5.0 out of 5 stars Parental discretion advised, but an important lesson none the less., March 22, 2011

This review is from: Torchlighters: The Perpetua Story (DVD)

If you have sensative kids, watch it alone before you share it with them. To be honest, it is probably our responsibility to watch anything we purchase our kids before showing them. Especially when the content is teaching them about Christ.

With that being said, I believe that educating our children on the heros of the faith and the very real persecution that not only exists today, but is fastly growing all over the world, is extremely important. An average of 270 Christians die every day all over the world for their faith. More Christians exist now than in all of Christian history and many nations are making war on Christianity.

If all we share with our kids is a prosperity gospel, how are we preparing them for the realities of following Jesus? Even if they never encounter that kind of persecution, there are other kinds which are easier to endure when you know the body of Christ has endured far worse.

Pray, pre-watch it, and then know that it is a great film.

For you readers out there, you may even be interested in Amy Rachel Petersons's book, Perpetua.

4.0 out of 5 stars I have only one complaint, May 3, 2011

This was an excellent story! My one complaint is that it didn't specify that Perpetua WAS married, so it caused some confusion while watching it. That's why I took a star off. I see no reason not to buy it!

2.0 out of 5 stars Perpetua story not for kids, May 6, 2010

This video is about a significant story in Christian history, but its subject matter makes it unacceptable for children to view. In no way is it okay for kids to watch martyrs being mauled and killed by wild animals, even if their souls are wafted off to heaven in the next scene. What were the filmmakers thinking?
