4.0 out of 5 stars Great value, July 22, 2005

By	Tom Trails "Tom Trails" (Arizona) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase

You can't go wrong with this when the price is so low. The animation quality is like that typically seen in basic Saturday morning cartoons, which is good enough for kids. What I like is that all the videos in this series give all the important details of the story, rather than giving a shallow, watered-down version as is usually the case in children's stories. These will entertain preschoolers up through junior high and the script is very closely based on the scriptural account. The only reason I didn't give this series a 5 is that each video has a hokey song that could definitely have been left out, but for such a low price and good script, I can overlook that.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring Interest in Future Believers, October 5, 2007

By	James D. Madden (Colorado Springs, Colorado United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This DVD production of the story of the Apostles has accomplished exactly what I had hoped for my 3yr old son: an interest in learning about the Lord and His involvement in the lives of those who trust Him, recognizing not everyone shares the same love and faith in Jesus, early believers suffered tremendously because of their faith, and understanding we need to continue to share our faith in Jesus just as the Apostles did. My son often recites (in surprising detail) various scenes from the tale. One of my fellow brothers in Christ calls my son "The Little Preacher" because my son enjoys capturing the attention of those around him so he can retell the story of the Apostles. I understand some reviewing this telling of the story may prefer stricter adherence to various nuances and literary exactness from Scripture - I can appreciate that as I am a literal believer of Scripture. There is never a perfect retelling of any Biblical story that will appeal to everyone's preference. As already mentioned, this achieved what I had hoped for my son: an interest in learning about the Lord and His involvement in the lives of those who trust Him, recognizing not everyone shares the same love and faith in Jesus, early believers suffered tremendously because of their faith, and understanding we need to continue to share our faith in Jesus just as the Apostles did.

1.0 out of 5 stars A Disappointment, September 20, 2007

By	Scotophile "Sister BJ" (Newark, DE) - See all my reviews

This video is titled "Apostles"... but there are only 2 of the 12 even mentioned in the program. I am very disappointed in it, and it does nothing to further the teaching of our young children about the calling of the first Apostles who learned the Faith directly from Jesus.
