Jericho The Promise Fulfilled

WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW! What an amazing gem I found one day while trying to find videos on Jericho for my 2nd grade students. I happened upon the trailer for this video on Godtube and wondered if it was a real movie. As I searched, I saw that it was and couldn't wait to purchase it for my students. I wish you could have seen their faces and how they ran to hug me when I revealed it today! PRICELESS! It was like Christmas morning! We only had time to see a little today and they are SMITTEN! I am SMITTEN! THIS IS AMAZING, SO COOL! Two students were absent today so we are just too excited to watch it from the beginning tomorrow for them! This has instantly become a permanent fixture in my classroom curriculum and the children can't wait to tell their parents about it too!My school is part of a large church, so I will undoubtedly be sharing it with the youth and children's ministers as well! THANKS SO MUCH!!!!!!! Read more

Very creative and definitely entertaining Read more

When one of my Sunday school fifth graders brought this in to class I was a little skeptical that it would be worth watching. I let them watch it and was tremendously surprised at how creative and entertaining it turned out to be. I laughed so hard that I knew I had to buy a copy so my husband and teenager could watch it too. It was just as funny the second time. Seriously, this movie is hilarious and the dialog is so clever! I hope they do more of these soon! Read more

What a great video. My children love the Lego Movie but I wanted a video with Christian values, this is excellent alternative. It captures the attention of my children and we enjoy the humor and story line. Watching the "extras" was very neat. It showed how they made the movie, talked about God, made me want to go buy the other two videos this family put out. Purchase and support them, worth every penny. I hope for more!!! Read more

I purchased this for my 5yo nephew for Christmas since he is just getting into Legos. He missed the cut off for kindergarten, but is already reading and doing other things above his age. He has always had a great attention span. He seemed a bit confused by the way the movie started. There wasn't any background information to set the scene. He didn't understand what was going on with Rahab and why. I had to stop the CD several times to explain what was happening. He definitely liked the part where the Israelites marched around Jericho 7 times. At the end he said he thought the movie was "long" which surprised me since he does have a great attention span. I guess it was because he didn't fully understand the story. I think after he watches the DVD several times with mom and dad to help explain it, he will understand the story and like it much better. The only part that I thought was confusing was adding the reporters into the biblical scene to report on what was happening. It was an unnecessary and confusing anachronism that was in no way seamlessly blended into the story. I'm sure it was used as a way to try to explain things a bit more, but a biblical narrator may have worked better. I am still very glad that I purchased this DVD and would definitely purchase another one from this company in the future to add to my nephew's collection. Read more

Our whole family enjoyed this movie. It is very well done and inspired my boys to try making their own movies with Legos. It's nice to see Bible stories come to life with Lego bricks too because its something most kids do with their free time. Reminded me of warching Veggie Tales where historical truth is mixed with humor and creative license. I will definitely buy other movies from this company. Read more

This is a great version of the Bible story about how the walls of Jericho came down by supernatural provision. We loved it, and it is a great thing to share with the neighbor children and others. It is faith strengthening, and most of all we know this story is true- which makes it extra special! Thanks to the man who made this! Read more

I find it very concerning that none of the reviews I found on this movie mentioned the erroneous parts that are clearly not biblical. I was very excited to find a movie with Lego figures that would continue to show my son what the Bible says and also that movies don't have to include filth to be good. Parts which are not biblical: * Movie: The spies who were sent to Jericho were named. Bible: The spies are not named. * Movie: The spy, whom the movie calls Steve, says he has been a big fan of Joshua's ever since Joshua "parted the Red Sea, beat the Golden Goat, and ordered manna from Heaven". Bible: Moses parted the Red Sea, Moses destroyed the golden `calf' which Aaron instructed the Israelites to make, and no one `ordered' manna, but rather God heard the complaints and told Moses that they were to eat quail in the evening and manna in the morning. * Movie: Suggests one of the spies likes Rahab and after the defeat of Jericho it is suggested that the spy and Rahab get married when Joshua tells the spy "she is a good woman" and for him to "take good care of her". Bible: The Bible simply states Rahab and her father's family lived in Israel after the defeat of Jericho. The fact that there were computers, water dispensers, cameras, and a news media were all things that I felt fell into the creative license of movie making. These are no different then the whole movie being made with Legos. Read more
