One is "Jesus of Nazareth", which I applaud for its excellent lifelike, three dimensional portrayal of the characters, especially Peter and Jesus. The other is "GodSpell", a rather offbeat retelling according to the Gospel of Matthew. However, it is one of the most loving, joyous, upbeat, and enlivening portrayals of the Gospel that I have ever seen. I viewed it 3 or 4 times in a row when Jesus was first opening up my heart some 35 years ago. I love it just as much today! If you watch it, don't do so as a legalistic, nit-picking Pharisee. Drink in the love, joy, and exuberance of the characters and of the movie itself. |

Joseph Fiennes stars as "Martin Luther", the brilliant man of God whose defiant actions changed the world, in this epic, ravishingly beautiful film that traces Luther's extraordinary and exhilarating quest for the people's liberation. Regional princes and the powerful Church wield a fast, firm and merciless grip on 16th-century Germany. But when Martin Luther issues a shocking challenge to their authority, the people declare him their new leader and hero. Even when threatened with violent death, Luther refuses to back down, sparking a bloody revolution that shakes the entire continent to its core. Like The Passion of the Christ, Luther is the story of a spiritual leader, German monk Martin Luther (Joseph Fiennes), in opposition to the religious orthodoxy of the time (in his case, the 1500s). His goal--to bring God to the people and to take money, fear, and shame out of the equation--made him a reformer to some, a heretic to others.

| The musical production of "Les Miserables" is, in my opinion, one of the finest dramatic music presentations that I have ever seen. It deserves all of the praise, accolades, and ovations that it can receive !! NOTE: This comment applies ONLY to the musical production (concert) known as ""The 10th Anniversary Dream Cast", presented by Cameron Mackintosh, featuring the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra at the Royal Albert Hall, in 1995. There was a movie released in 2012 that was a DISGRACE to the name of the play -- miss it by ALL means !! There is also a dramatic production made in 1998 staring Liam Neeson as Javert that I recommend.
While it is in NO way a Christian production, yet I found the trait of maniacal, Phariseeical self righteous portrayed better in the character of Javert than in ANY "religious" production. "So it must be -- for so it is written on the doorway to paradise -- that those who would falter and those who fall must pay the price !!" He carries it so far that, when confronted with the need to deviate from his legalistic obsession, and perhaps revaluate his view about Jean Valjean and even be grateful to him, he finds it so impossible and repulsive that instead he takes his own life. It is the story of the fall and redemption of Frenchman Jean Valjean, imprisoned for stealing some bread for his starving family. In prison, he is constantly harassed by the hard-nosed lawman, Javert. Valjean is paroled after nearly two decades of hard labor. A gift of two silver candlesticks from a kindly priest helps him begin anew. He breaks his parole and finds success as a businessman and as the mayor of a small town. He meets a dying woman named Fantine and swears to raise her daughter. Javert catches up to him, but Valjean escapes. The daughter, Cosette, grows up and falls in love with Marius, a student. An ill-fated, student-led revolution makes the mother of all climaxes for this beauty of a production. The musical score vividly captures the passion of Victor Hugo's epic tale of post-Revolutionary France, combining tear-jerking ballads ("I Dreamed a Dream," "Bring Him Home") and rousing anthems ("Do You Hear the People Sing"). The format of this concert is closer to that of a dramatic cantata rather than a fully staged production; the singers stand at their microphones with an orchestra and chorus behind them and participate in some movement, but they do wear costumes. At certain points, such as the climax of the barricade scene, the video switches to action from a stage production. The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra sounds great, and it can be thrilling when 200 choristers rise to their feet for a full-company number such as "One Day More." |

| The selection, "Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show" from 1970, is NOT his best performance of this song, neither artistically nor technically. What makes IT unique is the message that he conveys in the middle of the song. LISTEN -- I think that you will find it VERY interesting !! |

"Giving Glory" is a special interview by Gary Amirault with Louis Abbott, (perhaps best known on the Tentmaker site as the author of "An Analytical Study of Words"). This in-depth study on various words that have been translated as: "eternal," "everlasting," "judgment," "Hell" etc, has proved to be an invaluable study tool for many. In this special interview, you will hear of Bro. Abbott's testimony--how, as a young pastor he was challenged by one of his members to study universal reconciliation. Intending to disprove the doctrine, Louis instead became convinced that it was true. After eventually leaving his pastorate, he gave much of his life to studying Greek and Hebrew; ranging from ancient manuscripts to modern scholarship. Louis, who studied the Greek New Testament for 50 years, spent his lifetime gathering this treasure-trove of information. "There is probably no one who has studied the word 'aion' as much as Louis Abbott" declares Gary Amirault. It is our belief that after watching this video, the viewer, like Mr. Abbott, will come to the conclusion, that Jesus will save the entire world though His work on the cross. |
Faith Under Fire -- "Hell: Fact or Fiction"This nation-wide cable program hosted by Lee Strobel was aired on on 11/6/04, on PAX TV. Gary Amirault was invited to debate professor Jerry Walls on the issue of Hell. Because Gary was unable to entirely present his case, we filmed an extra addendum to the show. This .wmv video contains the following segments:
