From appearances here in Central Texas, most of the major retailers are offering the DVD only online, not in stores. Of course, that is a disappointment, but it could also change if customers demand it. So, if you happen to be in one of the major retail stores, ask a manager to stock the Star!
On the other hand, many Christian bookstores DO have DVDs on the shelf. That's where I purchased mine. It is my understanding that the Family Christian stores are doing a promotion today, so call or go by your local Christian bookstore.
Also, as of this morning, the DVD is available directly from starofbethlehemthemovie.com. And here is FUN NEWS: If you order there, you may be excited to find that Jim Caviezel (who played Jesus in The Passion of the Christ) has become a booster of the Star! Jim plays Jesus again in The Word of Promise audio bible which is now being comarketed with the Star DVD!
God is moving!
If you have time, pray with me:
"Father, we love the choir, but we don't want to preach only to them! We ask that the story of your Star makes its way into secular bookstores where people who do NOT know you come across it. We ask that you make your name great even among nonbelievers. Puzzle and shock them, Lord, with the story of your Star. Draw them to yourself! We ask it in Jesus' precious name, amen."

Baby Throws Elbows
Maybe it'll be different this Christmas.
Official retail launch of the Star DVD is two weeks from today, October 23, 2007. The earliest a national chain might advertise it in a Sunday newspaper insert is likely October 21. Of course, they might wait for the Christmas season, or might ignore the Star DVD entirely. But, you're on the team. So, pray, and watch for it!
Thank you for the reviews you have put at Amazon, Walmart, et al. Those positive reviews are actually a form of ministry -- people will stumble across the DVD with no idea about it. Your strong reviews will cause them to get it and hear the gospel in a new way. I'm praying we'll see people in heaven because of this DVD. Your reviews will result in families hearing the gospel this Christmas (for a change). If you have enjoyed the DVD, stop and leave a review at Amazon, Walmart, Target, Circuit City, Best Buy, Barnes & Noble, Borders, etc.. God can use you to elbow back into His own holiday.
If you have time, join me in prayer.
"Father, must the evil one dominate popular culture, even your holiday? Your word calls him the prince of the power of the air. When you say that, are you talking about broadcast media? We thank you that your people are fighting back with Christian music, radio, TV and movies. Use your Star as a mighty weapon in the fight. Draw many to the DVD. Fill hearts with the irresistible desire to share with their families. Cause whole households to think about YOU this Advent. We sorrow that so many ignore you, elbow you aside on YOUR birthday. It makes us weep. This year, we ask that your natal Star crash wonderfully, joyously into the homes of thousands! For your glory and our joy! We ask it in Jesus' name, amen."
