Review of The Pastor's DVD (Digital Vitality Disc) Volume 10

The Pastor's DVD (Digital Vitality Disc) series is a very cool, up to date, and helpful resource for the Pastor or leader of the modern congregation. I have a personal collection of all of the volumes and have used the contents of each of them on multiple occaisions. There are award winning videos, Conversation starters, Training videos, and endless other helpful contents to assist the Pastor to lead and feed the modern congregation with updated technology and superior quality. I have emplemented many of the videos into my own personal evangelistic efforts which was very nice and the audience really enjoyed it. A short video adds a bit of pizaz to start of a sermon, it makes a really great opening illustration. Each Volume contains a variety of selections to help with your worship service. I give the whole series my highest approval and am very happy to have them as a resource. Whether I use a simple background for powerpoints off of one of the volumes, or show my youth group a video that really gets their attention, I find that I am always putting the discs to use.

Review of Christian Virtual Hymnal Personal Edition

It matches the hymnal we are using on the Marine Base, The Hymnal for Worship and Celebration.The problem is that it produces a midi file that would be fine for a computer useage but does not work well with the mp3 files that you need to burn a CD and play it.I have not found a decent converter for the midi files to mp3.Don't use MIDI Converter 4.0.There is no support or help nor does it function without it.


Product Description
If your church uses the Celebration Hymnal, the Hymnal for Worship and Celebration, the 1991 Baptist Hymnal, the Lutheran Book of Worship, With One Voice, the 1989 United Methodist Hymnal or the 1990 Presbyterian Hymnal, the Christian Virtual Hymnal is something you need to have. It contains almost all the public domain songs in these collections and will save you many hundreds of hours and provide unprecedented flexibility in creating transposable sheet music with optional chord names/fret diagrams, transposable chord charts and MIDI files for playing. With around 220 public domain selections from the above-listed hymnals are included ready for use. Transpose to any key. Reorder and/or delete any verses. Display SATB, lead sheets or chord charts (verses only - no music - with chord names and fret diagrams). Music and verses are the same as in the respective hymnals so no editing is generally required for congregations using these hymnals. No need to worry about copyrights as all hymns and arrangements are public domain. Use the Christian Virtual Hymnal (either by itself or in conjunction with a sequencing program) in place of an organist. Quickly print out just hymn verses for weekly bulletins or transpose hymns for the choir. This is the "personal" version of the software and as such has fewer hymns.

Review of Early Church Fathers Catholic Edition [CD] (CD-ROM)

. . .to any product that can make the writings of the Church Fathers more readily accessible.

But this edition doesn't get more than three!This is an electronic edition of "The Early Church Fathers" 38 volume set, edited by Philip Schaff, currently in re-print by a number of vendors.It's entitled "Protestant Edition" because it retains the vast number of notes and essays, penned mostly by 19th century Protestant scholars with serious anti-Catholic issues.So it loses one star here.The set loses a second star because it is quite dated.In the last 100 years, better, more scholarly translations have been published -- a fact recognized by Protestant and Catholic scholars alike.

NEVERTHELESS, this is a set well worth acquiring; and the electronic search features make research much less time consuming.

Review of Quickverse 2007 Bible Study

I did not think the product was advertised honestly....I did not know that it contained very little of the items that were shown, and the rest had to be added/bought to make the product useful to me...I returned it, and received a full refund. I have used other QV products for years and have been delighted with their performance and features..Slightly disappointed with this one...

Thanks
