The Acton Institute’s seven-part film series, For the Life of the World: Letters to the Exiles, was created for a wide-ranging Christian audience, whether Baptist or Catholic, Orthodox or Presbyterian. As Andy Crouch says in his review, “this series is marvelously catholic, in the small-c sense,” appealing across political and theological divides while still proclaiming a specific vision of creativity, beauty, and service in the Christian life.

But while the series is highly enjoyable for any viewer, it is particularly suited to more intimate explorations, whether in a college classroom or a church small group. Churches, colleges, discussion groups, and dinner parties have already been using it in this capacity. But now, in order to further empower such explorations, a special Leader’s Edition is now available.

Designed to equip leaders with tools and resources to navigate discussion and education around the themes of the series, the Leader’s Edition includes everything anyone would need to bring this resource to munity, whether to small-group discussions or even sermon bumpers or illustrations.

The Leader’s Editionincludes the following:

DVD and Blu-ray — All 7 episodes of the film series are included in both formats.Field Guide — panion Field Guide jump-starts group and individual investigation and includes additional content to enhance the film experience.Extras Disk — The extras disk includes many never-before-released digital resources including:Digital Field Guide broken down into 7 episodesOne-page discussion guides for each episodeDigital files to help church promote a church-wide campaign or a screening event on social media or produce mailers, post cards, banners, flyers, bulletin inserts, PowerPoint slides, and radio ponents — Each episode has 5-6 ponents (e.g. All Is Gift).
