I enjoyed reading your post. I hadn’t heard of the series and am going to look into getting it. I have a lot of the Beginners Bible videos. I actually downloaded them from youtube and I really like them. I didn’t know if you had heard of them. Thanks again for the post.

Check out goingthroughthebible.com. It is a a five year study through the Bible directed at children that includes a weekly Bible story broken down into five daily lessons that consist of a 3-5 minute video. There is a daily Bible reading, also, that you can listen to together as a family (one chapter a day). If you become a member, you can download daily printables to go with each lesson for a minimal cost.

In reply to Jessica. Jessica, Yes, I definitely have mixed feelings about Veggie Tales. I like a few of their videos that teach Biblical principles, but not the ones they do about actual Bible stories. If you are going to teach kids Bible Stories, I just feel they should in some way resemble the real thing.

I totally agree! I’ve started for the first time just reading the Bible with my kids, and I figured they would only be able to handle one chapter at a time, but they surprised me and ask me to keep reading most of the time. I stop and ask questions to make sure they are paying attention and are learning something, and they can almost always answer me. It’s just amazing! We don’t watch Veggie Tales anymore – portraying Jesus as a Giant onion is blasphemous in my humble opinion – but we really like the NEST videos. One consideration for younger or more sensitive viewers though…a little girl I know has had nightmares for years from one of them – I think Satan tempting Jesus in the wilderness.

Blessings,

Jessica.

Thank you so much for this post and link. I totally agree with you on what you wrote about the difference between trying to tell a biblical truth, compared to actually telling the bible story.
I will definitely look into this dvd and thank you again for telling me about this.

I’m definitely right with you about the Bible being the best resource and that even young kids can do well with listening to it being read. Sometimes I’ll pick up a book at the library to supplement what we are reading, but that is definitely a supplement, NOT a substitute. One resources I really liked (and my kids LOVED) was Ken Ham’s A is for Adam. They have made the original book into a curriculum of sorts and we used it at the beginning of the year when we started out Genesis. Thanks for your recommendation, I’ll go watch the trailer now.
