Ed's Story - It Ain't Over

This is a series we did a little while back. The videos are very well made and the story is even better. 

Ed's story is a film series about hope in the midst of suffering, featuring Ed Dobson. 

Diagnosed with ALS and given a short time to live, Ed wrestles with issues suffering raises: worry, identity, forgiveness, gratitude, and healing. Emerging from it all is his discovery that there is always hope.

I believe you can either download the videos for free or for really cheap. 

It's good stuff. I will post the five discussion guides we created for this series (the last two films are yet to be released). Enjoy!
