I would highly recommend two videos that I recently bought. The first, produced by FARMS, was first shown at this year's Education Week. Entitled Journey of Faith the video follows the trek of Lehi's family from Jerusalem to the Promised Land, giving insight and detail into places they most likely visited and things that they probably had to deal with. It gives the viewer a greater understanding of what Lehi's family had to go through and what they gave up. This is sold at BYUBookstore.com


The second video is Joseph. Hosted by Susan Easton Black and other BYU faculty members, the video gives incredible stories about the life of Joseph Smith, his family backgrounds, things that he went through as a child that we don't hear about often, and just incredible stories that you don't find anywhere else. It is a two-disc set with three episodes on each disc. I believe you can by it at DeseretBook.com for somewhere between 20-25 dollars. The bicentennial celebration of the birth of Joseph Smith is almost here and the new movie produced by the Church will be released in just a few weeks. It would be good to have some background before going to see that new movie.
