V905	Biblical Adam & Eve - Fact or Fiction?      46 min The story of Adam & Eve in the book of Genesis is the most controversial story in the Bible. Scientists and critics quickly dismiss the story in favour of Darwin's theory that human beings evolved from some lower species. But there is growing evidence that we are all descended from common parents.
V906	Prayer Intervention - Is there really power in prayer?      46 min For thousands of years, people all over the world have accepted the idea of prayer based simply on faith. New medical and scientific studies are now answering the question, "Is there really power in prayer?"
V907	Egyptian Pyramids - What's behind the door in the Pyramid?      46 min  The Great Pyramid is the largest manmade structure on our planet. Why was it built? What secret chambers lie undiscovered in its interior? Is it a storehouse of knowledge from ancient times?

V910

Greg Laurie - How to Change for Good      38 min  Evangelist Greg Laurie explains why the conversation between Jesus and Nicodemus in John 3 is really a conversation between God and mankind. External changes will not give us the satisfaction we long for. We need to change from the inside. Greg assures his audience "you can know, for sure, that you have eternal life and are going to Heaven."

ANSWERS IN GENESIS
V911	Andy McIntosh - Intricacies of Flight      60 min In the world we see three types of flying creature. Birds, bees/butterflies/moths, and bats. Each type reveals the rich variety of God's creation. Birds have many structural features that could not have evolved. They must all be present at the same time if the bird is to fly. The flight of butterflies and moths is still not fully understood. Fossils of butterflies are the same as the modern creature. Bats fly using a wing that has no feathers or scales.
V912	Tas Walker - Noah's Flood Evidence in Australia      62 min  Those who believe the Genesis record of creation and those who accept evolution have the same evidence, but they have different interpretations of it. Tas Walker explains how the discovery of fossils and water trapped in sedimentary rock in Australia points to the global flood of Noah's day.
V913	Ken Ham - The Key to Reclaiming the Culture      41 min  Ken challenges his American audience to recognise how the church has lost its influence on the nation's culture. One problem is our failure to believe what the Bible says about the world we live in. If we cannot answer questions about the Bible's statements on science and our origins, why would people believe our call to acccept what the Bible says about Jesus as Saviour?
V914	Jason Lisle - Viewing the Universe Through Biblical Glasses      36 min  Our world-view determines how we interpret the world and the universe in which we live. Either we accept that God's word is truth or we agree that mankind decides "truth" without reference to God. The Bible is not an astronomy textbook, but when it touches on astronomy, it is right.
	Terry Mortenson - The Origin of Old-Earth Geology and Christian Compromise in the early 19th Century. The debate about creation and the age of the earth is essentially a debate between two belief systems: Philosophical Naturalism and Supernaturalism. Philosophical Naturalism holds two principles - first, nature or matter is all that exists and second, everything can and must be explained by time plus chance plus the laws of nature working on matter. Supernaturalism believes that God created the universe and is still active as shown in miracles, prophecy and the incarnation of Jesus Christ.
V915	Part 1      53 min
V916	Part 2      70 min
V917	Emil Silvestru - Do the Rocks Hide Millions of Years?      65 min The age of rocks does not matter in the main practical applications of geology, e.g. finding ore deposits, selecting construction sites, identifying geological hazards. The age became important when Darwin and other biologists wanted evidence to support their old earth theories. This DVD is quite technical as it considers the types of features that geologists study in rocks.
V918	Emil Silvestru - Geology & Cave Formation      71 min Describes many features of underground caves, rivers and other geological features known as karst, and gives examples. Silvestru states that undergound caves and rivers provide about 25% of the world's fresh water and have huge potential as a source of high quality water. This DVD has a lot of technical detail but it includes good images of caves and related geological features.

Some were Bad to the Bone, some were Bad for a Moment while others were Bad for a Season but not Forever. This message has helped many women experience God's grace in a new way.
V939	Really Bad Girls of the Bible      60 min These women were in a pit but they did not have to stay there. Jesus is willing to come down into the pit to get each of us out and set us on a new path.
V940	Unveiling Mary Magdalene      60 min Mary was not a bad girl but a mad girl. She is honoured in the gospels and does not deserve the bad reputation that has grown around her name. (See the review)

Mother Teresa of Calcutta Sixty years ago a young nun in Calcutta heard God calling her to leave her convent and serve the poor and dying in the streets. For fifty years she met all opposition from within the Roman Catholic church, the community and the Indian government with the same response, "Jesus has called me to serve the poor." She quietly but firmly rejected attempts to create formal structures and organisations around her work, preferring to work under God's direction. This movie tells the story of her life devoted to those who were neglected and rejected by others.

V946	Joseph      3 hours
	This three hour movie is no sanitised children’s story. Its M rating (for audiences 16 years and over) is justified. Produced by Time Life Video in a series on biblical themes.

The only bright spot in Jay’s life is his classic Triumph sports car, but although it looks great, he cannot drive it until he replaces the flywheel. Like his car, Jay has deep-seated problems and he is forced to make painful changes. By the end of the story we see that a man who gives his life to God really will be a different person.

Charles Price - speaking at Central West Christian Conference These messages from Romans chapters 1 to 8 were recorded at the Central West Christian Conference at Orange, NSW. Charles Price explains that Paul wrote this letter to the Christians in Rome to counter rumours about the message he was preaching. It is the most complete explanation we have of what the Gosel is - a message that tells how God came out of heaven so He might get into people. In the beginning, God made human beings who would reflect His character. Through sin, man became unrighteous, no longer presenting an image of the character of God. The Gospel shows how God changes us from being unrighteous to being righteous.
