From the creator of the Veggie Tales series comes a NEW set of videos that not only held the attention of our 6-yr old and 9-yr old, but our 13-yr old found herself watching {and learning!} as well.

I was intrigued by What’s in the Bible? since these videos aim to enhance biblical literacy :: helping children to know and to understand the BIG story of the Bible, from start to finish.

Wow, that’s a huge claim!

Thoughts BEFORE watching What’s in the Bible?

We’re not big video or TV watchers, but our children have enjoyed Veggie Tales off and on in the past.  I figured giving this series a chance would be fun and informational, since I had several questions before viewing:

Hmm…just how would biblical history be presented?

Would the information be ‘dumbed down’?

Would we come away wanting to know more?

Besides, our kiddos could definitely use a nudge towards learning further.  I hoped What’s in the Bible? would help us dig into the bestselling book of all time.

We were not disappointed.  The content in these videos is stellar!

Highlights of What’s in the Bible? videos:

When I say the content is top-notch, that’s to say my questions were answered positively.  NO – these videos are not dumbed down as far as information is concerned.

What’s in the Bible? videos are:

• chronological :: presenting Bible stories in order as the events happened
• chock-full of information :: each 25 minute episode (there are two on each DVD) takes a chunk of biblical history and breaks it into understandable bites – but the info such as names, dates, etc. is all there.  Plus there are study guides available for parents.
• sequential :: the volumes build upon one another and refer back to previous stories and accounts – so starting with Volume 1  is recommended.
• fun! :: a mix of both animation and human interaction as creator Phil speaks, songs, various characters and more!

Volume 6 Trailer {a speedy look at scenes from the episodes}:

Our Thoughts on What’s in the Bible? Vol. 6

The kids and I watched Volume 6 in the series – titled ‘A Nation Divided’.  These episodes cover I and II Kings and also I and II Chronicles.

We learned of a whole FAT list of kings (and queens!), mostly corrupt and bad, who reigned Israel after King David…and also:

• how his son and grandson nearly threatened the Davidic covenant established by God
• why Israel split into TWO nations
• and the very sad ending of both Israel and Judah

But also, a tiny glimpse at the promise of HOPE through the prophet Isaiah – JESUS, our forever and good King, is coming!

I was pleasantly surprised by how much we enjoyed this animated presentation of the Bible.  Our children were engaged, asked questions, and begged for me to get Volumes 2-5 (we own #1 as well)!  Grandparents, are you reading this? 🙂
