Israel's Mission Discovery Guide with DVD: A Kingdom of Priests in a Prodigal World (13) (That the World May Know)

Great Bible study video

That the World May Know Series (now thirteen volumes in number and, prayerfully, counting) is a profoundly moving and highly instructive series on 'on site' lessons within the Holy Land, upon the sites where Jesus Christ, and those others whose lives and ministries are illuminated within the pages of the Bible, lived, worked, walked, laughed, cried and taught, providing the insight to the culture, the times, the geography, life situations, and circumstances in which they were so fashioned, that the message conveyed to all who would accept it, would remain alive within their very lives and surroundings; as such, recapturing these settings, Ray Vander Laan provides to us the intent and symbology which those who spoke with God's Voice, had passionately intended. Some scriptures will gain a new depth, others will gain new aspects/facets which we were unaware comprised the 'whole picture', while others will gain such an impressive new emphasis, which up till now, had not been available to us because we have not lived during those times, and in those places, yet in this 'new hearing' imparting a new message to lift our heart, delight our mind, sustain the body, both humble and encourage the soul, and further illuminate our path walking in the steps of our Lord Jesus Christ. For many, like myself, too ill or otherwise unable to make the journey to join those fortunate ones experiencing this lectures series in person, this serves as 'the next best thing', and a profound blessing and a deeply moving (to the point of tears in many cases) testiment and testimony to our hearts, minds, and souls, of the Tremendous Truth and Living Love of our wonderful Lord God. I have watched these lessons countless times; they never get old (how could God's Message get old?), and my wife and I have given or loaned out many copies through the years to others who were similarly blessed. My review for each volume of this series will remain unchanged for each and every one, for any indepth review will be inadequate to convey that which is contained within; like someone who sees a work of art who does not have the words to adequately describe, or to do justice to, this masterpiece, all I can do is urge you to come and partake of this blessing and let the scriptures come alive within you once again!

Ray Vander Laan is a truly gifted teacher in bringing together Biblical teaching and the culture of the times. It makes reading my Bible so much clearer with being able to see the places spoken about and understanding the culture Jesus lived and taught in.

I have seen this entire series, and would highly recommend it. This DVD goes into the Christ followers assignment in the world. Three of the lessons cover the parables around the Prodigal Son (Forgiving Father). This is one of my favorites, and the sessions are excellent. I always get new insights from Ray about the Eastern way of understanding, and their perspective. The Creator God loves us and seeks to save the lost. I thought about waiting to get this DVD hoping that the price would go down, but I am glad I got it now. Excellent product; very pleased.

I have purchased the entire 13 dvd collection. I was introduced to Ray Vander Lann in our sunday school class by watching these divds. I loved them so much that I purchased my own set . Film on locations and brings the Bible to life . I would highly recommend these to anyone!

Ray does it again. Our bible study small group has done all 13 of the studies and DVD's over many years of being together. This may be the best one yet. The message is profound and even as mature Christians, we have all grown in our understanding of the roll we have in continuing to represent God here and now. Each of the 5 sessions is so rich we have had to watch each one twice and allow lots of discussion. Don't miss this one.

Came quickly and in fantastic shape.

I have all of the "That the World May Know" series that Ray Vander Laan has made dating all the way back to the VHS tape days. They are great for individual study or group study. I have used many of them for my Sunday School class.

Extremely good teaching, very enlightening
