This holiday season a truly amazing film is being released world wide - along with books and CD's. The Prince of Egypt is an animated film about Moses and how God worked in his life to lead the Israelites from bondage in Egypt to freedom in the Promise land.  This movie is one parents can feel very confident taking their children to see as it accurately and with excellence portrays the Biblical record of Moses.
