Author/Speaker - Rob Bell Produced by - Zondervan

• Favorite Features -
  • includes book with text and photos from the DVD as well as questions to ask and applicable Scripture
  • DVD provides short clip to get conversations started and people thinking

    Interesting, thought provoking, but I really would rather have six or ten of these short clips presented on one DVD.  Purchasing each DVD for a one-time use would be rather costly.  Nicely done, Rob and Zondervan.
