A new animated DVD series produced by “Touched by an Angel” star Roma Downey will educate preschoolers on basic learning skills and biblical truths when it debuts next Tuesday.

Titled "Little Angels," the show follows the adventures of preschool twins Alex and Zoe as they learn, laugh and play. Accompanying them is a gang of eight cartoon guardian angels that guide and teach the precocious pair about life and God's love.

Its executive producer is Roma Downey, a Hollywood actress who knows a thing or two about God's celestial servants. She played the lead role in the hit CBS TV drama "Touched by an Angel," which ran from 1994 to 2003. The TV show followed an angel, played by Downey, as she served the Lord's will on Earth. Now a mother of three teenagers, Downey said she wants to share the faith beliefs she holds dear to families younger than her own. more >>

An army of pro-life evangelists on Facebook has helped push a 33-minute anti-abortion video to one million views, said the social media manager for Living Waters, the ministry that produced the film.

The dramatic film “180,” which was released less than a month ago, catches the responses of young adults to a series of questions by evangelist Ray Comfort in which he begins by asking whether they know who Adolf Hitler is and the fact that he sanctioned the killing of 11 million people.

While interviewing those with a pro-abortion stance, Comfort transitions from talk about lives lost in the Holocaust to lives lost as the result of abortions in the United States. Comfort recently said he was sickened by the answers so many young people gave to a hypothetical question he asked them after describing a life and death, Holocaust-like scenario. more >>
