Jesus: What He Said, What He Did

The sequel to Jesus Grows Up (VL-3/00), this 2-D animated video aimed at younger viewers is based on the book of the same name. Covering Christ's life from his baptism, through his death and resurrection, the program focuses on what he said (for instance, the parables he shared) and what he did (such as performing miracles), while emphasizing throughout both God and his son's sense of love and forgiveness for everyone. Although this is a nicely produced book-on-videotape, the music and editing choices might make the pace a bit too slow to keep the attention of the target audience. An optional purchase for religious schools or Sunday school church groups. Aud: K, E, P. (E. Gieschen)
