What’s in the Bible? Review & Giveaway!!

Official Stop On The What's In The Bible Blog Tour
Do you know what is in the Bible? Is the Bible true? What is a canon? Can you explain to your children what patriarchal history is?

If not, you are definitely not alone. Phil Vischer, the mind behind Veggie Tales, has created a new DVD series called What’s in the Bible? to help walk families through the Bible together in a fun and humorous way. The series will eventually have 13 DVDs covering it all ~ even the tough stuff, covering topics such as the DaVinci code, who picked the books to be in the Bible, and was the world literally created in 7 days.

The kids and I sat down to watch the first two episodes of What’s in the Bible? with Buck Denver and fell in love! If the entire series were available today I would most certainly invest in every single one of them for our family. Not only are the kids learning things {and laughing along}, I am learning and laughing too.

Want to get a little peek at the series and see for yourself? Check out this 3 minute clip.



 

I am so impressed with what I’ve seen that I’ve already been trying to figure out how we could incorporate the DVD series into our homeschool teaching ~ we love it that much. I am eagerly anticipating the release of future DVDs too. Running time for each is approximately 1 hour.

The first two DVDs in the What’s in the Bible? series are currently available
The Giveaway is now closed ~ thanks for entering!

Would you like to win a copy of Episode #1 ~ “In the Beginning” or Episode #2 ~ “Let My People Go”? Leave a comment on this post ~ be sure to include your email address! I will choose two different winners {one for each of the DVDs}. The giveaway will be open until Sunday, March 14th at 8pm.


I was given this product to review by Tyndale House.  I do not have to return the product. I was not paid for this post. All opinions expressed in this post are mine.

  26. What a wonderful new video series, I am sure that it will capture so many children (and adults) and help them learn about the Bible in such a fun way. I would love to see the "Let My People Go" for our upcoming unit in our homeschooling. But hey, either video would be fun to watch. Hopefully we can find these in our library one day. Thanks always for the great info.
    Blessings.

    Awesome!
