Tom decides to embark on the historical pilgrimage to honor his son's desire to finish the journey, unprepared for the profound impact the journey will have on him. He meets other pilgrims from around the world with their own issues and looking for greater meaning in their lives. From the unexpected, moving and amusing experiences along "The Way," and especially when he reaches the pilgrim's destination, the beautiful Shrine of St. James the Apostle, Tom learns what it means to be fully human again.

The Testament of Mother Teresa
This rare interview captures on film one of the most beloved women of our time, and has never been available before on DVD. Although there are many biographies on her, the world actually knows very little about Mother Teresa. Apart from a few published speeches and selected prayers, she has not bequeathed any writings. Director Marcel Bauer had to wait many years before the Mother reluctantly gave him permission for an interview. This program is the film record of that historic interview, filmed just months before Mother Teresa's death, which contains her thoughts and views on many important subjects.

The Intelligent Design Collection
In 1999, Illustra Media began a project that would span more than nine years, four continents, and thousands of hours of research, writing, editing, computer animation, and location photography. The objective was to create a documentary trilogy that would present the scientific case for intelligent design. These critically-acclaimed documentaries were broadcast on PBS and translated into more than 20 languages. They have inspired and educated millions and fueled an international debate on the origin of life. Now, on the 200th anniversary of Charles Darwin's birth, Illustra Media is thrilled to announce the completion of the Intelligent Design Trilogy.

The Rights of Man and The Natural Law

Great Expectations
Ignatius Critical Editions
Charles Dickens
Pope John Paul II described Dickens' books as "filled with love for the poor and a sense of social regeneration . . . warm with imagination and humanity". Such true charity permeates Dickens' novels and ultimately drives the characters either to choose regeneration or risk disintegration. In Great Expectations, Pip—symbolic of the pilgrim convert—gains both improved fortunes and a growth in wisdom, but as he acquires the latter, he must relinquish the former—ending with a wealth of profound goodness, not of worldly goods. Also available in Paperback.
