1. Abaraham, Sarah, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph
2h
Abraham was respected by others, and he was courageous in defending his family at any cost. Sarah, his wife, became mother of a nation and ancestor of Jesus. She was a woman of faith and the first woman listed in the Hall of Faith in Hebrews 11. Sarah gave birth to her miracle - child, Isaac, when she was ninety years old. He was the fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham. God's promise to create a great nation was passed on by Isaac to his twin sons. One of the twins, Jacob served as father to the twelve tribes of Israel. His son, Joseph, accomplished a great feat when he rose dramatically from slave to ruler with his personal integrity and spiritual sensitivity.
2. The Apostle Paul

Apart from Jesus, no person shaped the history of Christianity like the Apostle Paul. His personal encounter with Jesus Christ changed his life from persecutor to preacher for Christ.

Paul wrote letters to various churches, many of which became part of the New Testament. His pilgrimage made lands holy and places sacred. Follow in the footsteps of Paul and experience the beauty of Jerusalem, Antioch, Philippi, Athens, Corinth, Ephesus, Malta, and Rome where he was executed for the faith he once denounced.

4. Mary of Nazareth
1h 50m
Directed by Cannes Film Festival award-winner Jean Dellanoy (La Symphonic Pastorale), this profoundly moving feature film traces the life of Mary in her many roles - beloved daughter, wife of Joseph, mother of Jesus, and inspiration to all. Myriam Muller stars as Mary, the simple, young girl from Galilee, visited by the angel, Gabriel, who announces to her in a blinding light that she will give birth to Jesus - an event that will change the course of history forever. Blind to His real mission, the people are sure that Jesus will help them to restore their nation to its former glory. But He is there for something more important. He is not only the Jesus of history but also the Christ of faith. Share Mary's unique perspective as her son touches, heals and ministers to thousands, only to be humiliated and crucified before her very eyes. With over 100 featured actors and 8,500 extras, Mary of Nazareth is beautifully and reverently told, with nothing left out from the Gospels. One can only believe that if she had known all she would suffer as the mother of Jesus, Mary would have given the same response, "I am the Lord's servant."
