Magdalena: Through Her Eyes ~ Resurrection Day DVD review/Giveaway

     Over the centuries, women in most cultures have not been respected for who they are.  I do not consider myself a feminist, but I do believe that every human being should be respected as a human being of equal value, regardless of race, religion, physical or mental challenges, gender, and many other features and beliefs. 

     The "Jesus Film" has been used by Campus Crusade to present Jesus Christ to tribes and cultures worldwide for 30 years now.  Millions have come to know Jesus Christ for who He is thanks to the Jesus Film Project.

     This year, Campus Crusade has released a new film that revolves around the Jesus Film Project but is specially designed to reach out to women:

Magdalena:  Through Her Eyes

     I think I saw the Jesus Film many years ago, and I've been amazed to see how this one film has revolutionized the lives of many people during the last three decades.

     I'm even more excited to see how the Lord will use Magdalena: Through Her Eyes to impact women and change their lives and their perspectives on life!

     We enjoyed watching this movie from a woman's perspective on life and ministry in working with Jesus Christ when He lived on earth.  It was an excellent reminder just before Resurrection Day to bring us back to the culture and times of Jesus' life here on earth, and His ministry, suffering, death, resurrection, and impact on all times in history.

 
    Deep in hopelessness, one woman found freedom as she was delivered from her past. Magdalena reveals what can happen when women refuse to live in defeat and choose to discover their real value. It is the true story of Jesus seen through the eyes of Mary Magdalene: a story of tenderness, freedom and purpose. Journey with women of our past to discover hope for your future.

Magdalena: Through Her Eyes includes:

• A condensed 60 minute version which gives you the option to view the film in English, Spanish, Portuguese or French. This version is great for ministry viewings at your church or in a Bible study.
• A series of short Event Promotional videos are available to promote the film for a church event or bible study. 
• A free two minute video of women's needs today. 
• The full-length 82 minute version of the film in English, Spanish, French, Mandarin, Korean, Arabic, Russian and Portuguese. 
• Printed and available in the inside of the DVD is a thoughtful article written by Sharon Jaynes to encourage women to open their hearts to Christ called, "God, Do You Really Care About Me?"
  
• Printed and available in the inside of the DVD is the "Share the Journey" booklet which explains how to host a showing in your community or church. 
• Movie trailers and more.
