GIVEAWAY WINNERS: Congratulations Brenda Cascio and Mary Tullila! Thank you to everyone who entered the drawing for the giveaway.
Good Monday morning!
Y’all, I have been so blessed by my writing sabbatical…blessed with rest, sweet communion with Jesus, renewed excitement about ministry, and perspective. It has been a good, good time and I will definitely plan another next year.
However, when the opportunity to share an exciting new feature of The JESUS Film dropped into my inbox, I knew that it was worthy of a post. Especially since there is a GIVEAWAY tacked onto the feature.
Do you know about The JESUS film? If not, here is a bit of history about it.
In honor of its 35th anniversary, The JESUS Film, the most watched film in history, having been viewed billions of times, has now been re-mastered in high-definition with a complete new musical score in Dolby 5.1 surround sound.
The JESUS Film is a faithful depiction of Christ’s birth, ministry, death and resurrection as told in the biblical account from the Gospel of Luke. Virtually every word Jesus speaks in The JESUS Film is quoted from Scripture, with 450 leaders and scholars having reviewed the script for biblical accuracy. Further historical accuracy was ensured using clothing, pottery and other props made with first-century methods to portray a 2,000-year-old Palestinian culture.
The JESUS Film has been officially recognized by The Guinness Book of World Records as the Most Translated Film in history, and is now is available in 1,197 languages. In addition, more than 200 million individuals worldwide have indicated a decision to follow Jesus after viewing The JESUS Film. This story of the film’s impact over the past 35 years will be shown through an exclusive new short feature narrated by actor Ernie Hudson and available on the re-mastered widescreen DVD.
The disc includes The JESUS Film in a total of eight languages English, Spanish, Mandarin, French, Vietnamese, German, Korean and Arabic.Bonus Features:
