Joseph

Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat
$19.98
This is one of the classic performances. A little over the top with costumes but the music and singing is tops. An unusual set up for the venue but it works.

Joseph
$13.38
The illustrations in this book are what really set it apart. The story line is good, but the pictures are gorgeous. While studying both Old Testament and Ancient Egypt, this book is a valuable resource. It's always so great to find a book that the kids enjoy because it doesn't feel like school work while teaching at the same time. This book is valuable for art discussions as well. Definitely a good investment. We own Exodus as well and I recommend both books highly.

The Bible Collection
$59.98
Product came when expected. Quality is good. Story is not in chronological order as told in bible but one can learn much from it anyway.

Joseph of Nazareth: The Story of the Man Closest to Christ
$24.95
I don't know what the agenda of the previous reviewer might be but this film has received good reviews from two very Catholic sources that I trust completely. One is Steven Greydanus, the film reviewer for the National Catholic Register. If you need a truly Catholic weekly newspaper, the Register is the one (please do not confuse it with the National Catholic Reporter which is not a good source for authentically Catholic information). The other is Carl Olson. Carl is a formerly anti-Catholic convert who is now a decidedly Catholic author and speaker. He runs Ignatius Insight, the Ignatius Press blog. For my money you can't go wrong with a recommendation from either of these men. The following are quotes from them regarding this film:

"Tobias Moretti is appealing and manly as the foster father of Jesus, and Stefania Rivi makes a fine Virgin Mary... Joseph and Mary's relationship is well handled, and the film follows Catholic tradition in depicting Jesus' "brethren" as the nephews of Joseph. The Annunciation scene is well done."
-- Steven Greydanus, National Catholic Register

"The movie captures well the humanity of a man who had to grapple with the great mysteries of the Incarnation, the divine conception of Jesus, and the Virgin Birth. Joseph of Nazareth is quite good. The lead performance by Tobias Moretti, a highly acclaimed European actor, is excellent. The movie makers demonstrate a very good grasp of the historical context and details. I think this is a fine movie for the entire family--Catholic, Protestant, and otherwise--wishing to appreciate more deeply the humanity and holiness of St. Joseph, the "Man Closest to Christ." And, if I might say so, the accompanying booklet is filled with a lot of helpful and fascinating information (about St. Joseph)."
