We feel they have been inspired by the Lord. The background music is very moving & appropriate. We highly recommend these DVDs to anyone who wants good quality DVDs.

Consequently I am well aware of the void that has existed in the field of quality teaching DVD's for children. After recently viewing your animated DVD, "Treasures in Heaven", I must say there is renewed hope within me in this field. This film is excellent. I am grateful for your handling of the Scriptures in such a careful manner. After several viewing's with my colleagues I am pleased to say, we found no area's in which we would disagree from a theological position. I have tried to view the film through the eye's of my brethren from different faiths and I feel this is the caliber of film that will receive a wide base of acceptance. I have now previewed several different DVDs from your company and I am thrilled that each in their own way convey the message of Jesus Christ in such a manner that children will readily understand the Gospel messages presented. I heartily agree with your plans to develop additional animated DVDs centered around the principles contained in the Word of God. The time is right and the market is ready. May God bless your efforts with much success. P.S. As a first time Grandfather I am comfortable in sharing these films with my granddaughter, and that my friend is a real testimonial, thanks.

Jesus calls us to embrace an abundant life with eternal treasures that far surpass the riches of this world. In this award-winning, animated DVD, children will see and understand the contrast between two men who seek to follow Jesus Christ. The young, rich man asks how to gain eternal life but then leaves saddened because he won’t forsake worldly wealth; on the other hand, Zacchaeus the Publican gives half of his wealth to the poor and restores four-fold anything wrongly taken in order to follow Jesus and to receive salvation.
Unfortunately, not everyone heeds Jesus' commands. Many, like the young, rich man, are tempted and sidetracked by what the world offers. However, those who take after the Publican and follow Jesus will find themselves richly blessed in Heaven.

Zacchaeus is the Chief Publican of Jericho, who gains great wealth by cheating others. His young son has heard of Jesus and wants to go see Him. But Zacchaeus will not give up the opportunity to make money just to listen to a mere “rabbi.”

In the countryside, a wealthy young man finds Jesus preaching. When he asks Jesus what he must do to  inherit eternal life, Jesus tells him to obey the         commandments, to sell all he has and give to the poor. The rich man, unable to part with his gold, turns away.
When a man named Bartimaeus is arrested, he asks Zacchaeus to let him hear Jesus before being thrown in prison. Zacchaeus is troubled by the intensity of     Bartimaeus’ faith and sets him free. Zacchaeus then witnesses the miraculous healing of Bartimaeus by Jesus.  Zacchaeus struggles to come to terms with his     awakening faith. The things of the world have been     replaced with a longing in his heart, and he prays that Jesus will heal him because he feels he isn’t worthy.

Jesus, however, tells him that He came to this world not only for those who are righteous, but also to seek and save the lost.  Zacchaeus decides he will give half of his wealth to the poor, and repay those he has cheated. Jesus tells him that because of that decision, salvation will come to him.

Background:
Jesus calls us to an exciting life with heavenly treasures far surpassing the riches the world offers. This call extended to everyone, even the despised Publican. Unfortunately, not everyone heeds Jesus’ summons. Many, like this wealthy young man, are tempted and sidetracked by the world. However, those who take after the Publican and follow Jesus will find themselves richly blessed in Heaven.
