Star of Bethlehem Documentary

It was a few years back when we were first introduced to the movie, "The Star of Bethlehem". This wonderful documentary film shares the true life story of an attorney who got serious about his search for the star mentioned in the Bible that led the Magi to Jesus's  home. There are many misconceptions about the Christmas story, and this film deals with a few of them.

The best part in my estimation of this film is how this man took seriously the prophecies of God's Word, and piecing them together with the history of the day, found what he believes is the star that has come to be known throughout the world as "The Star of Bethlehem". You can buy this video on our Resources page or using the linked DVD cover photo below. I hope you find this movie interesting, but more than anything that it draws you to consider the awesome wonder that is God's creation.
