William Carey--now known as the father of modern missions--his example proved missions work was possible; his zeal convinced people missions work was essential; and generations of missionarires followed in his footsteps. Shoemaker, botanist, translator, preacher, factory manager--William Carey was all those things and more. Most importantly, he awas a faithful witness to the gospel of Jesus Christ amidst a life of personal grief, professional ridicule, and international strife. This is a special movie companion edition to Candle in the Dark written by Dr. Timothy George.

Have you ever heard someone choose the 'lesser of two evils' when making a particularly tough decision? The origin of this common saying might surprise you as being from Christian writer Thomas a Kempis in the early 15th century. Kempis was encouraging believers to endure whatever trials may come their way in the name of faith, for the alternative would be eternal separation from God--an evil to be avoided at all costs!  In Context by Ken Curtis and Dan Graves uses winsome storytelling to illuminate the circumstances surrounding 70 memorable and inspirational sayings such as 'Here I stand, I can do no other' and 'The heart has its reasons, which reason does not know.'  From Mary, the mother of Jesus, to Alexander Solzhenitsyn, the authors comb the centuries to provide well-researched, thoughtful accounts of faith-inspired sayings.
