This is what we call Andrew's new favorite CD/DVD. It's the lead song and one of his favorites to sing when he wakes up from nap or in the morning and has his practice sessions with Mr. Bunny, Mrs. Bunny, and Big Bunny.
We bought this CD/DVD combo along with "The Toddler Bible" at Mardel last week b/c I was seriously concerned that Andrew was not just "not interested" in the Bible, prayer, God, or Jesus, but that was he was completely opposed to all of them. I was worried that our son was never to become a Christian! He never picked up his two other kids Bibles to read, he jumped out of my lap for another book if I suggested them, he squirms when we try to pray, he won't repeat the names Jesus or God... seriously, what is up with our kid?
NOW, he is singing scripture! It is so fun! We owe this change of heart and spirit to the "Hide'em in Your Heart" CD/DVD volume 1. If you've never heard of these, there are 2 volumes and they are scripture put to song for kids. They're great! Andrew is now obsessed with it. And I don't mind it at all because it has me learning and singing scripture, too. I will say, however, that the DVD was filmed in, like, 1990 because the outfits are hilarious!
Also, we have started our nightly family devotion time with the new Toddler Bible. We haven't gotten past Noah b/c Andrew wants to keep reading about Adam and Eve, the fruit, and then Noah's Big Boat. But, hey, he's learning the Bible for heaven's sake. Who says we have to read one story a night all the way through?
We're going to be praying the prayer of salvation before we know it...

That's so fun Erin!! Sometimes it just takes a little music to make things fun, huh. I can't wait to buy the same cd and Bible for JG. Jesse and I were just talking about needing a scripture to music cd and Bible... great timing! Sing on Morgans, sing on!

We have several good kids praise CD's but Katherine is also not as interested in her Bible. One thing is that it has real pages and it not a board book. I also think the pictures are not as interesting and all look the same since all the people have long robes and beards.

Tessa has those dvd/cd's too and loves them! She calls it the "Jesus songs" and asks for them a lot. Yeah, the dvd's are very out-dated, but she's much less opinionated than I am. I like the music too and find the songs in my head all too often - but it's a good thing, right? I'll have mt parents bring a toddler Bible, but she does like her rhyming board book Bible - or at least the animals in it.
