Better than "It's a Wonderful Life."
I promise!
Our family purchased The Star of Bethlehem DVD in 2007. What a mind blower! This is the film you want to watch on Christmas Eve after a special candelight carol service at your church. It's a documentary that immediately went into our collection of Christmas classics.
From producer Stephen McEveety (The Passion of the Christ), this film is a stunning display of evidence to support the claims that the bright star which guided the Magi was a bonafide celestial phenomenon.
But it's even more than that. The Star of Bethlehem is part of a much bigger message spread out for us in the heavens above. Researcher and presenter Rick Larson calls it a "celestial poem of terrible beauty," beginning with Messiah's birth and culminating at his crucifixion.
With the aid of computer animations of the ancient night sky, Dr. Larson leads the viewer through a series of Old and New Testament Scriptures. You'll be in awe for days afterward, as you meditate on the sovereignty of our God, the vastness of his creation, and the precise timing of this "Clockwork Star."If you have friends who are skeptical about the faith, invite them over to nibble popcorn and watch this presentation. You'll find it engages even the most hostile viewer in an entertaining and understandable way. I highly recommend The Star of Bethlehem to confirm the faith of believers, and especially as an outreach to skeptics and non-believers.

I couldn't help thinking about C.S. Lewis when I was looking at this site, as he was keen on celestial "signs". I'm sure he would have enjoyed this DVD.
Faith & Ozjane: Personal email responses are on their way to you.
Buffy: That's an interesting point! I wasn't aware of C.S. Lewis' interest in the movements of the constellations. Happy New Year.
We love this video. We show it at church every year! It is amazing!
