See more Review: Great video - Love watching this video Review: The Christian Traveller - Good production and presentation of six disc set of Christian topics, ranging from the Holy Land, to as diverse as St. Paul and Helena's first pilgrimage. Strongly recommended for all Christians and non Christians, who want an insight into Christianity. Video scenes were well documented and commentaries easy to follow. The only criticism I have, is that there were many short clippings where they should be elaborated. For instance, the disc on the Holy Land, was too short and many more sacred sites were not included. Overall, this set is well worth buying and very educational.
