Customer Reviews for Zondervan Purpose of Christmas DVD and Study Guide
Zondervan Purpose of Christmas DVD and Study Guide
The Purpose of Christmas DVD Study for groups and families features three sessions taught by Rick Warren on why we celebrate Christmas and how it can change our lives forever.
At the very first Christmas - the birth of Jesus - an angel announced three things.
In those three statements of the angel, we find the three purposes of Christmas.
The three sessions on this DVD looks at each of those purposes: 1. Christmas is a time for celebration 2. Christmas is a time for salvation 3. Christmas is a time for reconciliation The Purpose of Christmas DVD Pack includes both the DVD and The Purpose of Christmas DVD Study Guide.

Great study, great price. Easy to use. It forces us to look at the event called Christmas instead of the date December 25th and what it means to the world. My adult class loves it. We are finishing our last Sunday with a Celebration Party. We will celebrate the purpose of Christmas, the gift that God sent, our Lord and Savior. If you need a short study to fill in for the Christmas holiday season, this is the one. Great Scripture reference, very refreshing look from the normal studies of the Christmas season.

probably ok for a three-week shallow study but I thought a stretch for RW to create a Christmas-oriented publication. Intended to use for SS group but decided against as impact seemed weak and core theme appeared to be subjective and shallow theological-based.

Great videos and study! I would recommend this for individual or group study. Our church used them in a midweek service and women's Bible study.

I like Rick Warren, but he must have needed money when he wrote this. This is the lamest lesson study I've listened to in a long time. I thought this would be nice to use in the 3 weeks leading up to Christmas, but really... Ask the class to share a Christmas memory? Do you think God is for you or against you? Give me a break, Rick!

I used th3se materials for an experienced Bible study group at our church. Three sessions is great for an Advent study. Pastor Warren's concepts are easy to understand for the new believer and yet prompted meaningful discussion in our 'veteran' group. Since Christmas is a 'hot button' time for many people and can be very stressful, it's good to be reminded that the Incarnation is meant for joy, love and peace. If you are looking for a study that can help you focus on the season, I can recommend these materials. If you want deep theological meaning and answers to hard questions, you may want to look elsewhere.

This three (3) week video series dove-tailed nicely into our celebrate recovery programming, allowing us to pause from our weekly lessons to look at a Christmas theme. The DVD study guide reinforced the ideas presented by Rick Warren and was suitable for new or non-Christian groups. The video segments are 25 minutes in length and with discussion the whole study can be completed within an hour.

The DVD and study guide are an excellent small group study at any time of the year. Rick Warren captured our full attention, offered wonderful insight and encouraged us to grow in our faith on the DVD. We watched his three part series in our Sunday school class and everyone believed it had been a worthwhile study.

Excellent Series--for preparing your heart and life for Christmas. We just finished this as a 3 week study---good questions--I would recommend everyone getting the guidebook and the book --there are some good "think about it" questions and a daily prayer calendar for the days leading up to Christmas. This brings you to a deeper look into your heart and relationships. All 3 Purposes were great studies and the book just kept getting better and better. I asked people if they had read the book---and got answers like "how many times?"---they found themselves going back and rereading parts. Christmas can be a very emotionally challenging time for many people, this may not make it easier, but I think they'll feel they are not alone. And isn't that one of the great points of Christmas--Emmanuel--God with Us. You will be blessed by this series.

This lesson was easy to follow and upbeat. It also did a great job of reminding us the true meaning of Christmas. It was a big hit with my Sunday School Class.

Barry Trantham
Perhaps the best DVD ever from Rick Warren. This is a must buy for all Christians. It's much more than a historical account of Christ's birth. This is a guideline for all who are suffering from doubt and lack of purpose in their lives. Rick Warren says there are three modes of living Survival...Success...Significance. We can only be satisfied when we reach the Significance level and that is only achieved by a relationship with God.Buy it now and consider using it at a celebration party for Christ. It will be the best present you can give to your friends and family.
