The Fabulous 50s - Family Video.  DVD. 122 Minutes.
The 1950s brought comedy, politics, the Cold War, the Civil Rights Movement, and rock n' roll right into our living rooms through the new medium of television.

We saw Lucille Ball develop into a comedy legend, "Ike" become President, Elvis Presley and James Dean capture a generation of young Americans, and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. speak to the conscience of America.

   Television gave us classic satires from Sid Caesar and Steve Allen to a brash young interviewer named Mike Wallace. This program captures the unique personality of the 1950s–a decade that set the stage for the development, growth and change of the rest of the century.

    You will thrill to great 50s music from Nat "King" Cole, Liberace, Jerry Lee Lewis, Frank Sinatra, and Elvis Presley.

   Also, enjoy debuts by Frankie Avalon, Robert Wagner, the "Peanuts" Gang, and Jonathan Winters. You will hear from many of the great legends, including James Dean, Marilyn Monroe, Grace Kelly, Rocky Marciano, Bogart & Bacall, Elizabeth Taylor and Mike Todd.

Journey Toward Creation -  Family Video.  DVD.  100 Minutes.
Astronomers have spotted about 150 planets circling nearby stars since 1995, but not one is an Earth-like planet. When Carl Sagan, and other astronomers in the early 1960s, began to hypothesize about the potential for finding another planet like Earth.
     Excitement was high because the known parameters needed for life were very few-a small rocky planet located at a specific distance from a star of a particular mass. But in the last decade, greater precision in astronomers' abilities to measure the universe has yielded a staggering list of complex requirements needed to facilitate life on any planet.
    Embark on an amazing journey out in space and back in time to discover whether intelligent life can exist elsewhere. Explore the astronomical evidence for a universe that is meticulously fine-tuned for the benefit of human life.
    Dr. Hugh Ross, astronomer and author, whisks viewers through the solar system, past stars, galaxies and quasars-all the way back to the moment when light first sprang from darkness to the beginning of time.

Extra Feature:

Who is The Creator? - Dr. Hugh Ross explains why the universe is not an accident but a finely tuned system that reveals characteristics about its creator.

Flights of Courage -  Family Video.  DVD.  170 Minutes.
Volume #1: Flight's of Courage - The roaring 20s was a time when Americans craved excitement. It was also when the United States Postal Service embarked on a bold experiment that would change mail delivery forever.
    Answering the challenge was a group of young daredevils anxious to write the story of the newly created U.S. Air Mail Service in their own way. From 1918 to 1927 these daring pilots, some of them veterans of World War I aerial combat, overcame enormous odds.
   With no radios, no maps and using only primitive instruments, they risked their lives to carry the mail with unprecedented speed across the vast American continent. They were heroic, larger-than-life figures, famous for their death-defying feats and romantic adventures.
   From out of their ranks came a lanky twenty-five-year-old named Charles A. Lindbergh, who took off on May 1O, 1927, (from New York) in a single engine plane, landing in Paris thirty-three-and-a-half hours later to make the first non-stop flight across the Atlantic.
   In towns across America, wherever they refueled, the Air Mail Service pilots became hometown heroes. When they crashed or were lost, they were mourned like family. This, then, is their story. Shot in Super 16, Flights of Courage features stunning aerials of vintage biplanes over the breadth of America from the Eastern forests to the Rocky Mountains, as well as amazing archival footage and a glorious original score. This program is closed-captioned.

Volume #2: The Red Baron - Baron Manfred von Richthofen downed eighty Allied planes during the First World War, a record unequaled in the annals of military aviation.
    Rare film footage of his daring exploits and personal interviews with the last surviving pilots who flew with him and against him make this an especially compelling video portrait. Includes spectacular World War I dogfight footage and the first aerial photography of bombings.

Volume #3: The Lindbergh Story - His first solo trans-Atlantic flight in 1927 made history. Two-and-a-half years later the world was stunned by the kidnap and murder of his infant son.
   In 1936, Lindbergh foresaw Hitler's threat and warned America to arm itself. He flew fifty combat missions over the Pacific, wrote five books, and won a Pulitzer in 1954.

Disc #6: Human Life-Crown of Creation - "Numberless are the world's wonders, but none are more wonderful than man himself."
   So says the Greek philosopher, Sophocles. Truly, the crowning creation is humankind, with incomparable complexity of design, form, function, thought, and spirit. Watch the miracle of conception and birth, followed by magnificent provision found daily on our bodies.

The Story of Silent Night - Family Video.  DVD. 80 Minutes.

It is the most popular Christmas song ever written and has been translated into 120 different languages. And yet, Father Joseph Mohr, the man who wrote this beloved Christmas Carol in 1818, died in humble obscurity.
   This film dramatizes the life of Fr. Mohr - his fatherless upbringing, his tireless dedication to the people of his parish in Oberndorf, Austria, and the inspiration that moved him to pen this simple poem one late winter evening.

   A highlight of the program is performances of the carol in both German and English by the Vienna Boys Choir.
