Mary Ann Collins
(A Former Catholic Nun)

November 2001

The Jesus video is beautifully done. It is well acted, in a spirit of making the Bible come alive, and helping people relate to Jesus more directly. The text of the dialogue comes from the Gospel of Luke. At the end of the video there is a presentation of the salvation message, with a prayer. This video has been translated into 700 languages. You can order it by phone from The Jesus Film Project (949-361-7575). Their web site is http://www.JesusFilm.Org

CATHOLICISM

James McCarthy, the founder of Good News for Catholics, has produced an excellent video entitled "Catholicism: Crisis of Faith". A friend of mine who is a missionary in Guatemala said that in one hour this video gave him a better understanding of Catholicism than an entire college course on the subject. This video is a valuable resource for people with Catholic friends and family members, for Catholics, and for former Catholics. I sometimes watch it myself. I love to see the former priests and former nuns on the video. They are precious people. It is available in English and Spanish from D&K Press (800-777-8839). A Polish version is available from Gober Multimedia (216-447-9067).

A German version is available in Munich, Germany. You can contact Uwe Brinkman. E-mail: bfc_muenchen@t-online.de. Phone: 011-49-89-184221. A Korean version is available from the Korea Video Mission Center (47 Sam John-Dong, Song Pa-Gu, Seoul, Korea). Phone 011-822-420-2992. Fax 011-822-420-2994. A list of international distributors is available on-line at http://www.gnfc.org/intl_distrib.html

James McCarthy has written an excellent book entitled "The Gospel According to Rome: Comparing Catholic Tradition and the Word of God". This covers foundational issues in a clear and compassionate manner. It is thoroughly documented and easy to read. This book will help people understand doctrinal issues, as well as Catholic experiences and perspective on life. It is available in English from D&K Press (800-777-8839). A Spanish version is available from Kregel Publications (616-451-4775).

On-line articles about Catholicism are available at the web site of Good News for Catholics at http://www.gnfc.org

You can print these articles to give to your friends. Their address is http://www.justforcatholics.org

APPARITIONS OF MARY

The video "Messages from Heaven" deals primarily with apparitions of Mary. It also deals with UFOs and appearances of angels. The producer is a former Catholic who has read hundreds of Catholic books about apparitions of Mary. This video is available in English and Spanish from D&K Press (800-777-8839).
