Product Description
The Vital Prescription: Courage + Comfort = Hope Ken Curtis explores coping with advanced cancer from personal experience based on the inspiration of the 23rd Psalm Over 3,000 years ago, Israel's King David -- the same one who slew the giant Goliath -- wrote what has become the most popular song in the entire history of the world. It is known as the 23rd Psalm. Its words have brought more comfort and courage to more people at more times at more places than any other words every written. When you combine its comfort and courage, then hope is generated. And hope is one of the most essential and valuable resources to help anyone suffering from cancer or from any major illness or setback in life. Ken Curtis was diagnosed with advanced cancer with little prospect for survival. He pursued a combination of traditional and alternative medicine, undergirded by a strong spiritual dimension and prayer support team. Psalm 23 was a vital part of his spiritual component, and for this video Curtis went to Israel, home of David and the Psalm, to be with the shepherds, travel "through the valley of the shadow of death," and explore and enjoy the healing powers of the green pastures and still waters. The resulting meditations provide a combination of candid personal experience of what it means to battle cancer and some of the spiritual resources available through this time-honored Psalm. Ken Curtis. Ph.D, is founder and president of Gateway Films/Vision and Christian History Institute.

5.0 out of 5 stars great DVD for anyone, April 21, 2007

By	Brian (NJ/NY) - See all my reviews

I rented this movie, although I do not have cancer. All I have to says is WOW, this really inspired me. The speaker is very a very wise and nice man. He also has cancer, but God really uses him through this DVD. My request to you Mr. Director, is to make a DVD like this for all the Psalms. Wonderful work, everyone should not hesitate to get this movie. It is full of dialog, not just scenery. But if scenery is your thing, it has that too, of the Holy Land. My only suggestion is to make it more clear that Jesus is the Only way to salvation. Although they do say it in the film, but not directly. Ill never look at Psalm 23 the same. So much insight on a small part of the Bible.

cons: the only con I would say is they didnt really stress enough that Jesus said you MUST be born-again to get into heaven. The only way to get into heaven is to not trust in anything but Jesus for your salvation. Esp. if someone has cancer, you should be more concerned about their salvation. It is more loving to be direct with people, then just telling them some nice quotes.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but not quite was I was hoping for, June 25, 2009

By	S. Murphy (Tri Cities, WA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

It was what it says, a reflection of Psalm 23. And it was good, with some beautiful scenery. The author did a great job in sharing this psalm from his place of knowing cancer personally. I was hoping there would be something more about Jesus as the only basis for properly relating to God.

I do intend to pass it on to an aquaintance with cancer.
