Ted and Lee artistically have interpreted the Old Testament narrative and the Gospel in these two DVDs in a quirky yet, thoughtful way.
With strong performances, their journey through the Old Testament in Creation Chronicles is a brilliant trip through the highlights, retelling the stories of creation, the flood, Jonah and more.
Fish Eyes, on the other hand, takes the viewer through the Gospel in hilarious and thought-provoking ways. While I love both, of the two, I enjoyed Fish Eyes more; but both are worth the cover price.
They’re each divided conveniently into 14 chapters that can be used as stand-alone video clips, or they can be watched in one sitting. While each DVD comes with a study guide, it’s not much more than a breakdown of the scriptures referenced in each video chapter and one or two discussion questions. While I would have liked to have seen a stronger guide, I’ll definitely be using these videos in the years to come.
