Nooma

"The name NOOMA is an English phonetic spelling of the Greek
word pneuma, which is commonly translated to 'spirit' or 'breath'."

From Thursday - Sunday last week, I went to Eastbourne for "Youthwork the Conference". The first 24 hours were an optional extra for full-time youth workers, and the speaker was an American guy called Rob Bell, who is a pastor of a church in the US. He was so inspiring to hear - very fresh, and totally immersed in the culture of Biblical times, giving new insights to what it means to be a Christain in today's world - being relevant to those around us, not just quoting random bits of the Bible and expecting those who hear to understand.

Rob also releases short (aprox 12 min.) DVDs on different aspects of life as a Christian. They are very thought provoking. The DVD's are called 'Nooma' have a read about them here. The only downside is the cost - at ₤9.50 a DVD they don't come cheap. But definitely worth investing in one every-so-often. The 14th DVD is about to be released in the UK, and we were able to watch it the other day, and as per the others, it's just as thought provoking. Here's a clip from it: Breathe

Let us know your thoughts on the Nooma DVDs if you've seen them.
