Torchlighters Review

The Torchlighters series (VisionVideo) has come out with a set of Heroes of the Faith dvds, including stories on Jim Eliot, Richard Wurmbrand, Eric Liddell, Gladys Aylward, John Bunyan, William Tyndale. We received these as a gift, a set of   6 dvds.
These videos are colorful and entertaining for children. They give a short story of these missionaries and other Christians serving the Lord with their lives, without going into gory details of their deaths, and giving the glory for their lives to the Lord Jesus Christ.  I believe these give children a "taste" of learning about these Heroes, that may spark their interest to learn more about them later. The videos include some scripture and the music is tastefully done in a way that is appealing to all ages. My personal favorite is the Eric Liddell Story. Do all for the glory of God.
