In the beginning God created the Heauen and the Earth. Genesis j.1 KJV
For Nativity I got my dad KJB: The King James Bible - The Book that Changed the World (DVD).
When the DVD arrived I noticed the DVD was loose in the case. Knowing that my dad dislike opening the plastic packaging I decided to do him a favour and open up the DVD sleeve (although I did miss his usual phillipic against hermetically-sealed packages and needing a chainsaw to open the chainsaw required to open a clamshell, nevermind that DVDs aren't packaged in clamshells; if it's easy to open, somewhere a packaging engineer lost his job) and checked to see if the disc was scratched. It didn't appear to be and I put it in the computer to be sure. My wife saw the title and inquired; I advised I was going to watch a few minutes and make sure it played fine. We we both so fixated by the film that it was not until ten minutes later that one of us spoke: I asked her if I should get chairs so we could sit down. She replyed, no, she was going to watch just a few minutes more and go back to what she was doing. Ten minutes later she got us chairs to watch the rest of the film. I believe this is the only movie I've stood watching for 20 minutes and am sure that no other movie has so encaptured both of us together for that long.
The movie is narariated by the incomparable John Rhys-Davies in a docudrama format. Many experts appear to give some background information about the Bible or the King behind it. Interspersed with this are reënactments complete with lavish period dress and settings. The film does a splendid job of telling its story and has several extra minutes of interviews with the scholars and John Rhys-Davies as bonus features.
The grace of our Lord Iesus Christ be with you all. Amen. Reuelation xxij.21 KJV
