The Christianity Explored Course is a fantastic resource. Over 10 sessions Rico Tice presents the good news about Jesus in a way that is challenging and accessible. This is the first time I've run the course using the DVDs rather than doing the talks myself. This has worked really well and enabled me to be more creative regards the other components of our evening together. What makes this course so outstanding is the way in which it encourages participants to get into the text of the Bible for themselves and to interact with Jesus personally. The DVDs themselves are of good quality and creative, though I know some who have found the presentation style slightly annoying in places. Highly Recommended.

This is an excellent course

The Gospel is much clearer than present in the Alpha course.

The fact that Rico Tice is seen in different locations throughout all the prigrammes, makes this DVD resource so versatile. It works very well and can be used in conjunction with live talks or on its' own. There is something for everyone - sport, theatre, literature, school days, further education, film reference and powerful imagery to help emphasis our helplessness as humans and therefore a great need for God.

We are currently watching the DVD at our small fellowship meeting, prior to introducing it to the Church (a small village Methodist chapel mainly of older people) over the next few months.

Our prayer is that the Church will take up the idea of launching it properly to invited friends later in the year.

Rico Tice sets down how we rely on eye witness testimony to verify the facts of ancient historical events and then demonstrates how the gospel posseses this in truckloads.

Rico then focuses in on those testimonies, so that we see the immensity of God's power in what may have become familiar comfortable texts [when Jesus calmed the sea he took a raging storm with 20 foot waves and flattened it ...immediately]

He also demolishes popular arguments intended to dismiss the gospel as the exaggerations of simple people [eg that the darkness following Christ's death was a solar eclipse].

The most important part for me was Rico's dealing honestly with the fact of sin and its consequences for everyone.

This is a great tool for those new to evangelism.

Our local church - part of the national Church of Scotland - has purchased this DVD with a view to holding the first of many Christianity Explored courses between New Year and Easter 2008. At the moment we are training a team to lead this. We find the DVD addresses issues that need to be addressed in a way that is not offensive and yet true and forthright. I think it an excellent tool and would thoroughly recommend it.

We have just completed the second christianity explored course for inmates of our local prison. The course material was easy to understand, promoted much discussion and kept the attention of all who attended. In a meeting to ascertain the impact of the course all inmates had really enjoyed the group discussions and learned from them.Last week we had our first baptism.

Solidly Biblical, ruggedly gospel centred and professionally presented.

No cringe factor here as we share the good news of Jesus with our friends with Mark's gospel open and this dvd on.

Can be used one to one or in small groups at home. Best used in combination with the CE study book (no I'm not on commission; well not with gbc, just thinking of Matt 28v19-20!)

Some of Rico's self-deprecating humour doesn't always work but he comes across so well 99% of the time, it really doesn't matter.

Well worth established believers watching CE dvd too; helps build confidence in evangelism and having some answers ready.

Christianity Explored is a great opportunity to introduce unbelievers to the gospel of Mark and Christianity itself. The briliance of the DVD set is that it allows participants to see a consistent message in each course and also allow, if need be, a chance for listeners to challenge the content without directly attacking the course leader.

This DVD is well stocked with both the media itself and a small booklet that offers direction for doing the course. Users will want to purchase other course materials but as a stand-alone tool, it is excellent.

This is the 5th time we have used the course at our Chapel, a Brethren church, but the first time with the DVD edition. The DVD format is sharper as a picture than the Videos were.

This course, based on Mark's Gospel, does dispel the false ideas which people have about what Christianity is at its heart. By insisting on dealing with the fact that Jesus is God and with the reason for His coming - the sin problem and then with the Cross and Grace, Resurrection etc. the Gospel is clearly presented. As in the past our participants found the issue of Sin and their consequent need, topgether with Grace and their inability to do anything to earn Salvation, the most difficult to come to terms with. I suppose that has always been the case!

An excellent resource that is very clear as to what a Christian is and what God has done for us. I have recently watched these videos with a non-Christian mum from pre-school and have been impressed and encouraged as I have watched my friend have her mind changed as to what the Bible has to say about various issues. Rico is a gifted communicator, I will use this DVD again! Thankyou!
