Living Scriptures Will Help

By Yvonne Brixey


It can be quite scary to grow up especially when we are unsure of the world. However, there are still ways to express uplifting and beneficial lessons in a simple and enjoyable way to strengthen us. Living Scriptures are one possible way to teach people morals and outcomes of choices. I sometimes have a hard time understanding scriptures myself, so media that simplifies the ideas taught in the scripture helps me to comprehend them. Living Scriptures company's motto is 'Teaching Values and Changing Lives.'

At Deseret Book there are not only books written by LDS authors, but there are several media products for understanding and simplifying the scriptures. Several of the following media productions were created with help from Orson Scott Card (author) and Kurt Bestor (composer). These educational Living Scriptures DVDs and CDs of animated stories, such as Bible story videos, the Hero classics, church docudramas, and stories of modern prophets, are very educational. The Living Scriptures company not only produces stories from books of scripture contained within the Old Testament, the New Testament, The Book of Mormon, but of modern prophets (LDS) and stories of classic heroes like George Washington and Abraham Lincoln.

Living Scriptures animated bible stories range from Abraham and Issac to David and Goliath to parables of Christ. Samuel was a prophet of the Lord who served the Lord as a boy and eventually guided the Israelites. Daniel prayed even when forbidden and the mouths of lions were shut. Ruth stays on with her mother-in-law in Israel, a mighty example of courage away from her father's people and faith. Christ often taught in parables to teach lessons; these lessons include the stories of the talents, the good Samaritan and the prodigal son. In the Book of Mormon stories they start with Nephi and end with Moroni. These stories have themes of travel, missionaries, danger, adventure, bravery and honor.

The hero classics are about brave and influential people in history. Some of these hero classics are around the time of early American history and focus on people like George Washington, William Bradford (a pilgrim), and Pocahontas. Other hero classics stories are about Louis Pasteur, a French scientist who searched for a rabies vaccine, and Florence Nightingale, an English woman who started a change in nursing of the wounded and sick. Older living scriptures hero classics are about people like Helen Keller Beethoven and Galileo.

The Living Scriptures company also have non-animated videos of their church docudramas and of LDS modern prophets. The church docudramas are videos about the history of Latter-Day-Saints of the Church of Jesus Christ Pioneers. The Trek West, the Handcart Pioneers, and Kirtland: The Spirit of God are some of the titles of movies in the church docudramas for the Latter-Day-Saints of the Church of Jesus Christ. There are movies on the modern prophets from Joseph Smith to Gorden B. Hinckley. Visit Israel with Dr. W. Cleon Skousen, who takes the audience on an adventure to see where things happened in the Old Testament and the New Testament. Modern day prophets who served the Latter-Day-Saint people and Heavenly Father are brought back into remembrance through tales of their lives.

Living scriptures offer not only the many DVD series afore mentioned, but CDs of stories in Church history, the Old Testament, the New Testament, the Book of Mormon, American history, LDS women, and Family stories. They also offer activity books and collections of songs that they have written for their movies. Living Scriptures Will Help
