Seeing a film and reading a book about the film offers a greater experience than either the film or book can provide on its own. Journeys with the Messiah s new 34-chapter Guide Book and free 34-episode companion Film Series work in tandem to take you on an exciting journey of discovery with Jesus. Both book and films greatly expand the message content depicted by Journeys original collection of photographs released in 2009. Although the films and the book can be experienced one without the other, together they they provide a greater experience than they provide on their own. You could say 1 + 1 = 3. Each of the 34 chapters concludes with a section called Thoughts to Ponder, a series of thoughts and/or questions to ponder from time spent with the film and/or its companion chapter. Along with the original images, the book and/or the book and films can be used for powerful individual or small group studies or as a devotional. They can also be used as a source for pastors, teachers and leaders to create their own presentations. Produced in the ancient city Matera, Italy, this one-of-a-kind photographic journey delightfully incites a fresh perspective of Jesus, creating a depth of feeling and emotion through images that are both comforting, enlightening, full of hope and challenging. It is the author s prayer that they ignite a passion in the viewer to know Jesus even more or perhaps consider Him for the first time.
