    I (along with my entire family) am a huge Drive Thru History fan. When I heard that the first two volumes in the new Holy Land Series were released on DVD, I immediately knew I had to go shopping! :)
    Dave Stotts, the host of Drive Thru History again brings viewers into the world of fascinating history in Volume 1: Egypt to Qumran - Covenants, Kings, and the Promised Land; and in Volume 2: Jericho to Megiddo - Conquest, Canaanites, and the Holy City. Each volume contains three episodes for a total of 85-90 minutes.
    Typical of Dave Stotts, he brings history to life with his intriguing historical facts and well-done visual effects. And let's not forget his quirky humor! This time he drives through Israel in a Fiat, traveling the roads to the places of Jerusalem, Masada, Samaria, Shiloh, and Beersheeba, just to name a few.
    As I watched these movies, I had several "ah hah" moments, as I connected the words of the Bible with the places Dave visited. I was able to put a visual with the accounts in the Bible, including the place where David slayed Goliath and the place where Jesus met the Samaritan woman at the well. The archeological evidence is astounding! My favorite part was seeing the place where the Dead Sea Scrolls were found and then finding out a bit about the men who discovered the amazing scrolls while herding sheep.
    Perfect for families, homeschoolers, youth groups, and anyone who loves history, especially Biblical and ancient history, these newest volumes of Drive Thru History are a must have for any DVD library. There is nothing objectionable in either volume, although young children may not yet be interested. Also, the brief information about David slaying Goliath may scare very young viewers if they are not familiar with the account.
    I highly recommend these latest volumes in the Drive Thru History saga and have added it to my listing of mom-approved movies for families on my blog.

    I purchased this series as part of our homeschool history program. My two teen and one tween boy loved the series. It was fast paced, informative, and a great conversation starter. We've been to the Holy Land twice and we were still learning about places that we will want to visit next time.
    Each DVD is divided into three 30 minute segments so it's easy to watch a little bit each time. Overall, one of the best presentations of the Holy Land and its history we've experienced.

    Just when you think Dave Stotts can't possibly get any better, he comes again with another Drive Thru History and this series is no exception! Once again Dave Stotts packs this DVD full of Biblical History. One would think because it's history, this subject could be a bit mundane. However, Dave is a witty guy and he can keep the pace going to make it oh, so interesting. You won't realize all you're learning. This will hold your attention, keep you laughing and keep you wanting (if not begging) for more!

    This videos give you a brief review of biblical sites. I wish I saw this before going to Israel. I appreciate it very much for Dave to do such a wonderful work. Dave is very entertaining--a friend anyone likes to have.
