in the words of John 3:16. This DVD companion production to Lucado's new book, 3:16 The Numbers of Hope , features 12 teaching segments by Max that unpack this timeless message - phrase by enduing phrase.
This is for both individual and small group studies. Stories of Hope takes us deeper into what Lucado calls, "the hope diamond" of the Bible; John 3:16.
The DVD also features an exclusive short-film written by Max Lucado that tells the ‘prodigal’ story in an inspiring and challenging new way. Wherever You Are tells the story of Katherine, who finds herself far from home in a dance club remembering a more innocent time in her life dancing with her father. Katherine's rebellion and its consequences lead to an inspiring story of forgiveness, grace, and unconditional love.
