This is a fantastic DVD set (two discs) which focuses on the trials of Chinese Christians in China. Many of them share testimonies about being imprisoned for their faith, some for twenty years and more, of torture and being persecuted to forsake their faith. The DVD opens with the story of the Boxer Rebellion and how 236 western missionaries and 23,000 Chinese Christians were killed. And it features many who were straddling the fence in their beliefs until they saw the stand so many Christians took, and they converted as they realized there must be something to it if people were willing to go to jail and die for their faith.
Despite the efforts of a communist government, and one of its leaders, Mao Zedong, the faith continues stronger today in China than at any other time. The cross of Christ and seeds of blood and the bitter cup are among the topics of this vividly illustrated DVD. The DVD does include some photos of corpses of dead Christians, and an image of Christ on the cross, in addition to photos of subjects such as Christians being shackled for their faith. Due to these reason, the DVD set is recommended for ages twelve plus. However, many families will be fine with their children a bit under the age of twelve viewing this story of a persecuted yet triumphant people. We gladly award our Dove “Family-Approved” Seal to this DVD set.
