THE RECKONING - Remembering the Dutch Resistance This documentary describes the eyewitness accounts of six Dutch survivors of world war 2. Very eye-opening and dramatic, without trying to be. There is a witness to God's faithfulness and sovereignty here that is rarely seen anymore.
GOD OF WONDERS - Exploring the Wonders of Creation, Conscience, and the Glory of God Explore what the creation reveals about God's character. Very well put together. As Romans 1 says, what may be known about God has been revealed to us, for from the creation of the world He has made it plain. God's invisible qualities - His eternal power and divine nature - are clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.
YOGA UNCOILED - From East to West...A look into the practice of Yoga in the Church This is pretty straightforward, even shocking to watch. Think yoga is just harmless exercise? You won't by the end of this. Candid and very well researched, it presents a significant portion of its evidence directly from those in the church who teach and support yoga. Disturbing.
FINAL WARNING - Economic Collapse and the Coming World Government An interesting look at the technology already in place to unite all the world's systems, and to monitor and apprehend those who rebel against it. A bit hokey, but definitely eye-opening.
A QUESTION OF ORIGINS - Creation or Evolution? It isn't enough to just believe IN God...even the demons do that. Either you believe in the God who says He created the world and all that is in it, in six days (and rested the seventh)...or it is another 'god' you are putting your faith in. God doesn't lie, nor does He lead us astray into myths. His Word is truth. This DVD examines the theory of evolution against the Biblical account of creation. Both take faith to believe in, as neither can be proven. Do you put your faith in man's explanation or God's? Thoughtfully and carefully presented from a scientific viewpoint.
EXPELLED - NO INTELLIGENCE ALLOWED Ben Stein (somebody from Hollywood, I think a comedian) presents an amazingly unbiased documentary, interviewing top scientists both promoting and refuting the theory of evolution. Includes a stunningly understated interview with Richard Dawkins (the God Delusion) in which this eminent scientist straight facedly theorizes that life may well have been 'seeded' here by aliens from outer space.
DANIEL'S TIMELINE Examines the 70th week, Jubilee years, Biblical feasts, the lessons in creation week, the vision of Revelation 12, current events and suggests a possible timeline. Jesus said we would not know the day or the hour he returns...he did not say we wouldn't know the year and the month. Presents facts and ideas in a thought provoking way. Low budget effort, but worth watching once or twice. Lots in there for the average Christian who has no clue of what the First Covenant (Old Testament) promises actually cover...and on which the New Covenant (New Testament) is based.

GODS OF THE NEW AGE - Understanding the philosophy and goals of the New Age Movement in today's culture. From the hairstyles, this was originally made in the late 80's or early 90's, yet it is even more relevant now, as most churches today have wholeheartedly embraced these philosophies that are being warned against here. Explores the influence of Hindu religion on today's church.
Think that can't possibly happen? Does your church teach contemplative prayer (or promote Richard Foster or Henri Nouwen) or lectio divina, use or encourage prayer beads (necklaces or bracelets) or repetitious prayer? Does your church promote spiritual experiences over simple trust in God through all of life? Does prayer (including use of prayer stations, journals, methods or seminars on 'how to') take precedence over a sound knowledge of God's Word and obedience to His laws? Does your church do Bible studies using the Bible, or does it substitute video presentations, guided studies or book studies like the appalling 'The Shack' or 'Twilight' as a replacement for serious Bible study?
This recording is a compelling testimony of the power of God's truth in Christ to change lives and to set free from darkness. Worth watching more than once! The content of this recording is disturbing and will challenge you to be sure your faith is well grounded on the Word of God.
AUDIO CDs
EMERGENT CHURCH A Firefighters for Christ (FFC) recording of Charlie H. Campbell's sermon on the Emergent church. Excellent for those who have heard of this 'church', but aren't sure what exactly it is.
JUDGEMENT BEGINS IN THE HOUSE OF GOD Another FFC offering, this one by Brian Broderson. A challenge to return to God and prepare ourselves for what is coming. Not frightening, but deeply challenging.
THE HIDING PLACE An audio presentation by Corrie ten Boom herself, from her book. Which, if you don't know (you should read, it is a classic) is about her work in the resistance movement of the second world war, in Holland. Thanks to her faith in action, many Jews lived. EXCELLENT for teens and children to hear, my 13 year old just loves it. Also FFC
RAISING GODLY CHILDREN Ken Ham (Answers in Genesis) looks at parenting. Solid stuff taught with an Aussie accent. Another FFC offering.
BOOKS
THINGS WE COULDN'T SAY - A Dramatic Account of Christian Resistance in Holland During World War II. The memoir of Diet Eman, a woman who is one of the WW2 survivors interviewed on the DVD The Reckoning. A book that is not easily forgotten.
FAST FACTS ON FALSE TEACHINGS Easy to read 'primer' on the facts of Mormonism (the authour of the popular teen book 'Twilight' is Mormon, NOT Christian), Jehovah's Witnesses, Freemasonry, New Age, Evolution, Prosperity Theology, Roman Catholic, Unification, Islam... A good reference book that is not hard to read. Well laid out, it compares each religion to the Christian faith. Books like this teach Christian apologetics, which presents a rational basis for the Christian faith...from the BIBLE!
GROWING UP IN VICTORIA And now for something completely different! Written by a Victoria, British Columbia native, Eric Stofer, this is a wonderful read (including pictures) of the many changes in a small town.
LAUGHTER CALLS ME - A True and Remarkable Account The true story of a young mother who discovers her children have become victims of child pornography...at the hands of their 'christian' relatives. Covers a twenty year period in the authour's life, and that of her children. A very disturbing read...but a powerful telling of God's healing, deliverance and provision. It has a happy ending!
RESTORING THE JEWISHNESS OF THE GOSPEL - A Message for Christians (from a Messianic Jew) David Stern (authour of The Complete Jewish Bible) writes a small book with a big message for Christians. Romans 11 tells us clearly that Christians are grafted in as wild branches on the olive tree, with Jews being the natural branches. So why is there such a disconnect today? Jews do not stop being Jews when they embrace Yeshua (the Hebrew name for who we call Jesus), and they who have been entrusted with the Torah (the instruction of God) have much to contribute as we should be learning together. This book is not about the man-made religion called Judaism. It is, rather, a 'natural branch' presenting some areas that the 'wild branches' can and should be challenged on. You may find this book will 'prune' your religious beliefs somewhat.
THIS LITTLE CHURCH STAYED HOME - A Faithful Church in Deceptive Times Encouragement for churches and believers who want to stay firmly grounded in the Scriptures instead of being blown about by every wind of doctrine (Ephesians 4:14). Is your church selling out to modern trends and mystical theology? A good test is: does your church have well-attended Bible studies...where the Bible itself is studied...and not a study guide, DVD series or 'christian book' instead?
TAPESTRY - The Journey of Laurel Lee A powerful testimony of faith. Laurel responded to the call of God early in her life. She continued sharing the gospel of peace with God, throughout all the agonizing twists and turns of her life, and reached many people with the good news of wholeness and righteousness in Christ. This is real and inspirational faith, tested and refined and shining brightly.
FOR MANY SHALL COME IN MY NAME 'While men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat' (Matthew 13) Most people think the New Age movement has been long gone from our society, and certainly hasn't infiltrated our churches. This book will help you get your head out of the sand. ;) Truth is, this movement is found, alive and thriving, in almost every mainstream denomination. Most probably yours, and most definitely in what was mine. If you object to what these new doctrines teach, and bring it up with your pastor, you may not be welcomed. It is sad and of great concern that pastors seem increasingly to prefer a healthy financial bottom line to a healthy spiritual bottom line. Written by Ray Yungen, a very thorough researcher.
FAITH UNDONE - The Emerging Church...a New Reformation or an End-Time Deception? Written by Roger Oakland, also a researcher. Excellent read, good things to learn and evaluate.
THE PRINCIPLE OF THE SEED A 'Hebrew roots' explanation of who the Children of God are. A short read. You've almost certainly never read anything like this before. There is so much in here, I had to put it down frequently to digest some of it first. The authour, Brad Scott, writes in a simple and easy to understand style, it is the deeper realization of the incredible wisdom of the Creator that is overwhelming!
RUNNING AGAINST THE WIND - The Transformation of a New Age Medium and His Warning to the Church This is the book that wakes up more people than any of the others. An autobiography of Brian Flynn, a believer who knows of what he speaks, and clearly warns those in the church to wake up.
