Reaching those we know: Give them a DVD

One of the benefits of living in a media-soaked culture is that people are very comfortable consuming multimedia content. While coming to church is a big step for some, sitting in their lounge-room, watching a presentation is a very accessible way to explore Christianity. 

Here's two DVDs well worth sharing with your friends, family and colleagues. You could buy them a copy and give it to them, or invite them over and watch together. If you go with option one, it's worth watching the DVD yourself first, so you can discuss it with them afterwards! 

Indescribable by Louie Giglio

From the cover: "Indescribable takes us on an image-rich journey through the Cosmos, allowing us to peer into God's universe to discover the amazing magnitude of His greatness and grace."

This is a visually-rich talk that reminds us of how small we are in comparison with the universe. It's moving, engaging and compelling.

You can order copies of Indescribable from Koorong, or other Christian bookshops.

The God Who Is There by Don Carson

Not for the short attention span, this DVD series contains 14 talks by Don Carson and "simultaneously evangelizes non-Christians and edifies Christians by explaining the Bible’s storyline in a non-reductionistic way. The series is geared toward “seekers” and articulates Christianity in a way that causes hearers either to reject or embrace the gospel. It’s one thing to know the Bible’s storyline, but it’s another to know one’s role in God’s ongoing story of redemption."

It's excellent. 

You can order 'The God Who Is There' from Amazon, or various other places online. You can learn more about the series here.
