Special Videos:

You will probably need to do an interlibrary loan from a local university for these videos. They are not "Hollywood" style. Obviously, I have not seen all these videos. However, the ones that I have seen have spurred me on to make them a recommendation. It must be stated that these videos are not from a Christian worldview perspective, but they do have many redeeming qualities (i.e., information hard to obtain in any other manner short of visiting a particular country!) Therefore, I would love to hear comments from anybody that has previewed a particular video or videos for feedback!
