Review: Eden String Quartet
Brand-new from Franklin Springs Family Media is this delightful film of family harmony, The Eden String Quartet: A Bountiful Blessing. We watched it last night as a family and not only did we thoroughly enjoy it, but we all agreed it was our favorite from Franklin Springs so far.
Filled with beautiful music, sisterly love, and a testimony of virtuous womanhood, we highly recommend this DVD to your family. Whether you are music aficienados or not, you will be blessed by viewing it.
I was especially encouraged by what the mother shared - how staying home with her children has been a sacrifice, but it has been the best sacrifice she has ever made. And the fruits of her sacrifices are so evident in the beautiful daughters she and her husband raised.
Sometimes, in the dailyness of life, when it feels that all you do is change diapers, wipe sticky hands, clean the kitchen yet again, and wonder where all the dirty laundry came from, it is easy to lose sight of the big picture. This is not for naught. These humble daily activities are shaping future adults. Our actions today can impact generations to come - yes, even the little mundane- seeming things. Our children are constantly watching, constantly observing. How we respond, how we live our lives, our relationship to our husband, our love (or lack thereof) towards them, our attitude towards the menial tasks. One day, we will reap what we sow.
Seeing the fruits of a Godly family, of parents who invested their all to train and raise their children - as portrayed in this film - is so heart-warming to me. I need this encouragement in the dailyness of life.

Oh, I'm so glad you reviewed this DVD! I just found out about it the other day and was eager to buy a couple for Christmas presents, but a little hesitant, too, not having watched it myself. :-D I'm happy to take your word for it, though!
We loved this DVD. It is a close call between Eden String Quartet and A Journey Home for my favorite. We also have The Peasall Sisters and Nancy Campbell's Family Meal Table. I am just thoroughly impressed with all of the Franklin Springs dvds. I am thankful to have a godly media company out there doing good shows for families to watch.

I so enjoyed this new DVD. It was touching and brought tears to my eyes when I saw the loving relationship between the parents and children. I loved the fresh arrangements of the hymns and the joyful expression always present on the face of the cellist.
A bit late to chime in but....
They are currently doing a 3-pack of Eden String Quartet, A Journey Home and The Peasall Sisters: Family Harmony for US$44.95. This translated to about $65 Australian dollars for me - a great deal for 3 DVDs.
