I recieved What’s in the Bible: “Battle for the Promised Land” form Tyndale publishers in turn for a review. What’s in the Bible is a series that is being developed by Veggie Tales creator Phil Vischer.
In the DVD What’s in the Bible: “Battle for the Promised Land” takes children throught the old testament books of Joshua, Judges, and Ruth. With a lot of interesting characters along with Phil himself you are taken on a fun and fascinating journey through these three books of the bible.
The DVD is very entertaining. I think kids are going to love this series. I think it is great what Phil is doing. In my opinion kids these days are not learning enough about the Bible, and its history and the story that it tells.
I think that with the way that the Bible is being presented it will engage children and make them want to learn more.
I think that these films will fit into any church curriculum very well and will be a great addition to any families DVD library. As a parent and uncle I can see the benefits that would come from watching this as a family. It is as entertaining for the adult viewer as it is for the child. Also, by watching it as a family it will give you the much needed family time that comes with today;s fast paced society as well as great topics for family discussions.
So I give this video and the series overall “two thumbs up”.
The following are some thoughts from my two nieces on the film:
What did you learn form the film?
Alana: “I learned about the books of Joshua Judges, and Ruth and it was fun.”
Vivian: “I learned about the story o f the battle for the land God promised.”
Did you find the video entertaining?
Alana: “Yes, it was fun.”
Vivian: “Yes, the characters where funny.”
Would you like to see the rest of the series?
Alana: “Yes.”
Vivian: “Absolutely, Do we have them?”
What was your favorite character?
Alana: “The pirate.”
Vivian: “The Pirate.”
There you have it. Glowing reviews from a couple of 10 years olds. They can be some of the toughest critics around!

First, I would give the video to my grandson. Second, I reckon my favorite animated character would be Voltron (from years ago) or Lightning McQueen from CARS. Third, I don’t have FB or Twitter. Fourth, you are already in my Google Reader. Whew! My fingers are tired.
I like many characters in cartoons. In Dispicable Me, the would be bad guy. In UP, I like the older gentleman. In Veggie Tales, I like Larry Boy-superhero.
Thanks!
I’m also pretty partial to Larry the Cucumber.
