My thoughts changed when we arrived home.

Trying to open the packaging on the DVD was a challenge, to put it mildly.

"I hope I can get this open this century," I silently fumed as the packaging defied my efforts to get it open.
Finally with the aid of an extremely sharp knife and extra elbow grease I was in!
When the DVD loaded, I was a bit puzzled as to what to do. Usually, movie menus are self-explanatory - Play, Scene Selection, Special Features.

Max Lucado's Stories of Hope 3:16 - My Opinion
In this DVD, Max Lucado shares personal glimpses that illustrate the Love God has for us in John 3:16. Rather than Stories of Hope, I would rename this DVD Stories of Love. The stories are related in a down to earth easy going atmosphere of ordinary daily settings: a coffee shop, back porch, by a farm field. The style makes it possible to envision yourself sharing this good news with others in a similar setting. The photography and titles on the scenes is quite unique and must be seen to be appreciated.The personal glimpses drew on my heart strings with a gamut of emotions - from laughter when Max quips" By now you must be thinking I have the IQ of a screwdriver", to the touching remembrance of his Uncle Billie's end of life reassurance of God's Love.
Each chapter in Max Lucado's Stories of Hope is brief enough to watch the entire DVD in one sitting, as I did. However, the format also lends itself well to a continuing Bible study - each chapter being rich with points to ponder and further explore. I believe that like me, you to will want to go back through the DVD and take more time to explore each of the chapters as it relates to your life.
For me, the tone lends itself more to an evening Bible study, as the music is quite somber.

Am I glad I persisted in wrenching the DVD from its ornery packaging?YES!
So, if you get a Max Lucado 3:16 Stories of Hope DVD with ornery packaging, persist! You will be glad you did.
