My wife and I purchased the original book HIFR when it first began sweeping the nation – and we LOVED it. We passed it on to several friends and family members, and it gave deep insightful meaning about heaven from a 4 year old’s perspective. This kit is meant to piggy-back on the original book and bring more “behind the scenes” content to the book, and for a small group setting. I was given a complimentary copy of this kit from the publisher in exchange for an unbiased review. I reviewed this alone, so I’m not 100% able to speak in to how this would work for a small group setting – but from imagination, I couldn’t see it working really well, unless the group was fairly new converts. The book offers a discussion guide with fill in the blank questions for small groups, and the DVD offers 5 segments 10-20 minutes in length. Overall, I felt like the quality of the DVD was good – but was built with minimal effort. I edit video for a living, so maybe I’m more picky than most, but I felt that for such a widespread movement as the book was, there could have been more effort put in to the titles and DVD menus. Otherwise, the footage was good, and the set that the Burpo’s were interviewed on looked high quality.

Again – I don’t imagine this working particularly well in a well-established small group. However, if you’re looking for a tool to help build the foundation of Heaven in to new believers or doubters, this is a good tool. Not great, but good.
