Thanks for putting this in a bundle. (Posted on 23/06/10)

It is so refreshing to find a course of this type that teaches a Bible book - Mark's Gospel - and seeks simply to explain about Jesus. The DVD's, booklets and associated materials are forthright but also presented with compassion. It has been easy to adapt the course to a small group, personalised presentation and I plan to use it again and again. (Posted on 16/06/10)

The material is first class however we are only introducing it this evening so will know later how many will respond to start on the course in June. (Posted on 27/05/10)

This product was well marketed, attractively packaged and user friendly However there is far too much negative emphasis - giving the impression that the reason we should believe in Christ is because we are afraid of death and God's judgment. It does not reflect the sense of urgency in Mark's gospel - the use of phrases like "and immediately" It also fails to point out that Jesus giving his life "as a ransom for many" is not an indication of selectivity, but actually a quote from Isaiah. In fact the narrowness of the thrust of this material is its greatest failing - which is a pity because it has the potential to achieve far more than it is going to with the group I lead. I would not use this material for people who are new to their faith, and I have had to spend a little time correcting some major defects and the odd glaring error. (Posted on 26/05/10)

This mix of DVD and attractive guidebook help the learner understand in an engaging and challenging way who Jesus was and why he came. The journey through Mark's Gospel enables a focus on Jesus, not church or religion. The DVD provides a weekly 20min feature which is attractively presented by Rico Tice, from All Souls Langham Place London, in a challenging and cringe-free way that acts as a great discussion starter. Use it with both those at the start of their faith journey, and those who have yet to set their feet on towards Jesus. (Posted on 18/02/10)

We've really enjoyed the course, each presentation is attractive, clear, winsome, faithful, engaging and well judged. The supporting materials are well written and easy to use. The amount of 'home study' is about right. It's great to work all the way through Mark's gospel, as well as to focus on key areas for Christian living. We'll certainly be looking for the earliest opportunity to find other people to take through this material (Posted on 10/02/10)

This course is clear and simple, and all you need is contained in the course materials.

I've done CE in a variety of ways from doing talks myself in a larger group situation with PowerPoint, to DVDs in the home with one or two people at a time. Whatever the context I find it clear, compelling and powerful.

I'll never forget the time I used it one on one with a fellow in his fifties, and as the "What is grace" video finished, he turned to me with tears in his eyes and said, "I never knew he had done so much for me."

I use it for enquirers and for confirmation preparation, and everyone I have used it with has been very appreciative and has moved forward in their faith. Have they all "prayed the prayer" or "made a commitment"? Well, I don't press for that, but I know that they have been started off, or helped to restart, in their Christian life, and I've not found a better way of getting that process under way than this course.

Recently our church began searching for a tool for thoughtful evangelism. We decided on Christianity Explored because of its faithfulness to the gospel message and its ability to create a comfortable context where sincere questions can be asked. We are excited about the possibility Christianity Explored will give to many who are wanting to think their way clear about making a commitment to Christ. (Posted on 24/11/09)

I have been impressed by the thoroughness of this material. The logic of running through a Gospel (Mark) is very useful for providing a sense of continuity of the story of Jesus to a new person.
Rico Tice's location-based DVDs are beautifully presented in a particularly sensitive and reasonable manner – in short, they are a joy to watch.
The written material is accessible with well chosen questions, backed up by informative Leader's books.
An excellent course, suitable for use in church, cafe or pub.
The only concern I have with this course is that it moves rather quickly into 'Jesus material' (Week 1 - "Who is Jesus?"). For people who are far away from knowing anything about any religion, the 20-minute Introduction of the first week is a helpful step, but not enough. However, new courses are coming out which can be used prior to C.E. so these should be seriously considered too. (Posted on 27/03/09)

Christianity Explored is a fantastic resource for Christians wanting to reach out to those around them. Its constructed very carefully, each session being gospel-centred but informal in the way it looks at the person of Jesus. Its easy to run, a great way of showing non-Christians exactly what it is that Christianity's about - just a great resource for evangelism in general. Can't recommend this course highly enough (Posted on 5/12/08)
