Suffering is everywhere and it changes us, for better or worse.
Ed's Story is our story. Diagnosed with ALS and given a short time to live, Ed Dobson wrestles with issues suffering raises: worry, identity, forgiveness, gratitude, and healing. What emerges in this 7-film series is his discovery that there is always hope.
ED’S STORY: Film Two - Consider the Birds
Sometimes worry can come in waves and be overwhelming. We try so hard to control our lives, when in face we have no control over the future. Ed discovered that it is hard to find God when we are worried about tomorrow; but when we live in the moment, He is right there with us.
ED’S STORY: Film Three - Be There
When people around us suffer, it's only natural to want to help. But what can you say when someone's life falls apart and suffering becomes their reality? Ed learned that sometimes the answer is to "show up and shut up." Perhaps just being present can bring more comfort, peace, and a sense of God's presence than words ever could.

Set in Raymond, California, a once prosperous town that has hit hard times, the film centers on Rev. Henry Maxwell, who has been struggling with his faith since a car crash killed his pregnant wife and son.

Based on the best-selling book, Is the Father Of Jesus The God Of Muhammad? by Dr. Timothy George.
Words unfamiliar to most Americans are now heard daily on the evening news: jihad, Islam, Allah, Quran, fatwa, imam, ummah, Ramadan. Today, Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world, with more than 13,000 mosques in North America alone. Now that Muslims are our neighbours, how do we talk to them about Christ? What do Muslims think about Jesus? Which beliefs do we share in common with Muslims and where do we differ from them? Do we worship the same God they worship? Is the Father of Jesus the God of Muhammad?

Noted theologian, best-selling author, Dr. Timothy George, teams with T N Mohan, producer-director of the award winning films, Hanged On A Twisted Cross, Here I Stand, For One English Officer, to answer these and other in this visually rich four-part TV series. Dr. George is dean of Beeson Divinity School of Samford University and an executive editor of Christianity Today.

The series avoids the angry condemnation of all Muslims on the one hand, or a compromising of Christian truth-claims on the other. Muslim views are stated fairly and objectively from Muslim scholars who appear in the series. The programs set forth basic and foundational differences between Christianity and Islam and the implications for how we understand God, Christ, and the meaning of salvation.  

Includes four 25-minute programs: The Tenets Of Islam, The Trinity, The Bible And The Incarnation and The Cross And Salvation.

DVD includes PDF of 32-page study guide and optional English subtitles. Approximate total running time is 1 hour 40 minutes.
