Once again we added some great DVDs to our TOG studies. 

Faith Lessons on the Prophets and Kings of Israel was wonderful.  Ray Vander Laan helps those of us in the Western World understand the Eastern World in light of God's Word.

Drive Thru History: Greece is quite a different speed from Ray Vander Laan DVD's.  LOL  Yet, once again, ancient history is lined up with God's Word.

The 300 Spartans  was wonderful.  Be careful! I do not recommend the newer version which was crude.  This is the 1962 version which brought to life all the things we had read.  We were rooting for the Spartans at the end!  This is the true story of the Battle of Thermopolae with a romance woven in.

Alexander the Great  with Richard Burton was another great movie that brought our TOG studies to life!  However, when I saw Alexander with his snazzy helmet, I thought, "Oh dear!  DS will want to change his costume and there's no time!"  DS had just finished his costume and the unit celebration was going to be in 2 days.  This helmet had windows.  Alexander could leave his helmet on and open the window to see everyone, then close it when it was time to go into battle.  Although ds thought that was really cool, he knew he wouldn't have time to add that touch.  Whew! Also the spears of the Macedonians were incredibly long.  Once again I was thinking, "Oh dear! DS will want that!"  Again he was impressed, but he was content to merely be a Greek hoplite!  His spear was long enough! Whew!
