What's In The Bible Review and Giveaway!

If you have been reading my blog for some time now, you probably already know my feelings about the What's in the Bible? DVD series.  If you are a new reader and have never heard of this series before, I am excited to be able to tell you about it!

And I have great news, I was recently selected to be an official What's in the Bible Street Team Member so I'll be able to keep you up to date with all new releases and news! 

What’s in the Bible? is a new DVD series from VeggieTales creator Phil Vischer designed to walk kids and families through the entire Bible. The 13 DVD-series released in March 1, 2010.

In What's in the Bible?, Israel Gets a King, Buck Denver and friends take us through 1 and 2 Samuel and the two episodes focus on three of the most influential kings of Israel (Saul, David, and Solomon).

So who is the genius behind this series?  In 1990, 24-year-old computer-animator Phil Vischer sat down to create a group of characters that could teach Christian values to kids in a delightfully different way.  A tomato named Bob and a cucumber named Larry were born.  VeggieTales would go on to revolutionize Christian film making, selling more than 50 million videos and placing Phil’s faith-filled stories in one in every three American households with young children.
 
Phil continues to pursue innovative new ways to integrate faith and storytelling through his new company, Jellyfish Labs.  His projects include Jelly Telly, which provides faith-based daily programming via the Internet at JellyTelly.com.
 
My Thoughts: This year in Community Bible Study both the adults and children studied 1 and 2 Samuel.  If you've read those two books you know there are some stories that are hard for adults to read, let alone children (we skipped a couple).  By the time we received Volume 5, Israel Gets a King, I was looking forward to watching how they were presented in the DVD.  I have to say that they did an excellent job!  Israel Gets a King is wonderful for children and adults of all ages.  
 
Thoughts of an 8-Year Old: My honest opinion is I love it! It's as good as the last four, which were great. I think it is funny and it taught me 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, and 1 Kings. I was really excited when we got it. I learned so much! It's great to know God's Word!
