This series brings the Old Testament alive. Through a lighthouse, teens are transported to Bible times where they learn of a loving God who cares for God’s people. Includes study materials. Vision Video. EcuFilm reviewer’s note: Filmed in Wales, the DVDs reflect the area’s architecture, countryside and actors’ dialect and not those of ancient Israel; however, the overall drama and messages from stories shine through. Start with Episodes 1 and 2 since they explain the lighthouse and how the teens are transported to Bible times. Episodes 8 & 9: Saul In episode 8 Samuel has been a faithful prophet and judge of Israel, but the people are increasingly dissatisfied. Attacks from surrounding nations have fed their desire for a king to lead them. In episode 9 since the shy farmer, Saul, has become the king of Israel, his family has noticed some changes. His newfound power and status leave him little time to consult with God. How far should we follow if our leaders take a wrong turn?
