Taking the original Jesus Film and adding new footage for women by women, the Magdalena: Through Her Eyes DVD portrays the story of Christ from the eyes of Mary Magdalene.
From the Campus Crusade for Christ, Magdalena: Through Her Eyes is the story of Jesus from a woman's perspective. As she followed Jesus, Mary Magdalene witnessed changed lives, miracles and His tenderness toward women. Her own life was radically transformed when Jesus healed her and gave her a new purpose for living.
MY REVIEW:
I don't remember seeing the original version of Magdalena before. When we were watching it, my husband said he had seen it before.
Even if you've seen the original before, you will still want to get Magdalena: Through Her Eyes. There is a short video for the today's women entitled Free. Also included are a couple behind the scenes videos. As well as a few different promos to show to your church or group.
You'll want to visit The Magdalena Today Website, where you can find out more about hosting A Movie Night With a Purpose, a great way to motivate women look at their own journeys, and in turn share the film's message with others. You can download the resources for the movie night on the website, they are free, and editable downloads. You can insert your church's information before printing. There is much, much more available on the website you'll want to see and use.
There is an 8 week Bible study, called Reflections of Hope. I was sent a copy of this, and it looks awesome. You watch a portion of the movie each week, along with a lesson. I haven't started this yet, I did do a quick read of the booklet, though. I'm looking forward to the Bible study. I would love to do it with a group at my church.
We watch a lot of Bible based movies as a family, and we really liked Magdalena: Through Her Eyes. This is a great movie to sit down together as a family and learn more about God's love for us all, and it especially shows God's love for women.
I highly recommend Magdalena: Through Her Eyes DVD and the Reflections of Hope Bible study.
Have you seen this movie before? Would you like to see it?
