Christian content streaming through Netflix
I recently was able to start using the New Xbox Experience (NXE) through their preview program. All Xbox 360 users get it on the 19th. The NXE completely revamps the Xbox 360 interface which had become overly complex when trying to navigate through the many items available for playing or watching. Additionally it adds avatar characters which gamers can customize and that will show up in certain games.
One of the biggest changes people have been looking forward to is the partnership Microsoft struck with Netflix which allows streaming of a portion of their catalog through the Xbox 360. (Streaming has previously been available to PCs, Macs and a set-top box)
I wanted to take this opportunity to recommend some Christian and other inspirational content I've found in their streaming catalog.
Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed - Ben Stein examines situations of scientists being discriminated against for expousing intelligent design. He ends up cornering a couple atheist scientists on where they think life came from. Directed Panspermia FTW!
One Night with the King - The story of Queen Esther and King Xerxes. Esther hides her Hebrew background to survive and ends up selected to be Xerxes' queen. Her humility and strength played a huge role in her selection. Though she knew she risked death she went to the king to ask him to save the Jews. The film is beautifully done and both actors do a great job.
Thr3e - The thriller from Ted Dekker brought to screen. The Riddle Killer, responsible for the death of police psychologist Jennifer Peters' brother, appears to be behind the attempted murder and stalking of seminary student Kevin Parson. Parson is given a deadline to confess a certain sin or die.
Hermie and Friends - Animated videos for kids. I haven't had a chance to watch these but I hear great things.
God's Outlaw: The Story of William Tyndale - Known as the "Father of the English Bible," Tyndale worked tirelessly to translate and publish an English Bible during an era when prayers uttered in English were outlawed.
Remember, both Netflix and Blockbuster have gigantic DVD mail rental catalogs but Netflix's internet streaming catalog is much smaller. This is some of the best I've found to stream from Netflix but there is more.
