Read & Share Bible DVD review

The Read And Share Bible DVD, volume 1, is a collection of 13 beloved Biblical happenings from the Old and New Testament. The DVD's most selling quality is its alignment with scripture. Each segment is approximately three minutes, and ideal for the target audience's attention span. Of course, due to necessary time constraints, not every aspect of every story is presented. It is flexible and easy to navigate for home or church setting. The animation is clean and attractive and has a soothing instrumental accompaniment. Unlike many of its counterparts, the Read & Share Bible DVD is not high pitched, busy, or annoying. Quite the opposite.

As a new mom, I'm always on the lookout for engaging and accurate Bible material for my child. I'm very choosey about her video library, and the Read & Share Bible DVD, volume 1 won a place on our shelf...though it can be found more often in our DVD player.

An Enjoyable Weekend Read

As a young girl, Shauna McAllister loses her mother, and hope and faith seem to follow. Shauna's relationship with her father becomes estranged at best. She yearns for his love, but Landon is a broken man who throws himself into his campaign and allows his mind to be poisoned by grief and bad influences.

In fact, the deception and manipulation of the mind is a running theme for many of the characters and much of the plot. It is certainly a topic worth exploring, and Dekker and Healy present it well.

The story takes off when a confrontation between father and daughter goes bad.

Then the accident.

Then nothing.

Shauna wakes to discover her world drastically altered. She is a woman unaccustomed to depending on others, but now finds herself at the mercy of many, for pieces of her memory- integral pieces- have been lost. And in the midst of it all, she doesn't know whom to trust.

Although Shauna has lost her memory, she has gained a special skill that she must learn to wield carefully in hopes of discovering the truth. She sets out on a suspense filled journey to regain what has been lost...or perhaps taken... and clear her name, but it is what she gains in the process that sets in motion a ripple of redemption.

Ted Dekker came highly recommended to me, and this is the first work of his that I have read. Although I wasn't immediately hooked, I stayed with it and was rewarded with a good suspense that kept me guessing and turning pages. I would recommend it for an enjoyable weekend read.
