"Far too often we read these stories about people in an ancient land, and we're left feeling flat. 'What's this got to do with me?' We know in our hearts that what we're reading is true, right, and good, but we can't see any real way to apply it." John Ward and Jeff Pries claim their LIQUID DVD series (aimed at small groups) is the solution.
Containing 5 10-minute episodes and a booklet featuring scripture, questions, and leaders’ guide, each
DVD examines one biblical character or book. The DVDs I reviewed were
Fork in the Road (decisions & the life of David),
Crossing (the faith it takes to make crossings in life & Joshua),
Mirror Image (how things are sometimes the opposite of what we expect & the parables of Jesus), and
Live at Five (who people really are & the book of James). In the quest for relevance, the DVDs use an alternative approach; instead of depicting the actual biblical stories, they feature fictional families and fictional characters that could easily be any one of us today.
The storylines, acting, and teaching of
LIQUID (sometimes bordering cheesy) definitely aren’t the caliber of Rob Bell’s NOOMA DVD series; however,
LIQUID is in the mix when it comes to relating to students and is scripturally sound. Youth workers will find the ease of adaptability for use with small groups and large groups a plus.
