'Opening Isaiah," new on DVD from Ann Madsen

In this remarkable DVD shot on location in the Holy Land, beloved
LDS scholar and educator Ann Madsen uses the land itself to
introduce us to the images and poetry of Isaiah like few others
could.  The cinematography is often breathtaking and the
computer-generated visit to Solomon's temple and the description
of Isaiah's call to prophesy are worth having all by
themselves.

Her decades of teaching the subject at BYU and in Jerusalem have
prepared Ann Madsen in a rare way to start us on our own journey
into Isaiah knowing what to look for to discover for ourselves
why Christ himself said, "Great are the words of Isaiah." 
Indeed, it is Christ himself and his atonement we will find
revealed in powerful ways in the words of this prophet among
prophets.

That's this week on The Cricket and Seagull.
