BeckyBoo Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 ....has anyone been watching this? I haven't caught them all (sorry if there's already a thread on this, I've missed it if there is ) but WOW what a programme! I'd pay my licence fee just for this. I'm not religious, well, I don't think there's a name for what I believe, but Peter Owen Jones is just amazing, and he really manages to convey the essence of the spirituality in EVERY faith he explores. He's like a HFW of the religious world! Stunning locations, amazing people, incredible rituals and beliefs I've checked the website but I can't see if they're releasing it on DVD or anything, I really hope they are, I think I will have to put it on my birthday list if they do!

Redwing Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Yes, it is very good isn't it? When a presenter really gets in to their subject matter it makes for really good TV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 I've missed a few, but the ones I've seen have been really informative and fascinating. He presents things in a very balanced and unjudgemental way doesn't he? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeckyBoo Posted February 7, 2009 Author Share Posted February 7, 2009 I think he's great, better than HFW dare I say it, I mean I know it's completely different disciplines, but he appeals more, doesn't seem to have become so "commercialised" as HFW. He seems to love ALL religion and humanity so very much. I thought he was very inspiring. Can I just say that I started looking for the DVD series and it seems it's not out, yet. But he's written quite a few books, so I thought I'd have a look on Amazon. The one I was particularly interested in is called, Bed of Nails, but it's out of print, I thought I'd found a copy and was about to order it when I saw it cost £136!!! Needless to say I went to the library today and reserved it (got a long wait, there's two in front of me ) mind you, if it's that good I'll photocopy all the pages!

craftyhunnypie Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 I bet this program is better than any schools R.E lessons! I hated them with not being religious at all - but I'd like to see this program as fascinated by different bliefs & rituals. I think Buddhism is a religion I could follow as it is more about believing in yourself & you can still drink. Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
