The Action Bible: Faith in Action Edition

 Hello everyone,

I'm happy to share my latest review with you today, The Action Bible: Faith in Action Edition  .

Many thanks to David C. Cook for providing a sample of the product for this review. Opinions are 100% my own and NOT influenced by monetary compensation. 

This edition of The Action Bible was a treat to receive in the mail. It arrived in a sturdy, colorful box that had eye catching illustrations on the inside of the box. As for the Bible itself, Wow! It is a very nice, sturdy, hardcover book that certainly had me wanting to pick it up and start reading.

The Faith in Action Edition is an enhanced version of the bestselling Expanded Edition. For anyone unfamiliar with it, this one presents the Bible in comic book style. Now hold up, I can hear some of you saying, no thanks, I want a traditional version. Wait a minute, please! Yes, it's in the graphic novel sort of genre. That is actually a great thing, particularly for those younger ones who may struggle with reading, for one reason or another. This edition is about helping kids Engage in God's Word, Grow in God's Word, and Live God's Word.

The illustrations are captivating, drawing the reader in. The text is true to Scripture, which of course is the most important thing. The stories are presented in a short, impactful manner, helping connect Gen Zs and Gen Alphas to God's Word.

The pages have been created with kids in mind as well, using sturdy, glossy paper, making flipping to any story a breeze. Stories are in chronological order to better help kids understand God's redemptive story.

Major themes of the Bible are highlighted throughout with icons that help kids personalize their faith and live God's Word. Themes of the Bible are based on David C. Cook's tested Bible study curriculum for kids and include: Courage, Faith, Hope, Love, Service, Trust, and Wisdom.

Spiritual Growth Resources include over 200 devotionals, prayers, character stories, teaching videos, timelines, maps, and Bible facts.

The Faith in Action Edition is the most complete interactive Bible for kids and teens. Kids and parents can access digital resources by scanning QR codes throughout the Bible. The Action Bible has helped millions of kids engage in God's Word throughout the world.

I wasn't sure about the style of this edition for about a millisecond. I think this version will be a great resource for kids, and the parents, teachers, Sunday School helpers...and on and on. Add this to your gift and giveaway list. Your kids will like it!

The Chosen Season 4- Episodes 1-3

 

Many thanks to Come and See Foundation, Inc., for providing a sample of the product for this review. Opinions are 100% my own.

Hey everyone,

I love reviewing various products and resources, particularly when they are faith based ones. This week, I had the very enjoyable opportunity to review the first three episodes of The Chosen Season 4   

Yes friends, the wait is over, and our favorite series is back! 

Not surprisingly, these first episodes are as engaging as the first three seasons have been. If you're familiar with the Bible, you'll already know that the account takes on an increasingly serious tone, as the time for Jesus to journey to the cross draws closer.

I know that I'm not alone in finding The Chosen a refreshing portrayal of the life of Christ. Gone are the older versions, where most of the characters are blonde or light brown in hair color, sporting British accents. The actors, the settings, the accents...all work together to offer a more realistic interpretation. of course, there is creative license throughout, seen in side stories, and imagined conversations between Jesus, and His followers. But the heart of it stays true to the Bible, which is what I. my family, and of course the countless other viewers find compelling. 

Episode 1 centers around John the Baptist, starting with his miraculous birth, his extraordinary life, culminating in his death, and the effects on the disciples, and Jesus Himself.  It is a fantastic possible look at what they all felt and experienced..

Episode 2 begins with the continued effect that John's death has had, but moves on to one of the most important questions a person can ask, "Who do you say that I (Jesus) say I am? As the disciples wrestle with this, the religious leaders are conspiring against Jesus. Time is growing short.

Episode 3 offers a look at the growing unrest in the leaders, from the Roman soldiers, up to the religious leaders. We see an urgency in Jesus' teachings as His earthly time is growing shorter. As for the way this episode ends, you won't see this coming, and it will leave you open mouthed in shock and surprise. My own response is simply, Wow.

I'd love to tell you more, but I won't. I would urge you- SEE THIS SEASON!! I pray it will draw you closer to the Lord, increase your faith, and move you to share Jesus with your friends and family. RISE UP!

Now, a few details:

Synopsis: 

Clashing kingdoms. Rival Rulers. The enemies of Jesus close in while His followers struggle to keep up, leaving Him to carry the burden alone. Threatened by the reality of Jesus' growing influence, religious leaders do the unthinkable ally with their Roman oppressors. As the seeds of betrayal are planted and opposition to Jesus' message turns violent, He's left with no alternative but demand His followers RISE UP.

Some "Fun Facts" for you:
